Guest Reviews
- Brett (4/5): -
- Mac (3/5): -
- Margaret (1/5): absolutely terrible - nothing This was the worst experience I've ever had. We were booked in for several days but left early the next morning after checking. We would have gone the night before if we could but it was late. The place was smelly, filthy, holes in the walls. The smell was actually quite sickening. We felt unsafe. We left without telling anyone in reception as we didn't feel safe.
- Rebecca (9/5): -
- Nathan (4/5): Never again - Nothing Not very safe
- JamesD (8/5): Smoke detector - Comfy bed Someone had covered the smoke detector, the room smelled of cigarette when I first opened the door. Nobody had removed whatever covered the smoke detector before my stay. I almost lost the bond.
- Skippings (2/5): Very average, wouldn't stay here again. - The location was good, near shops and takeaways.
There waere bus and trams lines near by.
the price was low, but we got less than what we paid for. The building was very old and run down, i't didn't look like the photos online at all.
The room smelled like cigarette smoke and also old and musty.
The bathroom had mould and the shower head was low.
The beds were ok.
- James (1/5): Consumer beware! Don’t risk your safety, and don’t waste your money. - We thought we were getting a good deal, did not realise how rough the area truly was until we arrived. Surrounded by three derelict properties and looked to be a drug deal taking place out the front. In all honesty this accomodation looked like it should also be condemned!
- Alexandra Anna (7/5): -
- Olimba (8/5): - The venue The early checked out
- Richard (4/5): Not happy - Tv didn’t work bathroom not up to standard dirty
- Daiana (1/5): Dirty, very weird place and weird people surrounding. - Nothing Awful place, dirty, the bathroom dirty, the sheets from the double bed had a hole, carpet dirty and the shower. There was no extra towels, we was 3 persons and it was only 2. Shower and sink from bathroom both with water doesn’t running.
- Aparajita (3/5): Not recommended unless you’re desperate. Expensive but not worth it. - They take a late arrival fee which wasn’t included on their website. The atmosphere feels unsafe and not family friendly. Drunk people fight there so ground floor rooms feel really unsafe.
- Vanessa (2/5): -
- Land (6/5): Amazing customer service but motel needs some work - I liked how big and spacious the room was, motel was easy to find. The motel had very lovely staff and was amazing with us needing changes to our late check-outs. Walls wasn't clean, fridge leaked water on the tiles over night, the taps in the shower almost falling off, we had the guy across the hall yelling, banging at odd times throughout the night in the hall.
- Leanne (6/5): -
- Zachary (1/5): -
- Anne (8/5): Great location very comfortable - No breakfast Exterior shabby interior very clean and comfortable noisy due to traffic
- Trent (1/5): - Location Smell and dirty
- Gilbert (5/5): -
- Lauchlan (7/5): -
- Jade (8/5): -
- Gail (7/5): Very good location for our needs. - The staff were very lovely It was far more rundown than expected. They tried very hard to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Don’t get your hopes up with regard to the facilities but the beds were clean and comfortable.
- Marcus (5/5): -
- Kevin (2/5): Very poor - Very old and cleanliness is veryt poor noone has cleaned a door or window sill in months if not year clenliness and hygine in shower very poor
- Orlina (2/5): Not good. I booked the 2 bedroom combined with kitchen but didn’t get what I wanted for. - The room needs renovation Nothing
- Daniel (8/5): - Close easy check in. Easy going staff Not enough towels or tea bags and sugar
- Brooke (5/5): Reasonable. - Location Need a major upgrade. Definitely wasn’t what was pictured.
- Brendan (1/5): Worst motel I've ever been to. - The price and the location Mould in the shower, we didn't get any new towels, had to use the same towels for 4 days, really uncomfortable mattress, the tv barely works some channels have no visual, no smart tv 😕, the staff are rude and loud we were trying to sleep and the staff and their kids were making noise around midnight, they charged us a $100 bond which is ridiculous, the staff was parked in our spot, the driveway is extremely narrow, the shower handle was broken for cold water room 1, there's no iron in the room for your clothes, the microwave is in the fricken bathroom which is disgusting.
- Daniel (5/5): An adequate spot to stay if travelling on a budget. - The girl at reception was very nice and helpful and the beds were very comfortable. Broken windows and a lack of any cleaning equipment.
