We stayed for 4 nights and highly recommend this place. It is fairly old but well looked after. The room upstairs was very large, the bed very comfy & the breakfast provided was delicious. We'd definitely stay here again.

This is a good, old fashioned 60s style motel that has the rooms modernized to some degree. Beds are new, baths are original (now funky). It is very clean, inexpensive, very convenient and friendly. We always stay there when visiting family in Melbourne.

Stayed here last night...Very very old & run down, deceiving pics on the internet. Freezing, noisy room in general from external traffic, noisy fridge & aircon. Bathroom had mould all over ceiling & tiles. Tiled bench tops in kitchen area - chipped & grout coming out, not enough blankets, dirty windows with no coverings so outside light shines all night,...

We've stayed for 3 nights in family room with 2 y/o twins. The room had 1 king size bad and 2 bank beds. Not too small, with big restroom - the washer and dryer located there. Full of basic things - electrical tea pot, forks/spoons/plates etc. The breakfast (included in the price) is very basic - serials, tea/coffee, bread with... More

However it is clean and tidy for sure. Loads of free parking, a tram stop at the door. Friendly and helpful staff. A free breakfast... More

We stayed here when visiting for a weekend training camp at the state hockey centre. It is a shady and cool motel on Royal Parade with the tram running along out the front. Whilst it is dated with an old air conditioner and basic kitchen the rest was clean and somehow simple and comfortable. We had ground room 5 which... More
