Guest Reviews
- Christine (4/5): - There was a triping hazard getting from the car to our room we felt very unsteady on our feet and we are old 68 + in age sorry to complain but only 1 power point for air con kettle and toaster the bed however was comfortable and clean
- Bryan (6/5): - Air conditioning very old
Needed more pillows
- Denise (10/5): - Staff were friendly. Clean and located in convenient area close to my activity
- Mark (2/5): - This property should be bulldozed. It is a joke. How anyone can present that for business is beyond me.
- Bryan (6/5): - Initial mixup in allocated room.
No soap provided.
- John (8/5): Good stay - Very clean and comfortable but showing its age. There isn’t a daily room service but that wasn’t a problem as I was only there for 3 nights. Mine hosts very considerate and friendly. I would stay here again.
- Tresna (10/5): - The hosts were very kind and very helpful, and made sure we felt welcomed.
- Karen (6/5): - Unfortunately, I was too unwell to travel, and I was also so sick that I was unable to change my booking. The process for changing my booking is a lengthy and painful process of which I was not in the right frame of mind to do so.
- Arvinder (10/5): - COSY AND CLEAN
- Verified traveler (4/5): Overpriced and under delivered - Rooms are very dark and very shocking excuse for interior design. Beds would walk around floor whilst sleeping. Would have been more comfortable to have slept on the floor rather than the bed. Only 1 bath towel, half roll of toilet paper, no crockery or cutlery in room. Microwave had wrong glass plate so didn't turn properly and banged around. Door latch continually jammed open so took some time to ensure door into room was actually closed and secured. Laundry facilities mentioned on website, on arrival found laundry room and was locked. Upon asking staff we were told they don't facilitate laundry facilities. With the price per night not being the cheapest but on par with multiple other motels in area, rooms were definitely do not reflect the price paid per night.
- Robert (4/5): - Police called to altercations in other rooms during the night. People hanging around vehicles during the night. Door to my room broken and in the morning a noticeable gap showing daylight through the door jam space.
- Peter (6/5): - Good basic accommodation. Aircon (heating) showing age with noise level. Room heat loss evident due to draught from poor sealing front door.
Satisfactory accommodation at the price paid.
- Colin (2/5): - The rooms were dirty and unkempt used vapes were under the bed The TV did not work, the heater was noisy and falling apart .The towel rails were held together with tape the cupboards did not open-we slept on our coats covering the filthy pillows and linen The place was a glorified homeless shelter.Do not say here if you value your health-and if you choose to ignore this review bring insect spray to deal with the giant cockroaches that lurk along the side and back of the beds.And an added bonus is the open drain in front of your room.
- Andrew (4/5): - Probably fair condition for the cost but the place has certainly seen better days. Good location but in need of a makeover.
- Maureen (10/5): - The room was nice enough clean and tidy
- Laura (8/5): - I liked the receptionist I thought the brother's workers where nice. The bed was comfortable. The price of accommodation was excellent. I disliked that the lamp on the left side didn’t work. The toilet at the back leaked. The shower had left over hair in it. The television didn't have a remote. The first draw was broken.
- David (10/5): - Plumbing needs some attention. The water in the base of the shower is not draining away quick enough
- Kate (10/5): - Perfect stay. Great location. Friendly helpful staff. All you need for an overnight stay. We will definitely be back.
- Nicholas (2/5): - Absoloutly terrible
- michael (2/5): - I payed $125 for the night. I would stay there if it was free
- Jon (8/5): - It was a hotel room, which is what I asked and paid for.
- William (6/5): - Hard to find motel at nite Not really lit up.
- Anthony (8/5): - Ok
- Jessie (10/5): - Great location, clean and quiet. Owners were friendly and helpful.
- Aweke (8/5): - I think there was a mouse above the ceilings and it scratches and make noise in the middle of the night.
So that I couldn't sleep well on that day.
- Andrew (2/5): - The owner was verbally and physically agressive, I should have called the police. I waited for 45 minutes at the hotel to check in and after his attitude and agression I went elsewhere. To coin a phrase "rat hole"!! behind the trees is old wheels and rubbish, the outdoor setting is an OHS disaster. Do yourself a favour do not stay here!!!
- Christopher (2/5): - Checked out early it was so bad. Upon arrival at reception l had to call a number and wait 5 minutes before seen. Then was asked to pay an extra $14 in cash as was told wotif did not change the correct rate. The room smelt of smoke and was smoke stained . room was unclean and towels were so old and thin there was no way to dry yourself. This place is a rip-off and is unfit to stay better off staying at a backpackers.
