Dated and disgusting
Delapidated and old. We had two rooms and one stunk of cigarettes. Curtains were not on the track properly and one didn't close properly. Wires running out of the bedside table.Wasing hanging outside walkway. Doonah was stained and disgusting.

The room we were in was very dated. Furniture was dusty. Front desk staff friendly. A place to stay if having an event but dont expect too much. No more than a 2 - 3 star.

VERY noisy. My room had a water system near by that ran the whole time, the walls were paper thin- I could hear the neighbours next door- their entire conversation AND their snoring. There was NO light in the morning for me to go outside & navigate all the stairs- pitch black.

I chose this motel only because of its proximity to my intended activity. The property is tired and in need of another renovation phase. It has such great potential yet seems to be only receiving most essential maintenance. I can understand how the pandemic must have smashed the profitability of this business.
The reception staff were very helpful enabling an early check-in. (Thank you Joe? / Cho?.)
The room was clean, warm and mostly comfortable and acceptably equipped. Shower and toilet plumbing is a bit noisy. Lack of outdoor lighting for rooms 21 - 34 is an EXTREME HAZARD when moving during hours of darkness.
The property has no bar or dining which is a shame as I would have used it if available.
Good for short stays where location is top priority.

When I entered the room I noticed that there was no remote for the TV. I went to reception and he acknowledged that the cleaning staff had also noticed that. A person was sent to the room to see the brand of TV but no action was taken to rectify the situation. When searching the room I found used tissues and a take away lid under the bed. It was clear that the room was cleaned to the edge of the furniture but not under it. The following day, I approached the reception staff again and they presented me with a remote control for a different brand which did not work. I noticed rubbish around the exterior of the property and there was significant wear and tear. On the positive, it was extremely convenient for the wedding I attended, and the facilities (bathroom, bed and kitchenette) were all good.

Comfortable room. Property needs work
Our room was comfortable although very dated. We had a lovely view but unfortunately the property outside was run down. I remember Eltham Gateway many years ago in great condition. it would be great to see great again

The hotel was quite nice. There was a little hiccup with my original room not being cleaned prior to check in, however, they apologised and attended to it immediately, and also offered an upgrade. The room and bathroom were very clean. The beds and pillows were also clean and comfortable. The 2 queen bed room, was quite large and had a large desk that was great. Heater worked really well. Not too far to go for good dining options either. Would be happy to stay here again.
