Bigger plates provided would be good. Having another chair would be good instead of sitting on bed as there was only one arm chair provided. Would be good if there was a small table in the room.

Room was clean and well presented. Didn't like the automatic check in, especially being asked to take a photo of the room code. (Assumes everyone has a suitable phone). Otherwise a comfortable stay.

This property is very dated, with no office nor any facilities.The outside of the buildings are very drab and somewhat depressing. However the room was clean & if all your looking for is a budget room with a clean bed this could be the place for you.

The room was clean but VERY SMALL and very basic without character. The fridge is defective and the shower needs washers - constant dripping. There is NO RECEPTION, only a screen in the wall. Therefore there is also no service.

Great stay, would recommend!

We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom newly renovated unit/apartment and it was great! We had everything we needed. In spite of the proximity to the main street it wasn’t noisy - we were there on a Sunday night. The people in reception.

Now, if you are looking for a bed and not much else, the Elm will fit the bill. It is a 3-3 1/2 star motel; it is clean and reasonably comfortable, but no thrills. If all is well, you will not see any staff at all. We did, because the security lock for our room was not working, and a staff member had to open it for us. The Motel signage is very poor: we arrived at night and initially drove straight past it. There is a crushed rock parking area, and it is right next to the main road into Bendigo, so it can be a bit noisy. There are basic tea and coffee making facilities, but nothing else; no brekky. As I say, for a bed for the night, it is OK, but don't expect a luxury room and location.