- Nick (8/5): Not bad - Not applicable The tv and road noise
- H (1/5): I would’ve rather slept in my car. - Nothing The room was putrid, it had marks all over the walls used
C*ndoms under the bed, sticky remotes, couches was stained. Toilet was disgusting
- Sophie (6/5): -
- George (8/5): -
- Brianna (1/5): Do not stay here - Nothing The room stunk of mould and cigarettes. There was mould on the chairs and walls, it was shocking. I had to leave after one night as I couldn’t breathe
- Eve (7/5): - Too much noise
- Grant (3/5): - Room was sme Room was smelly like urine. Bed was uncomfortable. Couldn't get Bond back before 9am
- Damien (8/5): - The room was spacious and clean. New bathroom and furnishings. A little bit noisy with the trams at night
- Liam (3/5): - The room was quiet small and that's all I wanted as I was the only one staying here, the bathroom was pretty small too but the shower was huge with good running water. The room was quite dark with not much sunlight going into the windows. It would be nice if the TV was working. I had an issue with it getting it work. I might reconsider on staying elsewhere from now on.
- Tara (2/5): -
- Aryendu (6/5): -
- Steve (4/5): It’s a shit show - Room waa ok Noisy.
The outside & yard is unkept, untidy & filthy. It would be easy to take some pride in the appearance.
- David (10/5): -
- Melissa (1/5): Didn’t stay place was horrible - Nothing didn’t end up staying there Everything it is horrible
- Greenhill (10/5): -
- nicole (1/5): - Nothing it is a drug den All of it is disgusting
- Laura (1/5): Gross and unsafe. - Nothing. This was the most DISGRACEFUL and DISGUSTING place I have ever stayed. We literally feared for our life during the night with people in adjoining rooms making loud noises and coming and going all night and our door didn’t close fully. There was black mould all over the room and electrical wires sticking out of the wall above the children’s bed. We got incredibly sick from this stay and asked for a refund but got denied - we were booked in for two nights and left early and slept in our car instead on the second night. We got that night refunded due to requesting early but they have refused to give our money back for the first night. We have doctor bills to pay now and long term health concerns. The night number for staff doesn’t work and I had to approach guests myself down the hall who were having a party (on a weekday night!). There was food and rubbish on the floor when we arrived and writing on the walls!

- Gregandrose (8/5): Very good -
- Daniel (8/5): Very good - Good location
- John (4/5): Disappointing - very noisy fellow guests yelling and calling out all night. Facility looks run down on the outside and clients seem to treat it accordingly noisy and disruptive other guests
- Anthony (2/5): Very bad experience won’t be back - Very run down property car park was not clean wouldn’t recommend for a person who is disabled as the parking area was very bad and steps into the room and shower shower had mould in there definitely not for disabled people properly needs a major renovations no eating tables only one chair bed was hard service was very poor rubbish was left in back of car park
- Vukovic (1/5): Bad - I wouldnt stay there again room was horrible
- Solar (3/5): Poor - Room was clean Aircon was good Very run down
- Christopher (1/5): Terrible. - Permanent resident staying at the motel was very unstable. Yelling, screaming, swearing and threatening passer bys with acts of violence. My son was very scared. We booked for 2 nights but only stayed 1.
- Matt (2/5): - The place was dirty, run down, damaged, felt unsafe. Wouldn't let my dog stay overnight here, told the reception it is well below acceptable standard but they refused to give a refund. Avoid.
- Raff (7/5): Good -
- Verified traveler (10/5): nice and homoey - nice and comfortable.. great showers! and roomy
- Stephen (1/5): Bad - The location The difference between the advertised room and the actual room. We had paid for the room (booking requirement), walked in, saw how bad it was, walked out, handed the key back and left.
- Jan (8/5): Very good -
- Stavros (5/5): We won't stay there again. The worst Motel we have stayed in. - NA The room needs a revamp, it was dusty, carpet stained, and shower had mould. Definitely paid for what we stayed in, great location a pity the furnishings are past their use by date.
