Absolutely not worth the money we spent on it
Pros:

Absolutely nothing

Cons:

It was filthy and dodgy the curtains, carpets and walls were covered in filth the couch was falling apart there was hole all through out the walls and the safety chain on the door was missing and rusted as two women travelling on our own it made us feel so unsafe that we ended up having to wedge one of the dining chairs under the door handle I would never recommend this place

Basic nights stay for a festival, I’d stay again.
Pros:

Location with easy access to Flemington park

Cons:

Room is very tired, it was clean but the walls were cracked with a few holes, the curtains ripped, the toilet roll holder tapped up and the carpet ripped.

Pros:

Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Liked it having bus & tram stop next to hotel. Free car parking. Room was clean and tidy. Daily servicing during the week.

Cons:

Rooms ok but cant help that the area of footscray was a bit "dodgy", especially at night.
The TV was very slow at times and wifi reception/connection fluctuated on and off. No foxtel.
Noisy some nights during our stay with people staying in other rooms yelling outside in the middle of the night. Had the apartment above us having a party at midnight and turning on spa bath jets- which was very loud (both the bath and the occupants)- room not very sound proof.
Didnt like that smoking was permitted outside in common areas (including some poeple sitting on outside steps smoking) and the multiple cigarette collection trays around outside.

Great stay at footscray
Pros:

Loved the room and the bed was great! Location was where we needed to be so it worked out well!

Cons:

The parking is a little cramped but there isn't much you can do to fix that so it wasn't a big issue.
