On Peppers — The Closest Option
At 300 metres, Peppers Southern Cross Melbourne is the closest hotel to the venue. It also holds the lowest guest scores in the precinct: 3.8/5 on Google (733 reviews) and 7.7/10 on Booking.com (1,929 reviews). A six-year review dataset shows service quality declining sharply from late 2025, with a service sub-rating of 2.86 in the most recent era. Pool and gym are offsite.
The 300-metre gap between Peppers and the Travelodge is about 2 minutes on foot. Whether that's worth the rating differential is the question.
Best Value — Travelodge Docklands
Travelodge Docklands (5 min walk) has 8.1/10 on Booking.com across 9,197 reviews and 4.0/5 on Google across 2,221 reviews. The largest verified review base in the precinct. For a Saturday night Foo Fighters stay, it's the strongest value proposition — rates from $96 off-peak, kitchenettes included.
Premium — Crowne Plaza or Marriott
Crowne Plaza Melbourne (11 min, 8.6/10 Booking.com) and Melbourne Marriott Docklands (10 min, 28m rooftop pool, Sunset House bar) are both strong options for a more considered stay. The Marriott's Sunset House makes a good pre-show dinner spot.