- Chad (8/5): - Enjoyable place to stay
- Michael (6/5): - N/a
- Ronita (2/5): - The customer service at this motel was SHOCKING! Stayed one night (out of four). Despite stay being fully paid for, receptionist insisted he had to be paid the shortfall between what the booking site charged and the motel's normal room rate in cash. When contacted by booking site (after speaking to site - Expedia provided great support dealing with this incident), receptionist lied about not knowing about what was going on. Then turned off power to room and took key, told to go to an ATM to get the cash. Recruited a guest in another room (a stranger) to "watch over things in room" (because unable to lock room without a key to get back in) until cash was collected. Was staying another three nights, but left immediately. Motel facilities are worn and in severe need of upgrade. DO NOT STAY HERE!
- Tammy (2/5): - Dirty over priced dump. Towels were thin as rags and one was covered in poo. No milk. Someone needs to shut the place down so nobody else books it.
- Geoff (2/5): - The worst motel i have ever sta u ed in.
- James (2/5): - Couldn’t spend the night there.
- Glenn (2/5): - It smells like poo
- Chris (2/5): - terrible all round
- John (2/5): - Checked in and checked out within half hr. Not cleaned..poo in toilet..flooded room and shower. DISCUSTING...seems luke a druggy hostel. Manager couldnt speak english and refused refund. Hoping to get one through Wotif...DO NOT STAY HERE
- Jess (10/5): - Max is a fantastic host. So friendly and very accommodating.
- Ben (6/5): - Really lovely owners.
- Adam (4/5): - The images of the property published on the website weren't an accurate reflection of the current day condition of the property.
- Karly (2/5): - Arrived at this so called “motel” which is actually a halfway house of permanent residents which are homeless, alcoholics and drug addicts.
Saw my so called room which had stained blood on pillow case and cockroaches on walls.
A lovely homeless lady came to me as no one attending at reception and said it is not safe to stay there.
I rang the mobile number on door requesting a refund to be laughed at and hung up on.
DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE IT IS DESPICABLE.
- Ian (10/5): - Fitted in with the odd hours i needed
- Andrew (2/5): - This motel is used by A charity to house homeless people with one room kept for accommodation for travellers.THE MANAGER OF MOTEL WAS EXTREMELY WONDERFUL,HELPFUL VERY CUTIOUS.We moved 0700 the next morning due to swearing, yelling,smoking,people walking around all night.
- Helena (2/5): - Very run down. Dirty place. The AC wasn’t working. The “new” key “ only opened the door if you stood on one leg and wiggled the key in a certain way. I found that out after being locked out of my room for half an hour while the owners left to go “shopping”.
The bed smelt awful and was like a hammock with what used to be pillows. The towels were very old, smelly and felt wet. The bathroom door was very hard to slide and was falling apart. The fly screen had a fist sized hole in it. The fridge wasn’t turned on, which I didn’t realise until the next day when everything I had in there was warm. The TV was almost smaller than my iPad. There were random undesirables walking through the grounds, knocking on doors. The walls were soo thin I was woken up at 3am by next door’s visitors arrived and talked for hours. The smoke detector was not working and without a cover but it did have a sticker on it stating it was inoperable. There was none of the normal stuff like shampoo/conditioner or the little things you normally get. The water pressure in the shower, well there wasn’t any really and the taps were so fiddly, one millimetre either side of perfect and the water was cold or scorching hot.
There was no QR code, or check in, anywhere and no hand sanitiser. I found hair in the bed! I felt dirty just being there. It was the kind of place that should be rented by the hour.
- Steven (6/5): - Everything was ok
- Sharon (8/5): - The people who owned this place were lovely ..................
- Verified traveler (6/5): - No hot water either last night or this morning. Lucky I work in an office and not on a construction site.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location, very friendly staff. It would greatly benefit from upgrading the infrastructure and fittings.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Lovely and clean but sadly very shabby, it is an older motel but we had broken lampshades, chairs with cracked upholstery covered in chair covers that didn’t stay on, If we hadn’t paid for room beforehand we wouldn’t have stayed
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff were friendly. Beds were comfortable. Room was clean bathroom was clean
I would stay here again
- Verified traveler (4/5): - We didnt like hair on the pillows, obviously the pillow cases were not changed.
The Air con didnt work untill we complained about it.
We asked for a room with two beds, and they gave us a room with one bed until we complained.
doubt if we will ever go there again.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The room was dirty the bed dirty and broken the shower was dirty there was blood on the bottom of the curtains and when we told the owner he went off control so we got in our car at 10pm and left the owner was frowning he body all over the bed under the bed the bass was broken in the middle of the bed was sitting on the ground me and my wife had bugs crawling on us I would never advise people or go there and I wo like my money back please
- Peter (8/5): property needs work - the propieters were very helpful and very friendly.the property is a bit run down.needs some work done in certain areas.very handy to shops and eastland shopping centre.bus stop near by.room was clean.room not serviced every day.handy to tour yarra valley and dandenongs.
- Ash (2/5): - I know you get what you pay for. But this was by far the worst customer services I have ever seen. There are much better options with the same price in the area.
- V (8/5): - Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Good television for watching the footy. It was a good night's stopover.
