Pros: The beds were so comfy and the rooms were sound proof, being so close the airport that was great. The shuttle bus was a great service

Pros: We stayed because our plane was delayed and we got in late to Melbourne very tired after long flights and holiday. The hotel came and picked us up for free within maybe 10 min of ringing but it could be walked to if you had less luggage and more motivation! Check in was easy, We had a drink in the bar and went to bed which was very comfortable. The room was quiet and the shower was hot with good water pressure. We also had the luxury of a kettle for a cup of tea. We didn't eat breakfast so cant comment as we left early. Would stay again if having an early flight or a late arrival.

Pros: I like that it's about 12 minutes drive from melbourne cbd but the price is affordable and it was relaxing.

Cons: So far, i like the accommodation. I am satisfied with the service.

Pros: Excellent location(footscray). Right on the strip. Plenty of cuisine to choose from (french, vietnamese, chinese, australian, italian). Bars around too- craft beer, wine bars etc. Near dootscray market and train station to the city. It is above a modern nice pub too if you dont want to go far. Rooms decent size for a short stay. Beds comfy and all the right amenities. Easy access.

Cons: Cleanliness below a standard I would expect. Could brighten the place up a bit with some art work etc. Still has a bit of a prison feel. However we will be back again for what it is its a bargain!

Pros: Value for money, basic good accomodation

Cons: Noise from people coming up the stairs and into the corridor

Pros: We loved the location, the Staff were under the pump, especially on Fathers Day but they were all happy and did not appear stressed.

Cons: This is the second time that we have stayed with you and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, but, it would be appreciated if the door at the top of the stairs had a sign on both sides to close the door quietly and not let the door slam shut, extremely annoying especially in the early hours.

Cons: We had to remind them that our rate/roomb included buffet breakfast. This was embarrassing. Would have preferred that they gave us breakfast details without us having to ask. Air conditioning was drying.

Pros: The position of the hotel can't be beaten particularly if one is on an early international flight. Front desk service, the 'face of the business' is great. Certainly on international par. A very comfortable, clean and contemporary hotel.

Cons: Waitering staff are polite, but approach from some requires some work. The dishes we ordered from the al-la-carte menu were average for the price. Additional breakfast charge is not an attractive speculation, particularly when international guests are staying in other hotels which offer the same as part of the deal.

Pros: Clean, comfortable room, attentive staff.

Cons: Expensive, had to go to the desk to check out (signature required) for US credit card at 5:00am.

Pros: Can’t get better than this for an early flight the next day

Pros: I don't eat breakfast. I can't give a reponse.

Cons: They put an extra charge on my card just in case I wrecked the room or stole something. They said they would pay it back which they did except for about 3 dollars. I don't know why they kept the three dollars though. At the moment it seems like I was robbed.

When asked why our fridge was not stocked we were told it was a crew room!! Well I am ex crew and never did in all my many years of flying did I have a room with bare mini bar. How poor!! Left a poor impression as checkout person was quite smirking

Pros: Great location, close to airport, great atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff

Pros: Clean and private

Pros: They charge $5 for continental breakfast, not worth it

Pros: Location was good close to what we had planned there

Cons: Nothing bad to say location was good service was good

Pros: Room nice & clean& fresh - fragrant.

Pros: The location was OK with a tram stop a short walk away

Cons: Unhelpful staff, demanding ID and treating guests like criminals. I've stayed in many places and never been put under the scrutiny I was put through to stay in some pretty humble accomodation Images online made the accommodation seem much better than it was. It was clean but the bed was uncomfortable, the shower leaked and the fridge made noises all night. Efforts were made to be up to date with entertainment but the smart TV buffered constant when streaming so it wasn't worth it Wouldn't recommend it

Pros: Value for money , tram stop is right outside and easy to get to flinders street and train station is also close by , room is very clean and staff very friendly.

Cons: Beds could be a little bit softer.

Pros: beds were made up every day, the towels were lovely and soft and the pillows were just right

Cons: carrying suitcases up the steps

Pros: We were a family of 6 adults & 1 toddler staying in the 3 bedroom villa. The villa was clean & amenities provided were suitable for our needs.

