Great location and very very cheap! Mattress was also very comfortable! And staff were very nice. Also some people said parking was for small cars. I parked my Toyota LandCruiser in there no problem so not sure what they were on about!

Look I'll be honest it's an older style motel and the room did have a little cigarette smell. But you get used to it after a couple minutes and I mean what do you expect when your getting accommodation so cheap.

My husband and I came down for a concert at the MCG. The location was great, 15-20 min walk from the MCG. Bus stop right on the corner across from the hotel on the main road Hoddle st. 5 bus stops and it dropped us right off at the side entrance to the MCG. Food outlets near by. Pub right next door to the hotel, where you can get food and drinks. The room was exceptional very clean, bed very comfy, size of room not too small. My husband actually made a comment about how good the shower was, and it didn’t turn cold on him. We didn’t have the breakfast as we left early, but it looked nice a continental breakfast with cereal etc. Very secure car parking.

The only thing I can say is the parking spots are a little tight. We own a ford xr8 it just fitted into a parking spot. We found if you were able to reverse into the parking spot it was easier to manoeuvre in and out.

Location was excellent, walking distance to cafes. The bed was very comfortable and appreciated breakfast being supplied.

It was an old building and could use an up date. Green and blue painted walls, not very inviting.

Easy check in and friendly staff helped to carry my bag downstairs upon checking out. Room was clean and tidy and bed was comfy! Room was small but had everything I needed. Location was very convenient and within walking distance to where I needed to go plus restaurants, grocery store near by. Will come back to stay again in the future!

Great location to the MCG which was the main purpose of our trip - walking distance. Close to the tram line so easy to get into the City. Only $58 oober from the airport. Really affordable for such a great location

Our room was really dusty. We were in room 6 which was right near the stairs so abit noisey at night while trying to sleep but not a major issue at all

I didn't know it was upstairs with no lift, so staff carried my walker and luggage upstairs and downstairs for me. Very friendly and helpful. A short walk from public transport. I'm disabled and walking longer than 10 minutes is very challenging but I managed it fine.

The stairs. I don't recommend for people in wheelchair or unable to use stairs.

The room was basic but with everything you need. It was clean, the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water in the shower. The motel is close to shops, bars and restaurants and close to the train into the town center.
