Perfect location close to city and nice large appartment. Cleaning and condition was not the best. Friendly staff, but not easy to get small things like changed lightbulbs fixed. For a 4 night stay, 2 dishwasher tablets were provided, and short opening hours of reception made it unptactical to get more. Big + that they have parking garage!

The place can get a little noisy from the nearby rooms, especially in the morning. There was a spider web in the bathroom and the lights were not cleaned for a while. However it is very close to Lygon St and the check in was quick and easy. The apartment was quite large, but the TV was small.

The apartment had all the amenities described on their website. The chap on reception was nice and very helpful. Public transport was a 2 block walk, which is fine if you don't mind the walk. Plenty of nearby cafes and restaurants etc to choose from. **However, the cleanliness in some of the rooms left a lot to be desired. The vinyl floors were not clean, the skirting boards in the toilet looked like they had not been wiped for a few weeks and there was a large clump of hair sitting in the shower. The water from the taps was cloudy and off colour, which did not look great. (This was an older style apartment, so maybe it was just from the pipes in the building). Also, the mattresses were very hard. I am not sure that I would stay here again. I just think this motel needs to invest in a much more competent cleaning service.

Where to begin? Late check-in required something akin to an Escape Room experience, getting a key from a nearby convenience store, watching a video about the complicated parking process, wandering through the labyrinth of a parking garage to find the scanner to open the gate to park the car. Except... the parking was supposed to cover 2 days, and instead covered 1, so we made another phone call, jaunt to an office for a new scan code... It was all quite an adventure. I will say that the manager was absolutely amazing and kind and accommodating, but seemingly unable to extricate himself from the bizarro world of checking in and parking. The room itself was a huge disappointment. The kitchen faucet was broken and leaking. The stovetop was beyond gross. Pots and pans looked as though they had been used specifically to test food scorching methods, and then never really scrubbed clean. One bed was missing a support foot, a fact that we only discovered when the bed broke in the middle, leaving a large dent to sleep on. No worry - we took one of the disgusting pots and used it as a brace, so engineering for the win! The windows are paper thin and extremely old, so the gusty Melbourne winds whistled and rattled all night long. The heater is, of course, in the kitchen area, so the bedrooms got fairly cold. The sofas were ancient and had smells of mysterious origin. The entire experience was like a poorly written slapstick comedy, honestly. Only the absurdity kept it bearable.

Room 17 I didn't know that there was no air conditioning at time of booking and the windows did not open to allow fresh air so had to open front door and balcony door. we are non smokers and had to empty full ashtray from balcony. bathroom vanity tap constantly running (could not be turned off). Queen bedroom bedside lamp faulty. Tv in King bedroom positioned too low - not watchable from bed. Tv in living room positioned too low also. Absolutely not value for cost - would not stay here again.

We have just finished a very nice stay at the Clocktower. Having stayed many times for business this was my first visit with the family. Rooms were basic and showing their age but quite tidy. The main bedroom lacked a TV as shown in images online, the dryer was out of order and the kitchen a little under stocked, missing things like a frying pan. There was also a very odd toilet seat cover Velcro attached to the toilet seat. The staff were very attentive and made some great suggestions for local restaurants. Overall the negatives were all quite minor and the stay was very pleasant for my family and I. The location is amazing and very central. We’d be keen to stay again.
