Not luxurious but Low cost for reasonable accommodation which was quite clean and comfortable
We just needed an overnight stay and was apprehensive due to the photos and the price but were pleasantly surprised when we got there. We were upgraded to queen bed and smart TV. Room was very clean, well presented, plenty of fresh towels, bathroom supplies and tea and coffee. Bed and pillows were super comfy. Nice and quiet area. Would stay again.

Not bad.
Negative points :-
1. Extra cup and cutlery would have helped. There were three of us.
2. Some desert bowls would have helped; we routinely have quick oats for breakfast
3. A kettle would have helped.
Receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. The room was beautiful and clean and smelt amazing inside it.
Really comfy beds. Had a blast staying there

We had a stop over as a family and the family room accommodated our needs quite well. The beds were comfortable and the location was great for walking to dinner and close to Sovereign Hill.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and it was quiet so I had a good nights sleep. A couple of annoying things happened, the inside door handle fell off the first time I closed the door and was just sitting on the fitting thereafter and the toilet blocked after the first use even though minimal toilet paper was used. As I was only there for one night I wasn't overly bothered about these two inconveniences, but I would have been if my stay was longer.
No warning that motel reception was closing at 4pm when we booked the day prior. Received a phone call saying that it would be unmanned. Room appeared clean but found trimmed toe nails on the carpet. Quilt was stained. Bathroom tiles particularly around edges were not clean. Every table/bench was damaged, had holes or was stained. Towels were stained and extremely frayed. Bathroom mirror light did not work. Extremely old built-in clock radio flashed non-stop and couldn’t be altered or turned off. How do others sleep with this? Single bed needs to be replaced. No breakfast available. Maybe our room was not the norm for this motel and I’m extremely surprised by other reviews. This room needs serious maintenance and much better cleaning.

Walking distance to SH
When we arrived to check in around 2.30 there was no on at the reception. Once we got the key we found out our room was not cleaned. The previous guests sheets were all over the place. I wasn’t sure if the bed sheets were even replaced. We had to wait for 15 min to get the room done. They left only less 1/4 toilet roll for 5 of us who stayed for 3 days. Loud construction noise was not stop until around 10.30pm and the beds maybe old bed so loose firmness. This motel was the cheapest so I guess it is what it is. Very handy if you want to go to sovereign hill and city centre. Despite all of that i would not mind to come back for short trip.

Very basic and outdated, that being said if you are looking for a place to lay your head then it's fine. Pool area looks like it needs a lot of maintenance but it's functional as is everything in the room Bathroom facilities are outdated and the beds, are extremely soft in fact to soft.

Staff were helpful and friendly but our room was a bit grubby and hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly before our stay.
