Hi all
Coming down for the Nickelback concert in November which is @ Rod Laver Arena, after some recommendations on a good hotel which is close by (ideally walking distance?) Will need good secure parking too. Any ideas?

I stayed at the Novotel in Collins Street on Saturday night. It was pretty good. Rooms might be a bit more than $200 - I got a discount. They have valet parking ($35) and the buffet breakfast was fantastic.

Should be able to get a room for that at the new Northbank Hilton. Best bet is to book as late as you feel comfortable with and see what you can get as a last minute bargain. Looking at a map anything from Elizabeth Street back towards Etihad is within walking distance, or you could always just jump on a tram.

There's a nice place near Jolimont train station overlooking the MCG on Flinders St that would be a good bet, for the life of me I can't remeber the name.

I highly recommend Quay West at Southbank. Beautiful rooms, close to Rod Laver, secure parking.

We stayed at the Melbourne short stay apartments the other week. It was on city st/rd? southbank and we could see the crown and the Eureka tower from our Balcony. We were paying about 320 a night but I'm pretty sure they've got cheaper ones.

Yep $99 per night one night or $79 per night for two. Not overly pretty but heating cooling and a kitchenette. Stayed there last week.
