    50/50...cheap, close to CBD. But not overly welcoming

    The unit was dark and smelt funny. Not overly clean but not filthy. Old and a little sad looking. Couches in lounge were terrible, looked bad and very hard.

    Area is good, not too noisy. Bed was comfy.

    Kitchen was light on for crockery.

    This place is value for money and is very conveniently located for business in East Melbourne. Parking off-street is real value for money.

    The lady at the front counter when booking in was rude, not friendly at all. The lounge was dirty. The bathroom was not clean stains all over the walls and door.

    Location was good. Good water pressure in the shower.

    There was no hot water. When I asked about it I was told there was a 15L tank so one person only could have a quick shower - but we were in a family room. Walls were paper thin. We could hear everything from several rooms away.

    It’s a great location.

    The bathroom floor needed a clean. Bedding wasn't very warm. Thankfully, there was a blanket in the cupboard.

    Very spacious. Only stayed one night but wished I could have stayed there longer.

    Not staying at the building that was shown on the web site. Arriving at the property car park at a reasonable time ( before closing hours ) to find no staff there and then waiting 10 min on the phone to talk to someone, then only to be told to walk down the street 200 meters to another building.

    Only the parking behind the building

    Apartments were old and tired. Door handles missing etc. New bathroom included a tiny shower, if you are a bigger human, you'd struggle to get in to it. Parking was very tight when car park full. Few near misses.

    Location was awesome for the MCG. Staff were lovely and accommodating.

    The check in process is confusing as there are 2 seperate sites and we had to check in at one site and drive 100 meters down the road to where we were staying. The stairs are a bit of a pain with a newborn baby and carrying luggage. The rooms were an outdated and could do with cleaning the walls and doors or repainting.

    We had an apartment with seperate fully functioning kitchen, however did not use it at all. Separate toilet from the bathroom. Seperate bedrooms one double bed and the other a twin share. Air conditioning worked well.

    Unfortunately my bed cover was dirty, walls were quite dirty, rooms smelt like smoke and bathroom had an odour. The corner.of the double bed was half off with nails sticking out that I could have stood on, had to put it in the bin.

    The staff at reception were very friendly, kind and helpful.

    Cockroaches in the kitchen! No water on arrival due to maintain. No hot water due to heater being faulty. Stained bedding and peeling paint, old carpet etc. A crime/assult took place during our stay (next door)

    Passable. Budget accommodation. You get what you pay for.

    Couch grotty & stained, hard as a rock. No restaurants real close, about a km walk to get to any. Supermarket was super expensive too. Didn't like having to get the key from 1 place then walk 350m to find the place & if your not careful to enter the correct town in GPS, you end up wandering i the wrong direction lol.

    It was close to the hospital that we were there to visit.

    Dirty room - lots of randoms hairs around the place. Bathroom not very clean - quite dusty and towels had hairs on it. Both beds were uncomfortable - due to age. Old furniture - couch super uncomfortable. Carpet looked and felt old/dirty. Blinds were dirty and not cleaned. Window in bathroom can’t be closed. Noisy hotel. Limited parking. Got the room on sale for $175 but normally $350+ - absolutely not worth that price.

    Location.
