Always get a very decent bed and shower here at a very reasonable price, with a tram out the front door, rail only minutes away, and the restaurants of Footscray.

Solid Melbourne base
Good location for football the adjacent university and my trip. Footscray tram out front to the city great open space parking
Comfortable bed and couch in spacious room. New AC
Needs better cleaning in shower base and taps all dripped. Easy to fix
Doors are not great at blocking sounds of others outside
not glamorous but I'd base myself here again
