Sorry S C - I could only find references to two "Mantra hotels" & neither is near OP - One is in Little Bourke between Queen & William Sts  - The other is at the top end of Exhibition St.

Best way for you to get to "MC Labor Park" is to catch a tram in Elizabeth St.
This tourist page should help White Hat .There's a Google map at the bottom of the page.
When you're standing in front of MC Labor the external ground Storm sometimes train on is on the left side,(as is the Storm admin office).Not sure about access to MC Labor itself as I've never got to a training session.

Got it
That's an easy 10 minute stroll down Flinders St to the bottom of Elizabeth St.
I was looking for places in Richmond  :?
As a courier it's frustrating keeping place with the changing names/owners of hotels.  :o

Storm will probably update it on their site nearer the time.

Tram 19 (North Coburg) is the tram you want from Elizabeth St, it goes right past MC Labour Park, Storm's training ground, I think stop 16 is the one you want. Just look for the Carlton Football Club shop & social club entrance, just off a small car park, once in the entrance turn left and look for a staircase heading up. Once upstairs you should be in an open room with views of the playing surface, from that room there is access to the outdoor seating area. Just make your way down to the playing surface from there. Sorry I can't give clearer directions but I have only been there a couple of times and usually just wing it.
