Change of owners
We have been staying at this motel for many years when we travel to Melbourne. It has always been incredible with large rooms with kitchenetes. HOWEVER, this time there has been a change of owner and the rooms are small and cramped. Where parking used to be free you are now charged $30 per day which increases the amount paid for the room. We will not return again.

Pleasant stay in a nice area close to the university. Kitchenette was handy and room was quiet, though not fancy. Good value for money and would stay again.

This place was perfect for me as a solo traveller, it was close to everything I needed to get to! The building isn't new so of course there are some stains on the floors however it was properly cleaned and the staff were very lovely!
The standard room that I had was small which honestly I prefer and because I was at the back of the building it was quiet.
