My boyfriend and I were here during Easter Weekend and enjoyed our stay. The reception staff were quite friendly and the inn was a fairly easy drive into Melbourne CBD. The room was pretty basic, but clean and comfortable. Certainly not luxurious, but we weren't there to spend time hanging around the motor inn anyway. No noise from the road,... More

We arrived at the hotel to find the manager had cancelled our booking (without telling us) and they had no spare rooms. Luckily the guy on reception was helpful and found us another hotel to stay at for the night. Not a great start!! when we arrived back after being elsewhere for the night checked into room and it was... More

At AU$108 per night in December 2011 this was quite reasonable for Australia which is hideously expensive for Europeans and Americans at the time of writing. Our room was small but perfectly comfortable and clean, and equipped with a frdige, kettle and toaster, table and chairs (a microwave would have been a boon). We didn't bother with the breakfast which... More

My little brother & I stayed here in August 2011. It was great! We only needed a place to sleep, and we got that and more. We're mad Bomber's fans (the main reason I booked this hotel), and went for a walk to Windy Hill 4 or 5 times in the 7 nights/days we were there. We didn't use the... More

My husband, brother and I stayed for a week. There were no drawers in the upstairs bedrooms so had to leave our clothes in our suitcases which wouldn't fit in the wardrobes. No space on either side of the bed. Overall everything was clean but we had to ask for clean sheets. The tiles on the kitchen floor need a... More

When I first checked in to the Best WEstern I thought it was a bit run down and was pretty basic. In some parts the paint was peeling from the walls, the decor was a bit dated, and there was a hole in the bathroom covered up with tape. But after a little while in the room you realise that... More
