Heather

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Wait time to check in. And then walking into a dirty, run down room that had the door hanging off the higne, blood on the wall, broken tiles, leaking taps and a dirty floor made us want to leave. We had no choice as we had traveled 3.5 hours to do business in Melbourne, but if we had anywhere else to go, we would have left. We felt dirty, uncomfortable and disrespected having to stay in this room.
Entry door hanging off its hinge
Metal spacer sticking up
