Newly refurbished, clean lovely room at this price range.
Bill is a terrible "boss" / manager , i have never been treated so unfairly and been stuck stranded to which this hotel stole my money, and didnt allow me to rest my sore head at the time. I am still awaiting for my deposit for a room i never got to spend time in yet again, i was attacked and they did nothing to ressure my saftey. Worst hotel ive stayed at to date, all becos of 1 little man and rude management. There carpets were disgusting and there were holes everywhere, tv was broken, and found a crackpipe inside there air-conditioning unit. Stay at your own risk. The air-conditioning/heater barley worked and there locks on their doors are barrel key holes, so no that not only are you not safe there, anyone can break-in and take either your stuff or hurt you too.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The manger i found to be rude, wasnt very catering towards women.
Not the cleanest place, though i have definitely stayed in worse.
They allow for pets (dogs and cats) which is a refreshing change.
The room we stayed in was clean, updated and had everything you needed like a microwave, kettle and toaster. The decor was stark but clean. The room was big and the bathroom was quite new. There is plenty of parking. I think they might have some long term guests and as there is no smoking in the rooms, they were all smoking outside when we arrived. I found them friendly enough so no issue. It was very quiet even though it is on a busy main road. All in all it was perfect for a one night stopover.

The room was of a high standard considering the reasonable nightly rate. Bathroom appeared to be recently renovated, room was of a good size and in good condition.
Everything was nice, bed was made beautifully and the room was very clean.

Not recommended. Drug den
Terrible! Half-way house and was woken at 3am with one of the other ‘permanent’ guests destroying his room with a microwave. So bad that I had to book alternate accommodation for the second night.

Some body kicking the door in below our room at 430am didn't have a good sleep fighting arguing spewing Not good
We were visiting friends in the area before heading to Yarra Valley for a wedding.
Room was spacious comfortable and clean.
Not walking distance to anything but we had a vehicle, so could head to a nearby shopping centre for food. We also found a cute museum to visit.
The neighbours were my worry. We heard them fighting twice. Another neighbour had loud dogs. I think these people live in the motel.
The fighting and noise made us feel unsafe.
We booked two nights but only stayed the one.
Might have been our luck of the draw with the noisy neighbours, however we won't be back. A shame really as the rooms are pretty decent and a very good price.
