Chadstone Executive Motel — Hotel in Melbourne

Executive is NOT what you'll get at this motel. Traveling from New Zealand for a conference and needing something relatively close to everything and that's the only box this dump checks. Yes it has flat screen TV'S, yes it has free WiFi, yes the heat pumps keep it warm, but, 4 plastic teaspoons, 4 small coffee cups, no bowls, no other cutlery or crockery, the "room service" was non existent, the fox box didn't work, neither did the on/off button on the TV remote. The bathroom ... shower was hot but doesn't have a mixer so all bets are on as to how long it takes to mix the taps yourself and is that a bath in the cupboard? Plenty of space and could live with the odities (including the sign on the hair dryer warning it was faulty and could cause electric shock!) Until I went into the toilet with my glasses on and saw the mixed selection of public hairs and dust bunnies behind the door. The headboard in the main room wasn't attached to the bed so don't try to sit up as it is attached to the bedside tables and they will rock. The second room had a queen and a single, another tv and heat pump and a cupboard masquerading as a wardrobe. The only sofa looked worn and for accommodation that was able to sleep 5, always great to only find 3 chairs. The smokers by the entrance is disgusting and the vehicles in the car park that seemingly don't move match the lack of care inside the motel. It may be cheap, but respect yourself and...

Let me say out the outset that my room was clean, reasonably well equipped and satisfactory value for the money. End of the positives. Parking in the motel carpark, the presence of a derelict car was cause for concern. Approaching the front door it was apparent that maintenance of the gardens and property was an alien concept. I nearly walked away but the deal was prepaid and non refundable, so I pushed on. The internals of the building were extremely tired but as mentioned above, my actual room was acceptable however the shower was found to alternate between full cold and full hot without the taps being touched next morning. What was disconcerting however was the disturbances in the hallway overnight with many comings and goings. I was to discover a lady of the night was conducting business in the room opposite. Continental breakfast was included in the tariff. I had seen the breakfast room and been intrigued by the tables covered with bedspreads. In the morning three bedspreads had been removed to cater for dining guests. The "spread" was meagre and I'm afraid I used the entire allocation of butter pats. So...if you like to live life on the edge and experience new adventures this maybe for you. But it is not for...

DO NOT STAY!! Spend your money elsewhere!!! Checked in on Friday to a lovely Asian man, upgraded my room to the apartment....me and my lil bro had a good night and wanted to extend, was moved to a small shoebox room that was absolutely disgusting, saw a few cockroaches and bed bugs, pubic hair on the toilet seat, and mould in the showers went and informed the manager (some middle eastern guy) and was told if I don't like it to F off and then was "told off" for not cleaning the apartment 0.0 like its a 2 start motel people come here to shoot up like the resident junkie in the court yard. then was told to keep our music down, it wasn't even loud, morning came and we went to the so called "breakfast lounge" no plates, the bread was mouldy, the milk was expired in the fridge. Cereal was stale, so we decided to check out then and their and not extend at all. as we checked out my bro wanted to have a smoke, and was rudely talked to by the Middle eastern guy who then spat at my feet as we checked out "do you know who I am" worst excuse for a motel! No respect for...
