Loved, in spite of the clumsy bathroom door. I would happily stay at The Plough again next time I come to Footscray.
Pros:

Easy walking access to Barkly & Hopkins streets shops, restaurants and entertainment venues. Bedroom was well presented, clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The bathroom! Although adequately fitted out the door really was in the way and impeded access to an already small vanity unit and basin. Would you consider simply removing the bathroom door altogether? That alone would create much better air circulation from your Air Con unit, demisting the bathroom mirror instantly. A decorative timber trim could conceal the existing frame and fittings. The while suit would operate, look and feel so much better.
