The basics, great location
This is an older motel that is spotless. Has all you need for a weekend. Next to train station and trams. Great price!

TV remote didn't work as batteries were dead.
I am suspecting my credit details were leaked to scammers from there !! Very unpleasant stay and disappointed.

Great pillows! Quiet. Conveniently located near shops.
Found it easier to reverse park into car parking spaces so that I didnt have to reverse out of the carpark.

This motel has an excellent location for someone visiting Melbourne, but who doesn't want to drive in the CBD. A short walk gets you to 2 different tram lines or a train station; this gets you anywhere in the city (and beyond).
Around the motel, Brunswick has a variety of restaurants, and the Melbourne Zoo is just 1 tram stop away.

The Manager of this property has the best customer service skills I have ever encountered. She was extremely flexible in allowing me to add an extra nights accom at late notice, provided excellent advice on nearby eating options and was very friendly with “can do attitude”. Thank you for providing a great holiday experience.

Close to tram, train and Sydney Road.
Noisy - road traffic from about 6.30am and the walls between the units were thin.
Clean unit, good shower, nice staff.
Limited facilities: tea & coffee, toaster, micorwave but only cups and saucers so toast was on a saucer.
