This motel was dirty , dusty, grimy. Burn marks all over the carpet. Burn marks on the bench tops . Rangehood covered with grime and grease. Broken power point behind bed Bed board scratched paintwork Hooks on the wall with no paintings/prints Mould In the bathroom Broken towel rail Hair on the bathroom floor and grime Urine on the base of the toilet Toilet brush filthy Skirting boards covered in dust Flyscreens ripped Freezer in very small bar fridge compacted with ice so you couldn’t fit anything in. Dirty sock under lounge !! OMG I Could go on and on It was the worst , and I checked out the next morning I had to clean the room before I could sleep They gave me 2 white washers and some shampoo tubes to clean with The washers were black when I finished UNBELIEVABLE When I checked out the next morning there were NO Housekeepers on site , no trolleys no NOTHING! The exterior was dirty and unkempt. No Dining facilities. You had to ask for milk No wine glasses I’m the room. Hair on the crockery in the drawer. I am pursuing a refund with WOTIF as my health was placed in danger at the Footscray Motor Inn. ABSOLUTELY DIRTY.

You received a full refund by us giving you one , there was no contact apart from review to Wotif.Manager called twice and there was no reply or call back The best course of action was to have gone to reception and straight away and stated you are not staying and contacted Wotif for a full refund.Instead you stayed the full night and then complained next day.If the room was so bad as you put it, how was 2 wash cloths to clean be acceptable for you to stay, No one wouldn't have stayed one second if it was the way you had described here

One terrible night, my child couldn't sleep all night in fear. The room was noisy, dirty, there was no safe door lock. Next to the room they had an argument and we were very scared.

There was supposed to be a extra bed put in the room. It was not put in there after 2 requests which meant 1 adult and 1 child had to share a single bed. The guy on reception told me on phone before arriving that he would put one in there. Did not happen and not good enough. Will not stay there again.

GOOD: * Spacious room and bathroom (High ceilings) * Good air conditioner * Comfortable beds * Next to Tram railway * 2 seater couch was a bonus BAD * No toaster * No milk * Bar fridge too small / needs defrosting * No microwave oven * No Hair Drier * Stairs to room are too steep and dangerous (Probably not to building code) * No towel rails in bathroom

This motel is nothing like the slick promotional photos. The room looked rough without bed any covers, the air conditioner did not work, and there were no spare blankets. The trundle bed provided for an extra child was very uncomfortable. If you're desperate for a room, and it happens to be very very cheap when you book, then it might be a fair transaction, otherwise I recommend avoiding.
