Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We loved our stay. Was really affordable. The rooms were spotless and modern and the staff were lovely. Heaps of parking and right across the road from supermarket etc. The room service was also great and super quick which was handy with kids.
A great location and wonderful staff, we really had a great time. Sadly the walls and ceilings were not the greatest when it comes to soundproofing so we had others running up and down the room and a large function that meant we were being kept up to 11:30pm and then again at 5:30am.

Amanda went beyond for me and my son l forgot to tell you that l needed the sofa bed made up so Amanda came to the room and made it for us also l wanted some ice to have a drink after we came back from tea and she went and got me some. Was very happy with her service at the hotel.
Lovely room - good bed, good shower.
Needs new ironing board as current one was broken & kept collapsing. Iron needed cleaning on the outside as it has black stuff that goes on good linen clothing
.the room was spacious, big enough for a family of 4 to not be on top of each other. Clean room, and very friendly staff. Highly recommended a stay here

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was immaculate, very nicely furnished, had all the amenities required, staff were courteous and very professional. Highly recommend.
The room was clean and well maintained. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It was super quiet in the room we were in which was great. There was a shopping centre across the road so we were very well positioned for our stay.
Excellent rooms , super clean beds and pillows, nice facilities and Location.
Awesome staff , out Tv was not working and the reception came in 5 minutes and was resolved. Also nice breakfast next door at the sands
The staff are always very good we always stay Nightelier Carrum Downs at least once a month. The rooms are always in excellent condition we never have an issue. This time the only issue we had was the Bed was very uncomfortable other than that it was all good.
