The price is good value, check in was simple and the room itself was fine. Nothing amazing but decent for a short stay. Would say the area is not the nicest or quietest though.

Solid Melbourne base

Good location for football the adjacent university and my trip. Footscray tram out front to the city great open space parking Comfortable bed and couch in spacious room. New AC Needs better cleaning in shower base and taps all dripped. Easy to fix Doors are not great at blocking sounds of others outside not glamorous but I'd base myself here again

The door to room 9 was jammed and hard to open. The AC was not working and no blanket was available in the room so it was cold at night. Also there was no soap holder in the shower.

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...
