A good, honest place to stay. Not fancy, but well cared for by good staff.
The off-street parking and easy access to trams and trains is a big winner.

Always get a very decent bed and shower here at a very reasonable price, with a tram out the front door, rail only minutes away, and the restaurants of Footscray.

This property seems caught in the 1979's. The welcome at the front desk was warm. The one-bedroomed apartment had limited parking. The apartment was comfortable with a large bed in the bedroom and smaller bed in the lounge. There were facilities to make your own breakfast. The bathroom was quite basic with a floor which needed a steam clean. The shower was surprisingly good but the water drained away very slowly. All-in-all a comfortable stay with prices that don't match the amenities.

The price is good value, check in was simple and the room itself was fine. Nothing amazing but decent for a short stay. Would say the area is not the nicest or quietest though.
