This place is in a very accessible place in Melbourne. I checked in just as kitchen was about to close, staff very friendly made atmosphere feel welcoming. They made sure I got a very delicious meal and delivered to room as I had, a big drive getting there. Room already had Aircon going and it’s was a warm evening so to walk in to an already cooled down room was heaven. I stayed two nights was very affordable and convenient for me.

I was very happy with the room and the person who checked us in was lovely.. the room looked good.. My only disappointment was the Wi-Fi service! It was truly literally inaccessible... Was one reason l booked the room here as l needed to be able to access details on my tablet, which l was unable to do! It cut out every 10 seconds would have to wait 30 seconds for it to sign back in to only cut out again straight away!
