Hotels near Deakin University, Deakin Learning Centre Dandenong in Dandenong

Stayed in a room with a queen bed. The room was clean and tidy. Shower and toilet was good. Had everything that I needed for the night. The only thing that was missing from the room was the complementary tea, coffee, milk and a mug. But otherwise I can't complain.

The location in the evening seems a bit sketchy, but the hotel itself clean, comfortable and safe. The staff is friendly, and the breakfast in the morning is better than most and easy on the wallet for the quality of food. 

Excellent, well worth a visit. I was on the sixth floor and found the stay very quiet. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Coles, Woolworths and Aldi are just a short walk away. There is a restaurant downstairs that provides an excellent array of meals and drinks.

Impeccable rooms, fantastic atmosphere and outstanding staff. Absolutely brilliant trip. Having all of the hotel amenities & dine-in info directly from the tv was great. If you could order directly from the TV instead of needing to scan the QR code for a menu and then call front desk, that would certainly improve the overall experience. But the things that mattered where all there. Thanks to all the staff for making check-in & out so seemless.

While the outside doesn't look so appealing, the room and the carpark and walkways were very clean. Comfortable bed and very clean room. Friendly staff. My stay was during the week and it was quiet; I slept well. During a weekend I imagine it may be noisier.

We were welcomed by a friendly, smiling receptionist, Tharindu. He was very helpful, bringing out a luggage trolley for us and showing us where to park while checking in. In our room, we were greeted by a platter of mini desserts and a card congratulating us on our 30th Wedding Anniversary, signed by the manager. We then re-arranged the room to suit us for 2 days and nights, including swapping out the desk chair for some more comfortable chairs. We were very grateful for Tharindu's easy nature and helpfulness. The room was extremely quiet, only once or twice did we hear a door shut, otherwise we weren't interrupted by any other guests and their movements. We were on the top floor (6th) which had great views to the north, over the Monash City Council outdoor and carpark area with plenty of trees. At night, the Glen Waverley buildings lit up, providing a surprisingly exciting vibe, we felt like we were in another city, in another state, not 12 mins drive from our house! The Glen has plenty to offer with shopping, cinema and a myriad of restaurants. Our hotel was just a 10 minute walk from everything, so we were able to go out several times to have a meal, a movie and the odd bit of shopping for some breakfast supplies. We didn't eat in the hotel restaurant, but they were very kind to let us borrow some crockery and cutlery for our stay. Everything about our stay was positive except for the small matter of having to park off site. The car park underneath the hotel costs $20 per day, so we decided to park 1km away in neighbourhood streets for free. Most of the parking around The Glen is limited to 2 or 4 hours, so you'll need to walk a fair distance to find parking spots.

The room wasn't too bad, the beds were comfortable. The service was absolutely terrible!!! On arrival we went to reception and the guy that served us was rude and arrogant, No customer service skills at all!!! We went to our room and had to leave and go to an appointment, we returned and went to the bistro for dinner, to be told they were fully booked and we could eat in the sports bar. Looking around there were atleast 10 empty tables, we made our way into the sports bar and I walked straight back out, there was no way I was sitting in there with my family to eat a meal. I walked back into the bistro and asked if I could wait for a table, I was told with attitude from the staff that they would come and find us when a table become free, as we waited there was NOWAY this bistro was fully booked! There were empty tables everywhere. We waited half an hour and I walked in and sat at an empty table, a waitress came over and I said my son is hungry and we will be ordering dinner. We eventually had a meal with poor service!!! I will NEVER set foot back in this hotel again. The staff need some lessons in friendly customer service!!!!!

The hotel is just off the road, but there are no restaurants or supermarkets nearby, breakfast can be served at the gas station convenience store opposite. The room facilities are average, but the space is large and the bed is comfortable.

We booked two rooms for four nights over Christmas (originally we had six people but one couldn't come due to a medical condition). One was 'pet friendly' and slept 3 , the other one a no-pet family room that slept 5. Both were pristine, comfy beds, lots of space and storage. Shower a little poky but that's pretty standard in a motel. The sliding door into the shower was dodgy in my room but in the other room it was OK - that was the only issue inside the rooms that I noticed. Total cost worked out to $155 per person between the six or just under $39 a night each which is super cheap for two rooms, especially in peak season. Other reviews state that the traffic as noisy, but not with the window closed and I'm from the country so I would notice! There IS air con. The pool was no Spanish caravan park pool (ie: big!) but it was bigger than normal (about 12 or 14m?) and rectangular (WHY do people build kidney-shaped pools??) so one could do laps, although I did have to do 120 to get my normal swim. Salt water. Spa was useless - cold and couldn't even feel the jets. Gate a bit hard to get into - have to reef the child-proof handle up pretty hard. The location is great - not only was it close to our relatives but also half and hour to Hastings, an hour to Portsea, and on boxing day we drove for just over an hour to another relative in a stunning part of south Gippsland. (I think I'll skip the Peninsula drive on a public holiday next time though ...) Good shopping isn't far away either with Dandenong (the markets there are great), Ikea Springvale, Chadstone and Moorabin DFO all within half an hour, Frankston five minutes and so is the Royal Botanic Gardens of Vic (definitely on my list for next time). My main complaints were about the rules outside: 1. There is no pet exercise area close to the motel rooms. The grassed spaces including the huge waste-of-space of a verge are supposedly NOT for exercising your pet, although the BBQ area is large and totally enclosed which would be ideal. There would even be room to fence off one half of it (pretty much a wasted space as it is with no seats or anything) so pets are away from the BBQ. If I was bringing my dog again I would definitely not stay here without a change to those rules. There is access to an off-leash park out the back of the entire park but it is a long way from the motel which is at the front, and way too far for a midnight or early-morning pajama-clad deposit. It is also too far for anyone (or pet!) with a certain type of disability - pretty ableist. I doubt my in-law's little dog could walk that far on a good day and my father in law certainly couldn't. 2. signs outside the rooms ask that people smoke at least 4m from the rooms, but the ashtrays are within 1m and of course that's where people congregate. Our neighbours smoked in the early morning and late at night and their (normal) voices carried right into the room (as did the smoke when hubby opened the door to ask them to keep q

This place was a breath of fresh air compared to the last 4 places I've stayed in the area. The place very very clean and tidy, the pictures are very accurate which is rare. Bed was comfy. The lady at the desk even gave me the choice of room if I wanted a room towards the back that would get less traffic noise or one in the middle She even opened them up and showed me. Both were very as clean. Super impressed would 100% come back.