- Kurt (4/5): Big disappointment in Ringwood! - Very disappointing. At least the sheets were clean but the room itself was not.....dirty tiles in bathroom and dirty bedhead where the ‘imprint’ of previous heads was visible. Lumpy pillows! Way overpriced in comparison to other motels. A far cry from the beautiful little motel it used to be!
- Nathan (10/5): Great motel, close to shops, and take away stores. - Me & a mate stayed for 1 night. Its an older motel but was up to my standards. With great staff, clean comfortable rooms, i would highly recommend this motel. Thanks for a great stay.
- Neville (8/5): Quite a quiet Christmas stay - Excellent position for our needs. Our unit was well back from the road so was nice & quiet. Max & Nancy were friendly and helpful hosts and even gave us a Christmas card!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - hotel was old but clean breakfast was dissapointing
- Verified traveler (6/5): You get what you pay for. - The motel is appointed well, in a good spot and easy to get to. I was left very unimpressed and look we we're to blame. It was 10.15 and I think check out was 10am. My partner was in the shower and I was sitting on the bed, the door knocked and then someone opened the door and yelled out you need to check out. A polite knock on the door, stating you have 10mins to check out would have been much more appropriate. I understand we should have been checked out but they could have handled the situation better.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good location and friendly staff - Just an overnight stay at short notice and we have stayed here before, so knew it was comfortable and reasonably priced
- ches (2/5): - Smelly room
Terrible check in
would never stay again
- Verified traveler (6/5): Bit disappointed - We didn't get a double and single bed as requested. The proprietor was very nice and apologetic and gave us a foldabed. Unfortunately there was sand on the sheets of the foldabed. Probably wouldn't stay there again.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Nothing positive I can say except that it was close to where I need to be, the whole place is in need of a big renovation.
Or should be listed as a very low budget motel, price for this is way over the top.
- Verified traveler (2/5): worst beds ever - very old and stained beds, ants in the rooms. This place is really run down all we needed was a bed for the night and they cant get that right
- Karen (6/5): - Not really wheelchair accessible
- Lana (6/5): Basic set up, but good for a cheap night - Staff were very friendly, rooms clean but dated. Good location as very central and easy to get an uber or taxi.
- Simon (6/5): Serviceable and convienent. - The motel suited my needs well. It was close to where I needed to be and easy to locate.
- James (2/5): guilty of misleading advertising - room less than basic; furniture tired, rundown; client not expected despite being booked and paid up week in advance. Not collected as requested; no attempt to make amends; telephone out of order (apparently more that three months0; no microwave; no shared kitchen; only kitchen utensils were two teaspoons; the glasses 9only two) had not been washed and cleaned for many a month. What more do you need?
- Lou (8/5): - Facilities: Typical; Value: Acceptable price; Service: Courteous; Cleanliness: Pleasant;
- Frances (6/5): Just a motel - IT was rather cramped as I walk with a walker. I was not able to use the shower as there were not any bars in it
- Daryl (4/5): - Facilities: Shabby, Run-down; Value: Excessive, Exorbitant, Rip-off; Service: Below average; Cleanliness: Smelly, Grubby;
Even the biscuits were broken
- pamela (6/5): -
- paul (4/5): Ringwood Motel - room not very clean, bathroom poor eg blocked washbasin only cleaned when complaint made, decoration required in bathroom and bedroom furniture very chipped knocked about TV reception appalling and very bad value value for money
- georgi girl (4/5): Suited our purpose but would not go again sorry - The motel was clean if you don't count the dust and that closed in smell. The door adjoining the two rooms made it helpful listening in to a stranger's conversation and alerted us to when she fell over at 4 am in the morning after her big night out. Lucky we enjoy watching abc because that and sbs were the only TV stations available and hubby doesn't use a facecloth so we didn't have to share the one that was available. However, the guy working reception was friendly and I'm sure would have been helpful had I asked, but there are basics that should be a given
- Ian (8/5): -
Really handy location
- Kevin (6/5): - Facilities: Basic; Value: Acceptable price; Service: Basic; Cleanliness: Tidy;
- Simon (6/5): - Facilities: Tired; Value: Average price; Service: Polite; Cleanliness: Smelly;
- Neil (6/5): - Facilities: Tired, Old; Value: Acceptable price, Reasonable; Service: Friendly, Courteous; Cleanliness: Dirty, Lacking;
Whole unit needs a make over to bring it up to a reasonable standard
- Diane (4/5): - Facilities: Run-down, Bare minimum; Value: Exorbitant, Rip-off, Unreasonable;
The air conditioners where extremely loud when turned on. Had to turn off straight away. Also towel racks were lose and breaking off walk.
- Cliff (6/5): - Facilities: Shabby; Value: Reasonable; Service: Sloppy; Cleanliness: Lacking;
Would not stay again! Refund of overpayment still to be realized!!
