Melaleuca Lodge — Hotel in Melbourne

I was somewhat dumbfounded when pulling up to attempt to check in. As I was approaching the reception door, a gentleman came out from a different door to the side, approached us and asked “You don’t want to check in, do you?”. When I replied yes, it seemed as though it was a great effort for him to unlock the office to proceed with the check in process. |We were given our keys and pointed in the direction on the two rooms I had booked for the night. |As soon as I entered the room, I immediately started regretting our choice of accommodation. The curtains had green/yellow stains on them, cigarette holes in the bed coverings, sticky TV remote, carpet coming up, big rips in the couch, long hair all within the bed and the biggest one being the fire detector being taped up so would be useless if there was a fire. |Contacted the guy that checked us in to inform him of the fire detector and bed. He was somewhat hesitant to believe me at first until I raised the legality side of things. Within 5 minutes the detector was un-taped and the bedsheets charged. |I was still somewhat skeptical that the detector was fully operational after that - even though he made it beep, the LED lights that are usually on detectors weren’t lit up, and these things looked well past their legal life span. |Personally I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying there until it had a decent clean & replacement of furnishings. Definitely...

If you love a motel that is seriously run down, unclean and outdated , the this is for you.||When we arrived, you automatically could see stains on the bed linen.||||The bathroom door when shut kept getting stuck at the top (the whole room is not square) so you got stuck in the bathroom. This terrified my children as they thought they were stuck.||The beds were uncomfortable and squeaky. The front door didn't open too well either. You could hear it scraping along the carpet every time it was opened.||This Motel was in a good location for visiting our ||friends however, being on the highway it was VERY noisy. We had to check the windows were closed several times before going to sleep it was so bad. Our room was even located the furtherest distance. Their outdoor lighting system was so bright and stayed on all night, make it impossible to get a true dark room for sleeping.||The bathroom had been upgraded recently so it was the saving grace of the entire room, however you don't sleep in a bathroom!||||Overall, it was an awful place to stay. I wouldn't recommend as a place to stay...
