Room reasonable but could certainly do with some maintenance and upkeep to make it present better and more enjoyable to stay, was noisy at times with people coming and going at all hours of the night, hotel was in a convenient location for my requirements.

Wont stay again
i stayed on my own and i personally wouldnt do it again. There is a guy who lives on the premises decided to have a few drinks and decided to pump his music pumping... each to there own. But not at 1-2 in morning.
Check in was long. No one in reception took roughly 3-6 rings and a voicemail for a call back. Location is good.

Was contacted before arrival as we were to be a late check in, and the guy was friendly, which was great. Arrived to find a dirty bathroom, an inch of green mould covered the entire shower floor, there was something splashed all up the walls in the kitchen area, the heater is held together with sticky tape, dirty coffee rings on cabinets. I rang to let the manager know and his response was ‘oh yeah - that room needs a renovation’ to which I responded ‘no, it needs a CLEAN’ and pointed out a good scrub would get rid of the problem. He just repeated it needed a renovation and offered no solution, no room alternative, no refund, nothing.
Sheets on the bed were clean thank goodness

When i booked it said 2pm Check in. I was on a work trip and was arriving at 1pm. So i sent a email 24 hours in advance asking for a early checkin. We all know we can work something out, even if it means agreeing to put a key somewhere. When i arrived the Caretaker responded to phone 2pm check in, nothing positive as a welcome and when i explained I emailed for a early check in or a arrangement and got no reply the caretaker/owner admitted to not checking emails.
The room is cosy enough, for me the bed was great, the shower was terrific.
The carpet floors need a make over but Meh, i wasnt licking them or rolling around playing with kids so no biggie.
The TV was absoloutley useless. But i wasnt there to watch tv so it didnt bother too much but the tvs have 404 channels with only metro melbourne stations really available and even some of them channels only have Audio available no images.
It needs a tv guru to go through every room or through the main program and block the channels the guests wont see anything on so they can navigate through the 9 or so channels they have a choice of
Also on my check out day the cleaner said ‘hello’ then attempted to come in at just before 9am - i was in my underpants on my bed. Lucky i had my chain link on. They should be waiting until 10am checkout or until i hand my key back. The only reason i had the chain link on was because some of the other guests looked dodgy.

The main door have big gaps so the smell from the outside are coming all the time especially the smoking smell. When we first arrived & open the door, the room smells cigarette and it never went away. For non smoker guests, we feels sick & annoyed due to the smells

Called landline for check in as property was unmanned. Was told to wait for a call back... so polite! Text message told me to enter room 3 and found Homeless man was in the bed.... told to go to other room, power point short circuited my phone charger.
Owner arrived 1 hour later kicking out squatters from other rooms threatening to kill them if they come back.
Crack heads next door kept me awake until 5am.
Worst $135 ever spent, Bus shelter is a better option!

Horrible. Sheets were dirty, no quilt, every inch of the room was filthy. Body hair on sheets. Greasy floor obviously dirty, no staff at either check in or check out. At check in only a number to ring and we were told that the room was open and the key on the table. Totally unsafe for a mother and children, anyone off the street could have let themselves into the room. Pillowcases dirty, shelves and drawers unusable as broken. Will be contacting consumer affairs to escalate this matter further !

No clear communication about how to access the room. Sent messages via the Expedia app and didn't get a reply so had to call. They answered and provided direction which was good, I was just nervous about being able to get in because we were doing a long drive and would be arriving pretty late.
The room offered a stove top for cooking (which is why we booked it, we wanted self contained) but there was nothing to cook with (pots and pans) so we were unable to use it and had to buy food out, not ideal - this shouldn't be advertised as a feature of the room if it cannot be used.
The door needs to be shut firmly at night and dead bolted - ours blew open in the middle of the night due to the wind outside.
Otherwise, good location near a main street, a little further out from where we wanted to be but was cheap.

I would not stay there. No reception our keys were in room with door unlocked. A creepy guy followed us to our room and was talking outside our door. The rooms smelled. Very horrible experience. If I could give 0 stars I would. Should not be listed on wotif,

This motel is nothing like what’s on the website. Somebody’s been cooking drugs in the rooms. People coming and going non-stop. The rooms are nothing like what’s in the photos. Bed smell like people have pissed on them. Manager is rude. Can only be contacted by phone. Doesn’t have the guts to face people Just takes their money and laughs.
I have reported to the police and local council unfit to stay in

Close but no cigar… just cigarettes
The room itself aesthetically nice but the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke was too much. From one night my clothes smelled of smoke when I left.
The bed was comfortable, easy check in and accommodating for those arriving after hours.

A Motel NOT to stay at.
no coat hangers in robe, pillows hard and no extras, TV remote would not turn the TV off, had to switch off at power point, kitchen light did not work, fridge had a piece of wood under the front which made it rock, no plug for the vanity basin, water pooled on the bathroom floor due to a leak from the P Trap connection with the toilet ( Not Healthy).
