Good budget place to stay with friendly staff. If you want a place to stay overnight, it has what you need. My personal opinion, 9.2/10 star rating is too high for this motel. It is a basic, normal budget motel. When I left my room at 7:15 am on Sunday morning, a random guy in the carpark saw me coming out the room and asked for the code of the room which I just left. He said he is a cleaner for the motel. I said that he should get the code from the boss and he replied that they are not here now. I didn't give it to him but he kept asking for it. He also said to me that he came our of the pub - trying to convince me that he is a cleaner but he didn't have any cleaning equipment nor trolley to collect things. It looked very suspicious. To the owner of the business If he was the real cleaner, it is a very unprofessional thing to do and I felt very intimidated. You should talk to your cleaner stop asking for the code to the customer. If he was a random guy trying to get into the room, you should check about this guy. He could do some damage to your property or to your business.

do not judge a book by its cover as is in this case. situated on the freeway behind a pub we did not expect much and was very pleasantly surprised by the newness and cleanliness of the room. the downside is slow/weak internet and the bed isn’t as comfy. for short stays near footscray & sunshine where we needed to be we were very satisfied.

Great initial experience
I spent three nights here, I found it convenient as it has a bistro and bar, so didn't have to go anywhere for a meal or drink after I'd finished my days work. And in the morning there was a an early morning coffee shop attached for that early morning pick me up. The room was cleaned everyday, this was good except for the third day when it was also very windy, that day I got by to the room to everything near the door was covered in dust (fine grit) I don't know if this was because of the cleaner leaving the door while cleaning the room or if the dust had blown in under the door during day after the room was cleaned. This detracted from my initial experience and though I have further work coming up in the area, I'm unsure if I'll stay here again.

Drove from SA wasn’t expecting the most luxurious place but oh my goodness! It was amazing! Staff were lovely and the room was perfect for two, only complaint would be the shower is showing its age by the floor tiles and probably needs to be replaced, but other than that, such an amazing place to stay and we will be coming again. Food was delicious, coffee was immaculate and thirsty camel was right there, it is definitely up there with heaven!
