Always get a very decent bed and shower here at a very reasonable price, with a tram out the front door, rail only minutes away, and the restaurants of Footscray.

I know this is a budget accommodation but OMG! I could feel the springs in the mattress, the cupboard and bathroom doors didn't close properly. There was no microwave or usb ports. When we left in the morning I could see the cleaners with their cart at another room, went back in to the room to look for a do not disturb sign, there wasn't one. Figured it's a budget motel they probably only clean on checkout. Came back to the room and not only had they been in the room but they had repacked my personal belongings I had left out on the table, moved my personal devices and turned off the tv that I was using to charge my devices with their usb ports. There were what appeared to be some kind of work crew that thought it was ok to say things to my daughter and then yell and carry on at each other around 6-6.30 in the morning as they got ready. Time to shower, no hot water. Quick wash on the sink, hot water. Try a shower again, in for barely 60 seconds, hot water is gone again. The shower went back n forth every minute or so from hot to cold and back again the whole time I was in there. The place looked relatively clean but when I took my shoes off and walked around the room, they got dirty very fast. My daughter checked us in as my flight got in late the first night of our stay and said that the person who was at reception was nice but a little weird and asked if she would be alone in the room, even though the booking said two people. Will not be staying again or recommending.

Our Executive room that was able to sleep 3 with king bed & single bed had a total of 4 pillows with no extra bedding in the cupboards. Missing - towel rails, soap holder in shower that had a malfunctioning shower head & hairdryer. It had 2 glasses, 3 different cups, 1 bed light that needed changing. We reported the shower head issue but was not fixed for our 2nd day. Breakfast was not an option or offered. We will not be stopping there ever again.

I found someone's else doll, clothing and dirty socks in the room. At night woke up with brawl outside. Table lamp was broken, doap holder in shower broken, so could only keep toothbrush and soap on the shower floor, made a video of bed bug when woke early, smashed it to make a blood splash, found cigarett but wrapped in bedding inpecting my mattress for more bugs. Kitchen didn't work despite breakfast still advertised. Can keep going on with lesser issues, this place is a last resort...

Look, the studio room was really pretty good.Great position, a great room rate, and not a bad room…maybe better cleaning? I know I’m probably sounding picky, but the range hood in the studio room was covered in dust and the floor (bathroom included) really needed to be swept…shower head really needs to be replaced or at least repaired, and no towel rails or toilet paper holder,but, having said that, great position, great room rate and I’d probably stay there again!

Arrived at around 3pm for check in, reception closed. Sign said back in 10 only had to wait a couple of minutes. Found a pile of dirty and wet towels in the cupboard. Walked back to reception and staff removed them for us. Pillows were ridiculously thin, there was no more in the cupboard (I looked and found the towels ha!) woke up in the morning to find baby cockroaches on the wall and single bed my son was sleeping in. Few stains on carpet and walls and bench, which I expect in a property that age. Could do with a refresh, pest bombing too! We woke at about 6am as other guests were very noisy. No street noise though/couldn’t hear tram.
