    I got a very good price with Booking compared to my last stay. However, the low price was reflected in the room provided. The TV was continuously on the blink, and I notified the staff. The air conditioning was hit-and-miss. I left a pair of shoes on my last visit. I phoned to say that I had left the shoes. It was in December 2023. I live in the ACT. When I arrived, I asked about the shoes, and the staff referred me to a customer service representative on the phone. I Explained about the shoes. Immediately, she said that the shoes were gone as I left them in December. There was no empathy for me, just a quick answer.

    The room is very clean, and the shower and location are perfect.

    Difficult to check in after hours. Venue needs to review process for last minute bookings and late check in. No exterior lights on property - very dark street & felt unsafe.

    The sheets were stained from urine the room we stayed in had 🪳 🪳 🪳 and the windows winder broke off and cupboard doors creaked louder than a car going over speed humps, also there were literally pretty much no staff present and no crockery or utensils in the room and mediocre facilities

    Smoke detector was covered with plastic. Asked for 2 single beds and was given a king and a single rollaway bed. Access code to get into building did not work- had to phone hotel and lady wasn't very hospitable.

    Bed was comfy and room was good location for our visit.

    Stay was wanderful. I went there for my exam and stayed at Lily sands Inn. I had my check-in at 1400 hrs but my flight was early in the morning so the management was generous enough to allow us to check in at 1200 noon which was very kind of them. They even upgraded us to penthouse suit. Hotel was quiet n comfortable that allowed me a space to prepare for my exam. I appreciate their effort 🙏🏻

    You can hear a little bit of noise through the walls but the other guests were very respectful during our stay so it wasn't an issue for us and we didn't receive any complaints the one night we played some music before going out. I'd just suggest to be aware of your noise level so you aren't disturbing your neighbours.

    Our room was on the top floor, had beautiful trees right outside the windows and a view of the city in the background. It's only a short walk to the tram which will take you into the city or connect you wherever you need to go. Plenty of food locations and things to see within walking distance. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and I really loved the aesthetics of the room. The aircon and mini fridge were big bonuses for us. I also appreciated that we were able to enter and exit without having to walk through big lobbies like you would at a hotel, it was very comfortable and I would definitely choose to stay here over a hotel again.

    Uncomfortable beds and pillows, also flickering light on and off, all night long, in the corridor outside the room, was very visible from under the door. Sleep was quite difficult. Expected better quality for the cost.

    Quaint B and B style, staff were friendly and check in process efficient.

    Paid for two rooms, arrived after hours and only received a key to one room. Nil staff around and hotel phone unanswered. Slept on the floor with the rats. Management refused to offer a refund for the room they didn't provide.

    I will never have to stay there again.

    Window didn’t shut properly so a slight security concern as room was on ground floor. Was only in room for 1 night so not that big a deal

    Location was good for south Melbourne. Check in process without reception staff was simple. Bed was comfy
