Rooms basic and not representative of the photo images provided to the web promotion. Rooms were in a much worse condition. Incorrect electrical equipment - US lamp and plug (120 volt) in a Australian (240 volt) socket. Some taps dripped continuously. Not safety diagrams as required by legislation.

Basic but spacious and convenient

Basic but catered to our needs, great location for the footy which was the purpose of our trip. Only real negative was not enough cutlery in drawer, only two forks, and 3 spoons, we had booked for 4. However quick 5min drive to Kmart and $5 spent and we had a full set of our own cutlery.

This satisfied our purpose of purely a bed after going to the football but we are grateful we only needed that. The front door to the complex was constantly ajar leaving no security. The doors to the rooms were grotty. Inside was basic but our internal door had swear words written on it. The room was cold, ran down (parts of bathroom new) and the curtains were not actual curtains - I can’t even describe them. I was worried we were going to be broken into - I wouldn’t stay here again. I guess you get what you pay for in this example.

Honestly cannot believe the couches. To the owners / managers please buy some couches that are comfortable. It feels no better than a park bench. Last time I said never again and stupidly fell for the cheap price. They are cheap but be prepared for the incredibly nasty and dirty side. Don’t consider cooking there unless you bring your own frypan Not responding to my messages on the Expedia platform meant I couldn’t cancel without losing my money.

Not fancy but meets basic needs.

Unit was basic, reasonably clean except for blood stains on the mattress protector under the sheet, but being a crisp white sheet it was visable through it which was a little off putting. Shower was small but great water pressure and temperature. One thing that was very impressive was how surprisingly cool the unit remained with only one a/c in main bedroom and 38 degress outside. I think with it being on ground level and all concrete walls helped. Great close location to MCG. It wasnt fancy but for the very reasonable room rate it served our purpose well to have a bed for the night and facilities to prepare our own meals while down for the cricket.
