Room was basic but clean. Motel currently doing renovations so some areas were very untidy.
Limited parking made it hard to find somewhere to park on the street.
Room had a small kitchenette but no cutlery, not even a teaspoon.
Lots of options close by for meals at night but nothing open Sunday morning for breakfast.
Easy to find & close to CBD.

It's a great location and friendly reception staff. You need to book through the hotel directly to get complimentary parking though - not made clear on the WotIf site. Be aware there is building renovation work happening that reduces the number of car spaces and makes manoeuvring into a car space difficult - and can be noisy during the day in the rooms.

On arrival I was upgraded - to get to the room you go through the fire door (not that there was a sign indicating this!) The room doesn't look like the photo (see my pictures attached) only one side table on double bed, kitchenette sink had broken tape, wardrobe is in the bathroom, no heating in bathroom, shower head was 'jerry-rigged', hand towel is a 30cm square, lighting throughout was way too bright (wrong bulbs?), street noise was non stop - from cars, trucks and motorcycles even garbage trucks at 0400 in the morning! The staff unprofessional (insisted sharing the lift with me carrying a wet mop for the sake of 3 minutes) had no idea - just disgusting!!!....short of a motel I stayed at in Oregan USA that had greasy yes greasy sheets ..this was close to the worst.. would never

The rooms were fundamentally different to the photos - they were dirty (to the point there were dust bunnies on top of the airconditioning unit), in poor condition and with peeling paint. Not the sort of place you go back to if you want to relax. My room was next to the exhaust stack for a next door restaurant, which left it smelling of grease and grill cleaner - I tried turning on the airconditioning, which didn't help, and which inflamed my allergies. I had originally booked for three nights but had to leave after one night - I told the reception staff why I was leaving, but they showed absolutely no interest or concern. Avoid at all costs.

The room was dusty, the bed was hard, there was no toilet roll holder in the bathroom, and my friend had an allergic reaction to fumes coming into their room via the aircon/vent from a nearby restaurant. The staff member at the reception desk did not seem to care about our experience when we told them about the fumes and that we would not be staying for the rest of the nights booked.

Service was friendly and efficient. Slight delay in check in due to my room not being ready for my check in time (2pm).

Parts of the carpet in my room were poorly laid leading to concrete flooring underneath the carpet being visible.

At the end of the day my stay was extremely pleasant. Public transport hubs are in very close proximity. With lots of dining options all in very close proximity.

North facing room made all the difference in Melbourne mid-winter. As a past resident of North Carlton, I would highly recommend this property. I only wish I had discovered this place before my visit to Melbourne for a reunion and stayed the whole three nights instead of only one night. Thank you to the staff,

For the price, the location and room were excellent. The room was much larger and better equipped than various similarly priced places I've stayed nearby. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and having 24 hr reception was also convenient. Can be noisy sometimes eg late nights on weekends, but it is expected given the location. Would stay again.

Facilities like shower & toilet very run down. It took ages for me to get luke war water to take a shower. Staff charged me $30 parking fee because I booked with Expedia & not directly with the hotel. Complaint made to Expedia whom refunded the parking fee. I will never go back to Carlton Lodge again.

Staff were great, we were in the room overlooking the street and we found it too noisy from the live music in the restaurant nest door and too many cars with loud exhaust systems. And motorcycles.
The hotel was convenient for our needs, short walk to trams. It also would have been nice to have clothes storage so we had to live out of our luggage bags for our six night stay.

Change of owners

We have been staying at this motel for many years when we travel to Melbourne. It has always been incredible with large rooms with kitchenetes. HOWEVER, this time there has been a change of owner and the rooms are small and cramped. Where parking used to be free you are now charged $30 per day which increases the amount paid for the room. We will not return again.

Room 118 was at the back end of the property, just above the metal roller gates. This was very noisy on past midnight. Not staying here again. Room was fine, good location, but noise unbearable.

I loved staying here. It's close to the University and plenty of dining choices and the staff are really lovely and accomodating. They really took care of me.

Wotif on the other hand are a terrible site. They over booked and didn't send through my booking to the Lygon Lodge, though they charged me and it was only through the help of the hotel staff I was able to get a room. I will never use Wotif again and I would strongly recommend to my colleagues, friends and family to never use Wotif again too.

We specifically chose the property as it advertised parking, yet when we got there we found that parking was not available on the property and to park on the street for free between 7pm and 7am.
As it was Valentines Day...there was no parking and who wants to have to wake before 7am to shift their vehicle.
Subsequently, we parked in the Carpark next door only to find that doesn't open the next day and we needed to pay a hefty penalty to have someone attend the carpark to let our car out....causing us to miss our next flight.

Extremely disappointed. Will not be back.

Very disappointing. I travel every few weeks here and abroad and this is easily the worst experience in the last year. I don’t normally leave reviews and have never left a negative review.
1. Glass door to balcony won’t lock so impossible to secure room. First floor balcony is easily accessible from outside.
2. Aircon remote screen broken so can’t control it as can’t see what you’re doing.
3. No water pressure in shower and almost no hot water water. Have to run for minutes to get it warm.
4. Didn’t replace hand towels. Took on first day and never replaced.
5. Hairdryer broken and held together with rubber bands.
6. Iron also broken
Never got a reply back, update, explanation or apology. Told no other room available

Great location and decent sized room but room is poorly laid out. Shower was very dirty and fixtures broken/lose. No bed skirt which made it feel like a dorm room. Hotel desperately needs a good deep clean and some updates.

The one bedroom unit was clean, spacious and functional, with two A/C units ensuring a comfortable climate. The kitchen area was functional and adequately furnished. Overall furnishings were acceptable and the bathroom was obviously newly renovated and very nice. Prior comments intimated no street noise; we beg to differ, listening to probably young males (making up for other shortcomings?) racing their cars down the street. Overall the stay was acceptable, the staff were very friendly and the location was very convenient. Would we stay here again? The possibility of street noise would likely prompt us to at least consider other options.

This place was perfect for me as a solo traveller, it was close to everything I needed to get to! The building isn't new so of course there are some stains on the floors however it was properly cleaned and the staff were very lovely!
The standard room that I had was small which honestly I prefer and because I was at the back of the building it was quiet.
