*** 7. Recent guest feedback.

Dear Sally,

We would like to say how wonderful our stay in the Sentinel was.
We could not fault a thing, absolutely perfect.

We would also like to thank the lovely woman who minded our baggage at your City Road office, ordered a taxi to be ready to take us to the airport and showed us such great courtesy last Friday. We will certainly be returning to Melbourne (you can't imagine how much our 18 year old son bought from Smith Street). We will be in touch with you when we are planning our next trip. In the meantime please accept our thanks for your whole team - what a wonderful place to stay.

Pauline, Andrew & Nic, New Zealand

Hi Nicole,

We spent two nights in a 2 bedroom apartment at Southpoint with our family in May 2004. It was absolutely beautiful, had everything we needed and was in an excellent location. Also, it was a very reasonable price. My husband and I usually pay the same just for a room for ourselves when in Melbourne, so we were very pleased.

Just wanted to let you know how happy we were with our stay. And that we will be very happy to stay there again in the future, should we need to come to Melbourne again.

Thank you. Leanne & Family, Tasmania
