needs refurbishing

First impression on entering the room was the sense nothing had been updated for a few decades. The walls were in need of a fresh coat of paint, there was no toilet seat cover, the smoke alarm had the cover off and no batteries, wood trim had come off a counter, desperately short of power outlets, etc.
However, the beds were comfortable, the sheets and towels clean, no bad small, the room we were in was quiet, and the staff were cheerful.

Helpful and friendly check-in. Permitted early check-in to attend a funeral and arranged that my room would the first one cleaned after previous occupier vacated. TV, microwave and fridge all new. Carpet appeared new and walls, etc. clearly recently painted. Close to public transport. On busy intersection with trams and buses but noise substantially lowere by apparent double glazing. Smallish room, typical of the building era, but value at 110/night inc. GST

Dangerous - pool gate tied back, hence always open. Water green and slimey. Safety chain on door broken!
Dirty - room smelt of smokers, despite no smoking signs. Shower used by earlier patron, wet, used shampoo and soap in shower and wet towel! Pillows showed signs of previous use. Outside areas filthy, with an old couch just lying in the walkway, plus rubbish, dirt and broken tiles in public areas.
Decrepit- The whole motel is extremely run down. Graffiti on outside walks, main signs on roadways falling over, doors and architraves showing years of wear. Aircon not functioning despite switching on. I could not believe the condition of this accommodation. Disgusting!

Good value

I grew up around this area and way back then, this hotel was pretty flash. That was a long time ago. The place hasn't really changed much and there are certainly much more contemporary places around now. As with many things in life you get what you pay for. What I got for the very reasonable price i paid was a pool, air conditioning, free wifi, and a clean spacious room. The staff were also very nice. The breakfast was pretty basic, but there again I didn't pay a lot for the room. Overall it was good value and I'd stay there again for the same price.

The location, parking, access to two tram routes, and price. I have regularly used this motel over many years.

The room was a great size and the sheets lovely and clean as well as great hot water. Generally though the place needs an overhaul. There was a wet patch in front of the bathroom door. The air conditioner did not work and the concertina doors dividing the room were very, very dusty when the door was pulled out.
The breakfast was adequate for a continental one and the room pleasant. Staff were pleasant and welcoming too. I really couldn't recommend it to anyone else but for the purpose we stayed it was ok.
We were told on registration that it was the bestroom in the motel!!!!!

Ok for the price

The room is in need of an upgrade in a number of areas. The room was clean and comfortable and the included breakfast was good. I was hoping to order some room service but the menu was taken away when I asked about it- no staff to cook apparently. The host came with me to the room to turn the TV on as the remote didn't work properly. But the location suited me for a night.

Ok rooms but really noisy.

The room was ok and the service was fine.
The intersection is REALLY noisy so sleep quality was poor for our stay.
Maybe a room that didn’t overlook the intersection/ tramline would’ve been better?
We wouldn’t risk another stay here.

This hotel was in a wonderful location with tram lines directly in front of it. Upon arrival I was appreciative of the welcome biscuits in the room to help you feel at home..The staff were lovely and enjoyed hearing the history of the place over a relaxed breakfast. It was clean and comfortable and had a lovely pool and bbq are and guest laundry. I would gladly stay in this lovely motel again.

Excellent location, affordability and room comfort. The motel is dated; however has adequate necessary comforts.

Would recommend to others and would stay again next time in Melbourne.

Thank you for a great stay
