This is the worst place we have ever been in - only stayed because couldnt get in anywhere else at short notice. Filthy (although linen appeared clean) floor, mould everywhere, no appliances, except inadequate tiny oil filled heater, we stayed in winter. No airconditioning. No lift to upper floors - should be shut down. Owner/manager only too eager to take... More

Dirty, mouldy bathroom with used soap from previous occuptants still in shower. Bathroom sink and toilet also not clean enough. Carpet was disgusting (lucky I had slippers to wear ). Found someone elses discarded underwear still on the floor beside the bed and for $95 per night what a rip-off. Staying at this motel spoilt our trip to Melbourne. Stay... More

Unhygenic, dirty toilet, dirty kettle, no replacement of linen or towels, smells of mould, cold because windows are not sealed, it is an absolute rip off at $100 per... More

When we found it we opened the door to find a spider hanging over the bed, It was four degrees in melbourne and think it was below 0 in... More

DON’T STAY THERE . . .We stayed for the one night, and it was the dirtiest smelliest motel we had seen. We both contracted “SCABIES” from this motel and I still have weeping sores and scares on my legs nearly 3 months later. The first room we got had no A/C and the door didn’t open or close properly so... More

Rooms were basic but tidy, not the cleanest but have seen worse. However we booked for two rooms on NYE. As it was under one booking they fluffed it up and only reserved one room. That left 2 couples and one queen bed. They refunded second room and half cost of first room but that didn't solve the problem of... More
