Staff were great, we were in the room overlooking the street and we found it too noisy from the live music in the restaurant nest door and too many cars with loud exhaust systems. And motorcycles. The hotel was convenient for our needs, short walk to trams. It also would have been nice to have clothes storage so we had to live out of our luggage bags for our six night stay.

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.

I loved staying here. It's close to the University and plenty of dining choices and the staff are really lovely and accomodating. They really took care of me. Wotif on the other hand are a terrible site. They over booked and didn't send through my booking to the Lygon Lodge, though they charged me and it was only through the help of the hotel staff I was able to get a room. I will never use Wotif again and I would strongly recommend to my colleagues, friends and family to never use Wotif again too.

We specifically chose the property as it advertised parking, yet when we got there we found that parking was not available on the property and to park on the street for free between 7pm and 7am. As it was Valentines Day...there was no parking and who wants to have to wake before 7am to shift their vehicle. Subsequently, we parked in the Carpark next door only to find that doesn't open the next day and we needed to pay a hefty penalty to have someone attend the carpark to let our car out....causing us to miss our next flight.

Extremely disappointed. Will not be back.

Very disappointing. I travel every few weeks here and abroad and this is easily the worst experience in the last year. I don’t normally leave reviews and have never left a negative review. 1. Glass door to balcony won’t lock so impossible to secure room. First floor balcony is easily accessible from outside. 2. Aircon remote screen broken so can’t control it as can’t see what you’re doing. 3. No water pressure in shower and almost no hot water water. Have to run for minutes to get it warm. 4. Didn’t replace hand towels. Took on first day and never replaced. 5. Hairdryer broken and held together with rubber bands. 6. Iron also broken Never got a reply back, update, explanation or apology. Told no other room available
