Shortage of supplies

Very short supply of T bags and milk. Lack of shower curtain made bathroom messy. Didn’t think $50 holding fee necessary especially with 5-7 days to be reimbursed.

The room was relatively neat and tidy. However it did not have a microwave despite saying it would on the website, I couldn’t access any apps on the TV, and the shower head fell off the wall when I tried lifting it. I called reception (who again didn’t answer) and left a message to this effect, however did not get a call back. I repeatedly called the restaurant to order room service but no one answered and had to ask reception to call them. Luckily I was checking out the following day as I would definitely want another room with amenities that I paid for.

The room was neat, tidy, and modern, offering a great view from the window. Its proximity to public transport and being just a short distance from the city made it very convenient. However, I was not informed about ongoing renovations prior to my stay. That said, the pool and newly renovated areas looked fantastic. One area for improvement would be the front entrance—if it were renovated for better accessibility, it would significantly enhance the property's overall presentation and make it more inviting.

The property doesn’t hide the fact that it is under renovation but given the impact of the renovations, it really is over priced. The bathroom was mouldy and badly cleaned. This isn’t acceptable at the price they charged. My night’s sleep was badly disturbed by the air conditioner making a huge amount of noise at 3am which really alarmed me. I had to turn it off and of course it took ages to get back to sleep. Very disappointing experience and not recommended.

What once was a classic motel is undergoing renovations. Our double bed was to 3/4 singles pushed together. Fell thru the crack and my feet off the end of bed. Horrible stains on carpet. Worst thing was the air con from adjacent room shuddered on every ten minutes. It was hell. Maybe in a year it will be transformed. Seems to be a halfway house now.

Home away from home

I adore that there is always someone on the front desk. If you're late it's no problem. Fantastic hotel with a pool the kids love. I have stayed multiple times this summer. It's affordable and not ridiculous pricing like the rest of Melbourne.

As per normal - the photos look way better than the actual room and facilities. The other guests near us were extremely disrespectful and noisy. You can hear everything up the hall way and slamming doors. There is no microwave or toaster. No plates or bowls. Only 2 cups and 2 glasses. The outside area was not clean. I would not recommend this stay for children. We asked for a room swap due to noise and the staff were not helpful at all, offering no solution. The location was good. Close to the zoo and park, but I’d never stay here again.

Disappointing return stay

We had stayed here before and the previous stay was great. Unfortunately this time was disappointing. We arrived to our room to find it had a very overwhelming cigarette smell and cigarette burns through out the carpet. I brought this up to reception and they changed us to another room. The second room was better than the first but still had a lot of faults. There was black mould in the bathroom. There were stains on the walls. The door had been removed from the shower so the entire bathroom got wet when using the shower. The smoke alarm was hanging from the roof and would beep every 3 or 4 minutes. I had staff cone snd look at this, the reattached it to the ceiling and put a battery in it to make it work. Unfortunately now it would go off randomly every few hours until i pressed the reset button. So it would wake us a few times each night. The entire motel was being renovated. There was no mention of this when we booked the room but there was posters up throughout the motel explaining this. We weren't prepared for the powertool and excavation noises every day from 9am to 5pm. The room did not look like the photos. I assume the photos were ove the renovated rooms and we were in a room that was tet to be updated. Location was great and i would stay here again but not until the renovations were completed. I have photos of the defects in the room, like the mould etc but the app ADD A PHOTO button is not working so i can't add them.
