The entire place is incredibly decrepit and tired. Rooms were tidy and kind of clean but communal areas were dirty.
The entire place had a funky smell to it.
The lift was the slowest lift I have ever used. Painfully slow.

We stayed while we were visiting Melbourne for football games at MCG. Its a convenient lication with good facilities both within the unit/hotel and surrounding location. Especially having 3 active boys with the park so close by for them to burn off energy.
Reasonable value for money, clean. Were stingy with the coffee capsules & internet was glitchy for 4 days.
Staff were very friendly.

While central to the airport, it is a nightmare for parking. Staff friendly and place is good for price although dusty and dirty marks on sheets, the noise and chaos traffic puts me off staying available.