Cons: Quite noisy early morning due to traffic noise as the villa is at the front of the property & next to a very busy road. Minor issue with door lock, however staff were very helpful in dealing with this. Car parking was an issue on our first night as it was completely full when we returned late at night. We ended up having to street park our vehicle a 5 minute walk away on a side street. Maybe an allocated parking spaces for villa & other apartments would have been helpful? We raised the parking issue the next day at reception & were advised that we were able to park at a neighbouring property? It would have been helpful to know this beforehand as we had returned after 10pm when reception was closed.

Pros: Very friendly staff, excellent location for accessing the sights of Melbourne.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Nice restaurant and close to shops at Coburg

Cons: Charging for car park

Pros: The friendly staff were happy to extend my check out time by an hour for free. The pool looked clean and inviting but it was just too cold to jump in. Extra charge for Wifi was a bit disappointing as it's usually included in this price range. Limited Foxtel channels for free were great if you like sport, however movies were available for about $15. The king size bed was luxuriously large however was a bit bumpy as the base consisted of two singles. Good value for money if you're not going to be spending lots of time inside...

Cons: Air con came on by itself at 5am! Also a bit dusty near my bed

Pros: Location was great, tram access is a short walk and goes directly into Melbourne CBD. The room was spacious, bathroom was clean and sufficiently sized. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Breakfast had a good mix of options. There was a pool on site, which we didn't use but looked clean and inviting. The hotel also had happy hours every day, which was great for some guests !

Cons: TV channels available were not that many and seemed a bit limited.

Pros: This was a reasonably priced place only a 10 minute drive from airport. We spent the day in melbourne and arrived in the evening. The wifi was excellent.

Cons: the location is good for going to the airport but there is little else nearby. Largely a freeway intersection.

Pros: I liked the motel room but the management were extremely rude and unwelcoming.

Cons: The husband and wife who manage the motel were extremely rude and made us feel unwelcome. Despite paying breakfast for 3 mornings in advance and arriving at 8pm we didn't get breakfast.. We were made to feel very unwelcome and our high spirits were quickly ruined so we cancelled the rest of our time there.

Pros: Bed was comfortable. The $13 bacon and egg breakfast was great value for money.

Pros: The room was clean and extremely comfortable Staff were friendly and approachable

Pros: Location.

Cons: Paid for a Spa room and the Spa wasnt clean. Also was a little dissapointed With how much it cost.

Pros: Staff were friendly.

Cons: A bit poor on cleanliness. We had a spa room which was very stuffy as there’s no windows in the room. Dangerous lip/step down from bathroom to bedroom. Shower handle hanging off wall. Bed very uncomfortable. Would’ve thought onsite restaurant would be open on wknds. A very average stay.

Cons: Needs lamps to read in bed and decaf coffee!

Pros: The location was good.

Pros: Not much

Cons: Check in experience was terrible, my wife didn’t feel safe in the room whilst I was out, restaurant is closed which should of been advertised as it’s one of the reasons we booked there - i normally don’t post if I don’t have anything nice to say .... but what can I say, would never book again

Pros: We left early each morning and did not have breakfast at the motel.

Cons: There was no milk for us on arrival and none provided on any other day- we ended up buying our own. The service of our room on the first morning after we arrived must have been interrupted because the bed wasn't made. We would like the option of having a toaster and microwave in the room and would be happy to pay extra and accept liability.

Cons: I booked the venue because it said it had a restaurant and room service. In the information book it had conflicting information one part said the restraurant open Mon - Thursday, the other said Mon - Friday, upon enquiry with reception we were told the restaurant closed some time ago. Staff were not all that helpful with directing us to local restaurants. On arrival the table was dirty with crumbs. I had to ask for milk and was given a small 150ml bottle, I asked for 2 and was given the additional one. On the 2nd night I asked for milk to be advised that they hadn't had a delivery so there was no milk available, no alternative was given. We were not offered breakfast.

Pros: The bed is very comfy and the hotel itself is close to the Westfield shopping centre . Staff gave me an extended check out and stored my bags while I was waiting for my flight
