Perfect location and enjoyable stay.

The room itself was nice but when I jumped into bed I found hairpins and elastic bands in the bed that weren’t mine. It
Pros:

The accomodation was very central

Cons:

Only one lift working so you constantly had to wait over 10mins for a lift. The staff were rude. We had a big group of 12 staying at the motel and when we wanted to book a table for breakfast of was a hassle.

Run down with hotel taking no responsibility
Cons:

: We stayed with you and were extremely disappointed from the moment we booked until we checked out.
- I made the booking then tried ringing to clarify parking situation - each phonecall went unanswered. We arrived and our car could not be parked onsite. This made us late to our football game which was the whole reason for the trip.
- the room was dirty - the kids room the filter is full of dust and fluff, walls dirty. The bathroom still has hair and soap residue, dirty grout and the shower head does not produce much water.
- the sheets did not fit the bed and at the foot of the king bed you were laying directly on the mattress protector. The top sheets don’t fit and are tucked in so low to fit that you have to decide if your feet are out or your shoulders are cold.
- the kids overheated as there is no air con or working air circulation.
- having only 1 working lift out of 3 and no staff could advise if it was safe to use the stairs which resulted in a 10-15min wait to exit our floor.
- the breakfast on the first day they had run out of many products and were not prepared to replace at 9:30am… it did not feel like a buffet.
The second morning hashbrowns and bacon and waffles were overcooked, no knives to cut bread and cook was no where to be seen when requesting fresh eggs.
We spent well over a $1000 for the weekend and were extremely disappointed.
When I raised the concern on check out there was no apology, no offer to make the situation right just a shrug of the shoulders and asking if I want a receipt.
We stay weekly in Melbourne and this has been the worst environment/service and stay to date.

Pros:

Εξαιρετική τοποθεσία, πολύ άνετο δωμάτιο, πλούσιο πρόγευμα.

Cons:

Την τελευταία μέρα φύγαμε νωρίς και ζητήσαμε το πρόγευμα σε πακέτο (4 άτομα). Πολύ φτωχικό.

Won't be Returning
Pros:

WE Loved the beds super comfortable. Like the fast one Lift that was in operation

Cons:

The cold spa Temperature was useless. The pillows were cheap and soft. The Breakfast was absolutely appalling. After spending many nights in motels and hotels in Melbourne the only thing going for this place is the Location. The breakfast was disgusting and running out of everything plus you need to have individual condiments and not in jars as its unhygienic and after covid things should have been changed. Warm milk, no toast bread. No service and very short staffed
