While most staff were absolutely lovely, my room had stab marks and slashes in the wall as well as smears of something red brown coloured on the walls as well as hairs still under the toilet seat and scum all over the shower, the mini fridge was disgusting and I had to pay a $200 deposit on a $122 dollar room that was putrid. And I honestly feel this review is generous and forgiving.

The room and bathroom were clean and spacious. Both in need of a revamp, but not a consideration for not staying. Receptionist was fantastic. Extremely hospitable and accommodating. Good value but a lot of street noise. Probably would stay again.

A very average motel in need of repairs. No towel rack in bathroom, slope of bathroom meant water ran out into living area. Freezer in small fridge completely iced over taking up half of fridge space. Lamp shade in tatters, bedside table filthy and sticky. People allowed to smoke on balcony outside rooms so smoke constantly drifting in. On positive side, reception staff incredibly friendly and helpful, and rooms are cheap, and hotel convenient if you need to be in Footscray area. With new hospital opening around corner, some investment in upgrades would yield a quick return for sure.

The photos shown online do not match the reality of the property. The large reception and dining area are no longer used. Units are tired, especially bathrooms. No shower caddy or soap dish to put anything on. Was given a hairdryer when asked. Did some laundry which was very reasonably priced but room was very shabby. Staff at reception were excellent and always helpful. Footscray is an interesting ethnic area. Very close to central Melb and 20 min walk to train station. Quite different eating options. Well worth a try.
