Excellent, friendly and helpful staff
Pros:

I was visiting Monash University, the accommodation is a nice easy 10-15 minute walk from the campus. The breakfast was excellent and the chef/cook very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice. The front desk staff were super helpful, I had to check out early to make my flight and they organised that for me and also booked me a taxi to the airport. Next time I visit Monash I will stay here again.

Mixed feelings
Pros:

It was easy to find and the staff were welcoming. The room was comfortable.

Cons:

I asked for a room that was suitable for a person with a disability and does not do stairs and steps as I walk with a walking stick. I hadn't heard that my request was confirmed on the morning of my stay, so I rang to check and was advised it was all fine. I checked and said "So no steps or stairs?" and the reply was "That's right". When I arrived in the afternoon and booked in I found there were 2 steps from the car Park up to the veranda and there wasn't a hand rail. I had to hang onto the down pipe from the roof. This also meant I couldn't use my trolly to wheel my belongings inside, therefore I had to swing my luggage up onto the veranda and then climb up to take them into my room. I then went to the bathroom and found the shower was over a spa bath, which was too high and dangerous for me to get in. I couldn't face moving everything so I didn't contact the staff to be moved, if they could. Also the Smoke detector had fallen from the ceiling and was in a drawer. I did talk to the man in reception when I left, suggesting that some of the staff might need some training in understanding what disability is and perhaps some sensitive questions to ask in order they can provide what is appropriate.

We have stayed here previously and had no issues until this stay.
Pros:

Location was perfect

Our smoke alarm was beeping when we arrived. We had to take the battery out. Next day it was replaced and started beeping at 4am. We had to take it apart again.
The toilet was constantly running water.
