While the price was good/cheap ($99) the room itself was not very clean. Dusty and there was some rubbish left in the bathroom sink. The location is excellent. I feel a deep clean was required. The room itself was quite unique being in an older building and could use even a slight upgrade with nice decor would make a difference.

There were no glasses, knife, tea spoon, tea and coffee, were not filled up No tissues. Laundry and ironing facilities were not available . My room was not serviced when I had left the sign out I did end up with a tea spoon and steak knife after making a complaint. The excuse was that they were fully booked. I have stayed there multiple times including only 2 weeks before and I was satisfied with my accommodation. Last trip was terrible

Room was dusty and old, had graffic above the door. Doors in hotels should be fire doors, it was broken. A/C was old and blew directly into the wall, room barely cooled down. Toliet leaked from the bottom if full flush was used. Found two old used qtips by the nightstand. Tv didn't work. Staff were unfriendly. Definitely putting this motel as a don't return.

Liked: Amenities
Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was perfect. Building was without hot water on first night of stay but staff had it fixed by the morning. Superficial structural damage to the carpet and doorframe near bathroom left room feeling run down. TV reception was non-functional. No room service was provided, nor did staff inform if such an option was available. More communication in this regard would be appreciated. Due to the unfortunate timing of events during my stay, room prices were far above what one would consider a fair nightly rate, however, at a lower rate, its a fine budget option for a few nights.

Definitely the second worst mattress and base I’ve ever slept on. Should be sent to landfill immediately. And the room was grotty. Needs a serious deep clean. Apart from that, staff good, location excellent. They sent a helpful text message, explaining how to get in and where to find the key, way ahead of time.

Room was absolutely filthy never dusted or vacuumed - bed and towels were clean - room was completely ran down - shower curtain covered in mould - there was no toilet paper in dispenser however found one on sink - aircon only worked with curtain open and it was very noisy being on swanston street and to top everything off the TV didn’t work - fuzzy reception, it was basically like staying in a seedy hostel in the best location in town, lastly no reception desk after 5pm had to call 3 times to finally get them to send details of door codes etc, if it was renovated with a safer elevator it would be amazing with the location.

The room itself was pretty dirty. Lots of built up dust underneath furniture and appliances. The air con worked great, no issues there. Check-in was straight forward and easy. The location is great. 3 minute walk from Flinders and ease if access to Melbourne. It could use a bit of care, but you get what you pay for and it served its function as a short-term stay.

Beware! We had to change rooms because the one we were in didn't have working electrical sockets and smelled bad. The new room had clean beds and working electrics, but all public areas have graffiti, really worn carpet, bits of rubbish. The staff are really nice and helpful but the building is in serious disrepair and didn't feel very safe.

A bit on the dirty side, clearly an old building underneath everything. Not especially secure entry. Swanston St is pretty noisy in the evening. But hey, it’s cheap.
