Great except for the road noise.
Pros:

The location and cleanliness was very good.

Cons:

The window and door glass in room 1 needs to be triple glazed to reduce road noise from heavy vehicles going through Bendigo.

Great in so many ways but definitely needs upgrades in areas
Pros:

The room was beautiful and the location perfect. It was very clean.

Cons:

Unfortunately the air-conditioning didnt work and the pillows were so thin that my wife and I really struggled to sleep. As well the smoke alarm had a plastic bag over the top which was mildly concerning.

Pros:

Adequate room for a one night stay, room was clean, had a table and chairs and a small fridge.

Cons:

Unfortunately we couldn’t get the heating to work and it was very cold so had to sit in the bed to watch tv to keep warm. Bedding was cheap and thin. Coffee cups were stained and need replacing.The hotel is on the main road going through Bendigo and it was very noisy with traffic throughout the night The hotel itself is a converted house with 3 rooms, no staff on site. I was not aware of this when I booked, more like an airbnb where you are left to you own devices.

nice
Pros:

This is a very quiet motel. Location is great, the bus stop is within 5 minutes' walk, activity centre is within 15 minutes' walk. The room is very clean, and the bed is comfy. Overall, a good experience.

Cons:

AC is a little bit slow. It needs more time to warm up the whole room. But this is really a personal feeling as I am the kind of person hate cold.
