Very old and worn looking. The bed and bathroom were clean. The couch had a towel over it as the cushions were old and worn. Inexpensive and clean, but overall disappointed and would not stay there again if I returned to Melbourne.

I had 4 nights at the motel and it was perfect for my needs and exactly what I expected. It is a great location in terms of being able to walk to Abbotsford, Richmond, Collingwood or Fitzroy pubs. The bed was good and the bathroom was fine. Not a place I'd bring my wife but perfect for a bloke having a few nights in town.

Last visit ever.

Well. Where to start. I have stayed at this location for a number of years and watched it decline with each visit. What started as a good value for money convenient location has turned into a grotty venue that you want to clean first before using. Air con hasn’t worked the last two times I stayed. I went and bought an air freshener for the room as it smelt of cigarettes and dirty bathroom. It now looks like they have half way house residents and on this my final stay here had a domestic violence incident with someone ramming the front door with a shopping trolley to get in. This place needs to be closed for a good clean and refurb. In a great location but vile condition.

I looked for a cheap motel in a decent location but it could have been cheaper. The room was awful. Burn hole in the duvet, old, worn out, quite dirty bathroom. Unfriendly staff. Blue paint on the ceiling, a domestic incident on stairwell in middle of night. Didn’t feel safe. No cleaning during the stay- shouldn’t it be an expectation that towels are changed and basic cleaning done daily? Maybe not for the price. I wouldn’t advise anyone to stay here.

The property is conveniently located just off Hoddle St. I was provided early check in which was great. The bed was comfort and made well. Good stuff stops there for this 3 Star accomodation. The room had a terrible smell which made me ill. The bathroom was in poor condition and the shower appeared particularly dirty. The paint job in the room made it seem much worse than it perhaps truly is. The live band played till midnight Saturday - pack your ear plugs if you’re not joining the fun!

Despite this property showing its age, and it would appear in the process of upgrading it was clean and tidy. If you are just after a room for a couple nights fits the bill. The hotel on the corner great for a quick meal and mcds just around corner good for quick coffee

Stated that you have breakfast included , but when asked they offered dry bread slices and milk. Pillows is so hard to sleep on and the overall cleanliness is bad. Although not that expensive not going back again.
