Great location for us
Laurie the owner was lovely. I phoned ahead to advise we were running late & it wasn’t a problem. On arrival we chatted with Laurie for about 1/2 hr - great communication and quite a lot in common with us. Lots of plans to change how the venue and how it is used. On approach the accommodation looks in need of tlc but it’s happening. Our room was very comfortable and had all we needed for a nights stay.

When I called to let them know that we would be checking in really late, the owner/reception guy was very helpful. He just left our room unlocked (left key inside the room) and turn on the heater on

The property is convenient if you were attending a function at the premises. The room could benefit from a refurbishment. The tiny ensuite ceiling needed painting. It had brown stains and mould. There were patches on the walls in the bedroom. All walls needed painting. There were strips of forimca off the cabinetry.

Pictures of Norwood not up to expectation
The advertising depict a clean, modern well run conference centre and it's nothing like it. Totally run down premisses. The premises are used for housing permanent residents, that come across like being on the welfare system. This meant that there was music all night long and people coming and going. Picture missing off the wall. Garden not keep. Rooms not clean, lots of hair on the floor in the bathroom.

A 3 night stay.
Bed was clean and fresh. It is a case of you get what you pay for. The owner was helpful and friendly. Towels need replacing. Bathroom is only big enough for one person. Badly in need of renovations which l believe will be addressed. Noisy neighbours made sleep impossible on the last night.

Needs some work
The place needs some work which was explained to us on arrival. Description on web site is wrong. No bar or lounge area. Needs to be updated. This would be a nice place to stay after all the renovations are done. Host was very accommodating

Very conveniently located between Frankston and Mornington, the two places where I had to go. The room smelled stuffy and smoke from outside had probably entered the room. No ironing board or hangers were provided. The images provided online do not truly reflect the condition of the property.

To say the room was ‘tired’ is an understatement. To describe the room as a suite was a stretch. The spa bath was in disgusting condtion. Duct tape was used to kerp curtains closed. Toilet seat was broken - slipped and slided. Behind the toilet disgusting. Fridge leaked. Mosquitos in the room each night was the bathroom ( toilet or under the spa?). Couldn’t fill the kettle as it didn’t fit under tap in the bathroom sink ( tiny). Reception was a big clue - dirty and grubby. Also, there was a scheduled power outage during my stay on one day from 8am to 3pm. The property manager was given three weeks notice - he only advised me of the outage by slipping a copy of the notice the day before the outage. The room was unusable for most of the day. Appalling customer service really. What a joke. Worst room I have ever stayed in a motel or hotel over 50 years of travel.
