The room was neat, tidy, and modern, offering a great view from the window. Its proximity to public transport and being just a short distance from the city made it very convenient. However, I was not informed about ongoing renovations prior to my stay. That said, the pool and newly renovated areas looked fantastic.
One area for improvement would be the front entrance—if it were renovated for better accessibility, it would significantly enhance the property's overall presentation and make it more inviting.
Old premises undergoing a face lift very old bathrooms comfortable beds. Patchy service, great public transport. OMG all doors slam making trying to sleep impossible as all doors slam loudly as people go about their day. Enjoyed the pool.
I adore that there is always someone on the front desk. If you're late it's no problem. Fantastic hotel with a pool the kids love. I have stayed multiple times this summer. It's affordable and not ridiculous pricing like the rest of Melbourne.
Only downfall was cleanliness of bath and shower… mould all around bottom of shower screen and top edge of bath… kinda yuck to look at when having a bath…

As per normal - the photos look way better than the actual room and facilities. The other guests near us were extremely disrespectful and noisy. You can hear everything up the hall way and slamming doors. There is no microwave or toaster. No plates or bowls. Only 2 cups and 2 glasses. The outside area was not clean. I would not recommend this stay for children. We asked for a room swap due to noise and the staff were not helpful at all, offering no solution. The location was good. Close to the zoo and park, but I’d never stay here again.

Being renovated and therefore expensive for its general condition
We had stayed here before and the previous stay was great. Unfortunately this time was disappointing.
We arrived to our room to find it had a very overwhelming cigarette smell and cigarette burns through out the carpet.
I brought this up to reception and they changed us to another room. The second room was better than the first but still had a lot of faults. There was black mould in the bathroom. There were stains on the walls. The door had been removed from the shower so the entire bathroom got wet when using the shower.
The smoke alarm was hanging from the roof and would beep every 3 or 4 minutes. I had staff cone snd look at this, the reattached it to the ceiling and put a battery in it to make it work. Unfortunately now it would go off randomly every few hours until i pressed the reset button. So it would wake us a few times each night.
The entire motel was being renovated. There was no mention of this when we booked the room but there was posters up throughout the motel explaining this. We weren't prepared for the powertool and excavation noises every day from 9am to 5pm.
The room did not look like the photos. I assume the photos were ove the renovated rooms and we were in a room that was tet to be updated.
Location was great and i would stay here again but not until the renovations were completed.
I have photos of the defects in the room, like the mould etc but the app ADD A PHOTO button is not working so i can't add them.
Customer service was excellent. Convenient location for 15 min walk to cafes and shops in Brunswick. Property undergoing renovation but did not impact us. Bathroom had a shower in bath so not good for elderly or those with mobility issues. This may change after reno. Easy parking.

They were doing some repair/renovation work during our stay which made the place look less attractive, but over all, a pleasant stay with helpful and accommodating staff.

The property is in major renovation, noise started 730am and on Saturday and sunday morning
The renovation was in room 220, I was room 218 so next door room
Drilling etc very very noisy
I reported this but hotel said because I booked thru Wotif then no partial refund!! So now I know when booking thru Wotif I don’t get normal service
Currently undergoing renovation. It is an old property that is run down and in need of maintenance. A lot of rubbish around the common areas and construction noise during the day.
The room was in a poor state of decor. You could hear all the noises from other rooms. Bed was 2 beds pushed together and as the floor was not carpet the beds moved across the floors. There was zero support in the bed.
