Find the Cheap Brunswick Hotels

The location of the hotel is only one street away from the downtown area. At night, it feels very different. There are a lot less pedestrians on the road in front of the motel. But the benefit is relatively quiet. The parking in the yard is free, enough parking, breakfast is not available. The facilities are quite comprehensive and they are old. The little brother at the reception actually said a few simple Chinese.

We booked in to the hotel as it looked to be close to the City but also specialty fabric stores on Sydney Rd. Turned out to be a great spot, with close access to Trams & Trains and onsite free parking. The room we had for two of us was spacious and clean. Looked to be recently renovated with a comfy bed and huge wall mounted TV. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We ended up staying there twice over the course of our trip after an interlude at another motel. A great find!

Filthy place to stay, looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. Stayed here for a well needed holiday but got a holiday from hell. As soon as you walk into the foyer the place has a musky smell, when going into the room it seemed nice at first look. After being in there for 10 mins you start getting effected by the dust in the air not to mention trying to sleep in the bed, it feels like sleeping on a slab of cement. We rented a queen room for 7 nights, we used the bunks that were included in our room just shut off by a door as these were softer. We only stayed 2 nights but that was enough. The dust was that thick in the room that you could physically see it floating in the room like snow falling. My partner spent the second night in the car as it was playing up his sinuses to the point where he felt he couldn't breath, also the swipe card for the room deactivated itself to add to everything else that night. If we could have left the second night we would have but had to talk about getting a refund. When speaking to hotels.com they said thwy would have to talk to the reception to find out what was going on and if hey would refund. When they tried to call the reception phones they were apparently not working, seemed very convenient considering she was picking it up in front of me and saying it was working. We were told by hotels.com to leave and they would try calling reception again later to sort out the refund. Before we left we were asked to show them what the problem was so went up and show them all the dust and filth. They said they didn't know about this and that it must be the cleaners cutting corners. I feel this hard to believe since it is so dirty and looks like it hasn't been cleaned for ages. After we left I got a call from the receptionist to ask if we had used the bunks, I explained yes and the reason why but he told me that wasn't part of the price and it would cost more to clean it. In the end they only wanted to refund us for 3 nights. thanks to hotels.com they made up the difference. Sorry about the rant but I don't want anyone else's to have a holiday from hell like this again.

Let's start with what is good about this business- * New carpets in the rooms/hallways * New furniture in reception * New beds/linen/TVs/lamps in the rooms * The location is unsurpassed- walking distance to the Women's hospital AND numerous parks, Brunswicks nightlife and shopping district * The carpark is generous * The staff are pleasant But then... what's bad? * No bins in the bathroom * Not enough power points in the rooms in convenient locations ( We all have to charge devices these days) * The pool looked lovely until you realise that in mid-Summer... it's not clean * Value is poor- I understand tennis is on in Melbourne so the motels are set at a premium... but really? Mid renovations and unfinished rooms... and they feel they can put the price up??That reflects badly on the management of this location because it's opportunistic in all the wrong ways. * Rooms are not maintained during your staff- beds were not made when we returned from our day out ... and then the ugly! * The water literally wasn't on in the morning... due to the lack of presence of hot water, we had learned to turn the taps on and let it run for a few minutes... but on the second morning here it literally stopped and no water came out for about five minutes. Thinking it was safe once the water returned, I showered, only for it to stop for about 20 seconds mid shower * Water for the shower runs hot and cold... literally mid-shower * Renovations are occurring like other reviewers have noted and there is clutter in the hallways It's not a motel that one would return to in a hurry, but if they manage to make good on their renovations and revitalise the outside areas ... it has potential to be something special.

Only stayed one night, but we were most impressed that this quality accommodation is available at such a good location at such a low price. Drive your car right up to your door is a plus too. Spotlessly clean inside and out with all amenities in a large room in great condition. We'll be back.

Business meetings at Essendon Airport the location was fantastic , very quiet and car park entry and exit was very easy to access. The service was outstanding from the team and they ensured my stay was comfortable. Lots of great restaurants nearby also see you in April

Starting with amenities. There are none. Self contained kitchenettes, Not full sized but everything or almost everything is available. It certainly doesn’t fit the description of an apartment. Now everything is small and closed in especially the balcony. Tiny. Don’t ask about parking. There is none unless you want to pay for your compact vehicle to go into the rumpus room of the building. Now the biggest faux pas is the fact that the Victorian State housing blocks are right opposite the Melrose. This is great if you have selected the not free parking and you wish to make an insurance claim. The owner has issues with the locals. The proprietor has many issues with the truth. It has water views for certain if you are in the kitchen or bathroom. If you have caught on by now you should understand there are many misleading statements which simply are not true. Count how many you can find. Yup heaps. Now stay elsewhere if you value peace of mind. Oh and truth in advertising. Watching TV is a guaranteed way of getting a bad back. Beds are far from comfy.

The rooms are small and the roadside sounds are loud during rush hours. The surroundings are very good!
