I need to come down for a few nights in May - my son is graduating from FIT.

At least you-all will have one less yankee hanging around.

Ouch. I live and work in the area - Nothing I can really reccomend as that area in melbourne is pretty........ "old", and melbourne as a whole is kinda rough.



If it were me I'd stay at the crowne plaza or Hilton across the causeway in Indialantic. It's maybe 15 minutes from FIT and a nice drive. A whole different feel out there.

What do you do in Melbourne, if you don't mind me asking.

OP, I second the advice, stay beach side at one of the hotels.  Crown Plaza or  Radision would be my recommendation.  For mainland side there is the Residence Inn on Babcock St.  All of these are pretty nice.  

For eats try Meg O'Mallys, The Mansion, Rum Island Grill, and for local cheap food Long Dogger's in Indialantic.

Thanks Guys,

We stayed in Indiatlantic when we dropped him off 4 years ago.

My wife and daughter prefer the beach.

Not a bad idea at all. Anything closer to the beach is going to be better than Melbourne proper.

Also, absolutely hit Meg O'Malley's for dinner and a pint.

I consulted with the wife.

We apparently stayed at the Crown Plaza the last time we were there. We are going to stay at the Doubletree (on the beach) this time.

Thanks Guys!

I walk the beach pass there all the time.  I've never been inside, but the location is very good.
