The bedsite light did not work and I mentioned this to the young man on Sunday morning but nothing was done about it. Another lady on Saturday also complained that it wasn't working in her room. This is a very dangerous situation as it is very dark and having to stumble to the bathroom in the night could be catastrophic. I hope the guy realises the implications of an accident.

The entrance to reception was filthy. The lifts didn't work properly, the lights in the hallways were either not working or flickering. The rooms were dusty. We had booked 2 rooms and had the rooms split on different floors. The door locks were dodgy. The whole place felt like a death trap. We walked out, handed back the keys after asking for refund which obviously the declined. We ended up staying at the Victoria Hotel around the corner. It was clean, safe and the staff were incredile.

Would not recommend and I only leave this review to help others who are looking for a nice stay, and also so this motel can better its conditions for guests. It was plain dirty. There was dirt and grime around all bathroom shower toilet basin etc. the bathroom sink was coming looks from the wall which is quite dangerous. Mould around shower edges and bathroom sink. Dirty carpets in some spots. There was a dirty glass in the fridge. Only one tiny milk for two guests which meant only one of us got a morning coffee:(. The shower head was not adjustable and blasts out in one stream onto you like a jet hose- quite uncomfortable! One pillow on the bed had white yuck on it that looked like someone’s bodily fluid - we believe it was that. The whole motel was so tiny and stuffy like really warm and wet feeling. There was also two leaks in the roof which we popped the rubbish bin under and by morning it had filled over a litre of water. The air conditioning was leaking too which filled another container. Staff were quite short in speech not welcoming. Please fix the place up guys

Stayed in many hotels around the world rated 3 stars and in my opinion this hotel didn't even rate a 3. Noisey, dirty, run down, poor water pressure and overall not up to scratch. Wouldnt ever come back.

Room was dark, dingy, filthy with carpets not cleaned and eaten by little moths which were flying about all the time. Dare not leave my suitcase opened. Paid alot for this room too, equivalent to £100/- per night. There was no one at the reception to talk to. Building works were also going on all night and couldn't get to sleep. It was a nightmare and i didn't expect this in Melbourne. I will definitely not recommend this motel ti anyone. Please get it sorted. Very disappointed customers!!!

Pretty average really. For Melbourne I suppose $100/night is considered cheap, but I'd at least expect the toilet to be cleaned properly. The whole room was a bit rough. At least it was conveniently located.

Perfect location, room was average, comfortable enough, then I had a shower....... glass door and the base was clean, however the walls were disgusting. An ok stop for 1 night if its just to sleep and its cheaper on busy weekends.
