The room was neat, tidy, and modern, offering a great view from the window. Its proximity to public transport and being just a short distance from the city made it very convenient. However, I was not informed about ongoing renovations prior to my stay. That said, the pool and newly renovated areas looked fantastic. One area for improvement would be the front entrance—if it were renovated for better accessibility, it would significantly enhance the property's overall presentation and make it more inviting.

Disappointing return stay

We had stayed here before and the previous stay was great. Unfortunately this time was disappointing. We arrived to our room to find it had a very overwhelming cigarette smell and cigarette burns through out the carpet. I brought this up to reception and they changed us to another room. The second room was better than the first but still had a lot of faults. There was black mould in the bathroom. There were stains on the walls. The door had been removed from the shower so the entire bathroom got wet when using the shower. The smoke alarm was hanging from the roof and would beep every 3 or 4 minutes. I had staff cone snd look at this, the reattached it to the ceiling and put a battery in it to make it work. Unfortunately now it would go off randomly every few hours until i pressed the reset button. So it would wake us a few times each night. The entire motel was being renovated. There was no mention of this when we booked the room but there was posters up throughout the motel explaining this. We weren't prepared for the powertool and excavation noises every day from 9am to 5pm. The room did not look like the photos. I assume the photos were ove the renovated rooms and we were in a room that was tet to be updated. Location was great and i would stay here again but not until the renovations were completed. I have photos of the defects in the room, like the mould etc but the app ADD A PHOTO button is not working so i can't add them.

Comfortable stay and great location.

Customer service was excellent. Convenient location for 15 min walk to cafes and shops in Brunswick. Property undergoing renovation but did not impact us. Bathroom had a shower in bath so not good for elderly or those with mobility issues. This may change after reno. Easy parking.

Currently undergoing renovation. It is an old property that is run down and in need of maintenance. A lot of rubbish around the common areas and construction noise during the day.

Poor standard of accommodation

The room was in a poor state of decor. You could hear all the noises from other rooms. Bed was 2 beds pushed together and as the floor was not carpet the beds moved across the floors. There was zero support in the bed.

It was a beautiful stay in the hotel. Not as posh but overall comfortable. Their double beds are huge and for a family of four, there's more than enough room for us.
