Facilities like shower & toilet very run down. It took ages for me to get luke war water to take a shower. Staff charged me $30 parking fee because I booked with Expedia & not directly with the hotel. Complaint made to Expedia whom refunded the parking fee. I will never go back to Carlton Lodge again.

Staff were great, we were in the room overlooking the street and we found it too noisy from the live music in the restaurant nest door and too many cars with loud exhaust systems. And motorcycles. The hotel was convenient for our needs, short walk to trams. It also would have been nice to have clothes storage so we had to live out of our luggage bags for our six night stay.

Change of owners

We have been staying at this motel for many years when we travel to Melbourne. It has always been incredible with large rooms with kitchenetes. HOWEVER, this time there has been a change of owner and the rooms are small and cramped. Where parking used to be free you are now charged $30 per day which increases the amount paid for the room. We will not return again.

I loved staying here. It's close to the University and plenty of dining choices and the staff are really lovely and accomodating. They really took care of me. Wotif on the other hand are a terrible site. They over booked and didn't send through my booking to the Lygon Lodge, though they charged me and it was only through the help of the hotel staff I was able to get a room. I will never use Wotif again and I would strongly recommend to my colleagues, friends and family to never use Wotif again too.
