Parkside Inn Motel

Family run business, very close to La Trobe Uni. You can tell the family has struggled to get thru and back from covid times, but theyre still open and still trying with a smile on their face :-)

A big disappointment, not as advertised. Smelly, poorly maintained (cupboard doors falling off, mold in bathrooms), garbage outside the doors, dodgy men hanging about- really unsafe. Left four days early into an eight night booking, refused any kind of refund. Worif should no longer work with them.

Very close to La Trobe University Bundoora was its primary charm. I underestimated how busy & noisy Plenty Road would be. Pack ear plugs!

This place is absolutely disgusting! I would NEVER recommend it to anyone. I considered taking photos but realised that once I started taking photos of everything that was wrong with it, I'd be taking photos all night!! Rundown. Dirty. Loud. Cold. Some of the windows have bits of glass missing, so you actually can not close them. There isn't even flywire covering it so insects can come straight in. Holes in the walls. Filthy walls! It smelt! It was the worst place I've ever seen in my life. Do. Not. Stay. There.

This is the worst accomodation I have ever been to!!! The room had water damage and smelled, with my wife unable to breath. The whole place is in disrepair and the bed still had food crumbs and a stain on the sheet in it from previous people. They apologised and went to change the sheets....this place is misleadingly advertised!!!!

Felt very unsafe here. Stupidly, I did not look at reviews - just saw this had the amount of beds I needed at a decent price and booked it. When we checked in I wanted to leave, but didn’t want to lose our money. First thing we did was check the bed sheets were clean (they were) but that was the only thing that was ok. The outside was horrible, dirty with rubbish lying around. People outside arguing. When we arrived back late at night there was a few ‘dodgy’ people outside. We were very glad to be a group of 4. Inside, the place had writing on walls, very uncomfortable beds and a bathroom that dates back many, many decades. (None of us used the bathroom for fear of the grime in there) There was a fridge in the middle of the room, that mostly blocked the doorway to the bedroom. The best thing this hotel could do would be to knock down the building and either start again, or walk away from the industry.
