Hi Hussein Hussein and Maya Kanjo, You were lucky I let you stay last night as Hussein is supposed to be blacklisted because of thrashing and smoking in the room in the past but I let you stay as it was late and everywhere is fully booked. If you rang, then definitely wouldn't have taken this booking On check-out, you were swearing and verbally abusing me to hurry up while I checked the room. I will let other guests decide with this 1-star review. This is obviously an abuse of the review feature of the platform. I'm not going to waste my time with this review. We wish you all the best. Regards, VictorManagerThe Mulgrave Motel

Greeted with a smile.
Nice to be greeted with a smile. after a long drive and a busy afternoon it was good to be able to put the feet up. Room was a good size with large ensuite and a good shower water pressure. no on site restaurant but a short walk across the road to the local club/pub had plenty to offer.

Older hotel but still comfortable. Modernised bathroom was nice but uncomfortable to have a shave. Need to kneel on the floor to see one's face. Plenty of wall space to have a normal height mirror installed. Maybe an ideal bathroom for children or midgets?
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023
Response from Victor on 1 Sept 2023
Hi Mark,Thank you for staying with us mate and for taking the time to post a review of 8 out of 10. Good to know that you liked and appreciated the complimentary upgrade to our our renovated bathroom. Normally, I would have looked the other way but with all due respect mate, I'm 5'2 and majority of our guest are not as tall as you are but describing our room for midgets or children is totally uncalled for. I've stayed and managed accommodation for the last 20 years and I'd say the size of our room is well within industry standard and definitely not a "hobbit sized" bathroom if that's what you mean. Thanks again for your your business and I do hope you find accommodation suited to your height requirements in your future travels. Stay safe and all the best. Kind regards, VictorManager The Mulgrave Motel

I had a wonderful experience at the Mulgrave Motel. I checked in quite late in the evening and was greeted by Victor who was very friendly and welcoming. He gave me a room upgrade, chocolates and drinks upon arrival. I had a very comfortable stay that evening. The room was clean and very well presented. I would stay at the Mulgrave Motel again next time I'm in Melbourne. Thank you Victor and the team.

Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022
Response from Vic on 29 Mar 2022
Hi Kaljinder, Thank you for staying with us and I'm so sorry to hear you had this issue. Honestly, I would also be upset if I were in your situation. We had a good start providing late check-in instructions and everything was going well and you seem like a reasonable person to deal with. First of all, it's not a 'little thing' that was broken and if it was, then I would have definitely let it slide. We had guests that broke a kettle, broke the table leg or even broke the toilet seat and I didn't charge them for it as I can fix it ourselves. It was the tiled soap holder that was broken and it cost us more than $250 for parts and labor to have it fixed and we didn't attempt to charge your card further not to include the few days that we are unable to sell the room as it was under maintenance. It's really disheartening that we have to end your booking this way. You were very friendly and left the room clean and tidy but unfortunately, this has to be done. Thanks again Kaljinder and I hope you and your family had a safe trip back home. Please don’t hesitate to contact us further should you wish to discuss your recent experience with us as we endeavor to meet or exceed the expectations of our guests. Stay safe and all the best. Kind regards, Victor and Team @ The Mulgrave Motel

Friendly service, comfortable beds and decent bathroom with hooks on the door (so desirable and rarely found). Windows though were dirty and the room would benefit from a good dusting. As the noise level from Dandenong Road is so high, it is a shame there is not better sound proofing of rooms.

Hi, Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time post a review. While we value your privacy, it would have been greatly appreciated if you did not stay anonymous so we can identify which room you were referring to or at least made reception aware of this issue so we can rectify it immediately. This is why we send a Welcome SMS to encourage real time feedback from our guests. We pride ourselves with clean and affordable accommodation so rest assured that we will take this matter on board. With the road noise, compared to other Motels that are directly located on main highway, our Motel is 3 houses away from the main road so that makes a lot of difference in terms of minimising road noise. We sincerely apologise if this affected your stay with us. Please don't hesitate to contact us anytime to discuss more details about this issue. Thanks again and we wish you all the best. Stay safe and have a lovely day. Kind regards, Victor and Team @ The Mulgrave Motel