- Teddy (1/5): I felt dirty like ewww , be careful what you touch. Never again will i put up with this again. - This whole building is so run down inside and out. I took so many photos for all to see. Behind the microwave, there was left over food. The oven has not been cleaned in so long, there is white Mould growing in it. The lounge suites looked they were taking off the nature strip where people put hard rubbish on. The were so soaked stained, they just covered them with couch blankets. We looked under the couch cushions and there was food waste underneath. The dining chairs, we had three different varieties at the eating table. I'm sure some were taken from hard rubbish, some had stains on them. The walls have not been cleaned in years, they were so grotty and dirty, they need cleaning and painting. There were holes in the walls that were not covered too well and you could see the outside of the building through these holes. They truly looked like they are never cleaned at all. I now have doubts that the beds are changed often. Some of the windows where old air conditioners once were are now covered with cardboard & duct tape in three rooms. The outside of the building is so run down and derelict. Some of the tenants we spoke to were permanent residents who couldn't afford anything else. The whole place needs pulling down. It is unfit for human occupancy at this current moment and for $305.00 for one night as a family room, it was unfit for my family and we all didn't sleep to well because of the state of the building. In my bedroom i actually slept on top of the sheets and blankets that's how i felt. I wasn't game to get in the bed. BOOKING.COM should stop promoting this property immediately and they clearly should look at what they are promoting. If the health department saw this, they would shut it down. Main electrical wires from the upstairs level coming out of the building on a homemade pole, ran it across the drive in the air, to the neighboring house and into the roof tiles and connected their.

- Christelle (10/5): - I locked myself out and reception opened for me in the middle of the night.
- Trevor (4/5): It was all right for a boys w/e away - Out dated decor needs painting in side
- Chris (6/5): Pleasant -
- Ben (1/5): Most disappointing motel/hotel I have ever stayed in. Felt extremely unsafe. - Sorry but very little at all about the property. Location was the only positive. Dirty rooms, looked run down, leaking fridge, homeless living in cars in the car park, massive fight at night between two other tenants (language and physical confrontation scared my kids), bathroom was dirty, broken tap in shower, felt extremely unsafe and was refused a refund when I wanted to leave on the first night.
- Mervyn (1/5): Bad -
- Liz (1/5): Bad -
- Joyanne (8/5): Very good -
- Robert (6/5): Pleasant - Large room Room equipment in poor condition
- Anuradha (6/5): Pleasant -
- Kerri (5/5): Passable -
- Marcus (4/5): Clean but run down. - It was clean. Good water pressure. the airconditioning worked. It had a fridge and microwave. Very run down building. Its car park across the road was a rubbish dump full of old matresses and junk. The door was very difficult to get into. The carpet of the room was old and stained. I had to put down a $100 deposit against any damage to the room which I thought was a bit of a joke considering the state of the place.
- Christopher (6/5): Pleasant - Clean inside the unit and well equipped. Exterior was a rubbish yard ( the car park) Shady characters around but moved on when I come fronted him.
Outside of reception needed a lot of work it looked abandoned. Your sign hasn't been updated or maintained. Pity as once inside all good. Still waiting for my $100 bond to be returned
- Melisa (9/5): Superb - Helpful and accommodating staff.
- Rachael (2/5): Super gross - Close to where we needed to be Was one of the dirtiest places I’ve ever stayed
- Kat (3/5): Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. - Wouldn’t recommend for families. Not suitable to even be listed as accommodation on booking.com. Very run down and very loud due to traffic. We would have left to find elsewhere if it wasn’t so late on arrival.
- Lily (1/5): I would not recommend, even a short stay at Melbourne - Nothing I felt very unsafe at the property, the door didn’t lock properly and none of the lights work.
- Nikki (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jodi (5/5): Passable - The staff were lovely The room smelt like smoke. The facilities were very old but it was clean
- Elif (5/5): privacy issue - i liked that the room was spacious even when the curtain is fully closed there is an opening you can see through the gap because of the air conditioning at the top of the door it was up against the curtain so it was holding the curtain a bit open so we had to move the couch against the curtain Just to keep it completely closed.
- Douglas (4/5): I was not expecting much for the price but the noisy air-conditioning and the leaking sky light wer - Breakfast was not an option The air-conditioning was very loud so could not be left on at night as you could not sleep due to the noise and sky light above the shower leaked when it was raining.
- Robert (1/5): not worth reviewing - Shower had mould over the tiles. Benches had cigarette burn markes and permanent staines. no remote for TV VERY BASIC ACCOMADATION Room 3 !
- White (7/5): Good - Comfortable and clean. Good value for money. Close to amenities. Traffic noise was loud.
- Kosala (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephen (8/5): Very good -
- Chris (4/5): Very old building needs renovation - Wifi was not working
- Cheryl (2/5): Very poor -
- Sarah (5/5): Passable -
