Nice clean room, bathroom was excellent with good water pressure in shower. Comfortable bed. Great value for $135 on a Friday night.

This is the second time my partner and I have stayed at Econo Lodge in Lilydale and it was our last.
The room itself is great. The bed was very uncomfortable...yet the noise was the major problem this time around.
The guests a few door away from us were extremely loud, music blaring in the late afternoon, early evening as some of these individuals sat out the front of their room. Kids ran up and down in front of the rooms and along the balcony walk way above our room, waking us both late in the evening and again early hrs of the next morning...if it wasn't kids in the early hrs of the next morning, it was extremely heavy footed guests going to their rooms on the above floor. The guests a few doors down with their music loud enough I could hear it over the tv at one stage, which wasn't turned up too loud, yet these guests had no consideration to anyone else that was staying at the accommodation...each to their own I guess, but very inconsiderate and annoying when you are hoping after a huge day of driving to be able to kick back and relax in your accommodation...this time was not the case.
Easy check in, super clean, not that motel smell you usually get, not stuffy. Aircon was welcome. Lots of surface space. Great bathroom.
Only rated the staff 4/5 because it was just transactional. Not bad service, just no smile, convo ect. We love great customer service/experiences and this lacked that.
The room was good. However, it can be quite noisy at night with people coming in and out of rooms, smoking outside, and driving by with headlights shining inside the room.
Great place for a stop over. Comfortable, clean and tidy. It would benefit from laundry facilities, so we drove into Lilydale to the laundrette.

Stayed here once. It was an ok stay. The bathroom was a little on the dirty side...we were lucky to get a discount on our stay for organising at the last minute...so we got what we paid for...room was otherwise fine and we ended up having a decent nights sleep...which is always a bonus.
Look it was a bit of a sad situation, it seemed that a portion of the motel was being used as long term accommodation for people who were in disadvantaged situations. Motel rooms just aren’t made for long term stays especially if children are involved. It was a real eye opener and made me sad that there are people especially children living in such conditions.
