Happy with the stay.

The outside looks terrible but the room was clean and comfortable and the bed was good. Good value

Great stay. Quiet and comfortable and friendly helpful staff. Could not ask for more. Good location for exploring the inner west from. Very reasonable price. Slept until the alarm, cannot get better than that from a motel.

It's a good property for the price but the external surrounds are in need of a makeover.

A decent property for the price. The externals surround good do with a makeover but the room was clean and functional.

very close to the light rail

Good value

Ok , the Lodge is being renovated.

Not withstanding there was outside Reno’s going on, it was not a pleasant place. The rooms had no glasses, microwave was outside in a mess room/lounge set up. Beds were aweful and long black hair over the bed. Shower was good. AC worked that’s a positive. Pricy for what it was. Won’t stay there again. Thought we were scammed when we rocked up at the place.

Good access to transportation, indoor courtyard

Very happy with our stay

No food nearby. Receptionist didn't speak english

An interesting hotel - more of a motel. It looks very sad from the outside, the signage does not light up, and the porch is rotting. Check-in was simple but uneventful. Note: You have to book with reception if you want your room cleaned or any towels exchanged. Since COVID there is no breakfast but there is a shared kitchen area where you can use a microwave. The room was simple and basic and was very tired with rotten wood in the wardrobe and the bathroom unit. Talking of bathroom there were enough plug sockets to run a small business off of. There was no screen or blind on the bathroom window so it had to stay closed or you would be revealing everything to the shopping centre next door. Thankfully our room was in a corner so did not open into the internal courtyard which for all those rooms that did was a giant window which they pulled a curtain across at night as can be seen from the photo's. This is more of a workers residence than a hotel for tourists. On the plus side it was well located and had a 24 hour garage next door.

Very conveniently located

Check in was rude. Room was in desperate need of renovation. As soon as you opened the door the smell of chlorine was overpowering. Hairs found in the bed. What appeared to be blood on the bathroom wall. Have 7 bed bug bites and counting. Avoid at all costs!

Accommodation is basic but it does the job. It was close by to an event I was attending which is why I booked it. The bed was fine. No issues. Decent sized studio room. I booked a double room which was meant to have 1 x Queen bed, but I was given a room with a Queen bed and a single bed. bathroom was a good size. Shower pressure was fine. Lighting was good. However, no bathmat was supplied which was not good when you get out of the shower and water drips everywhere. It is not a luxury accommodation, but it is clean. Next door to a 7/11 which is handy. Staff were friendly. My only concern was the lack of parking when I came back late at night. I was assured that the accom came with a car spot, but there were no spaces. The only space was a very small / tight spot next to the tree. My medium size car really didn't fit, but I had no alternative but to try and squeeze myself in as best as I could. I suggest each space has the room number written in it so everyone has a designated spot.

Poor customer service skills - Very rude

The staff where friendly and helpful. The court area in front of rooms was nice to use when we arrived. The bathroom had been updated but the shower already had black mold growing all the way up to hip height.

Everything was fine

Near to station

Affordable

We paid for a deluxe room with balcony. And the receptionist gave us a room that was a dungeon. I went and told him he had made a mistake, but he gave us a room, on the main road with the worlds smallest balcony. The lights in the bathroom had electrical tape over them, ceiling had huge water damaged paint bubbles, a light blub was sticking out of it,s wall fixture. Place was a dump and should not be on the Wotif website. I am learning very quickly you can sell your soul and put any motel on your website as long as you get a fee for doing so. Place was a dump.

Good value for $. Secure free parking a bonus. Courtyard "kitchen" with cutlery, plates, microwave etc a plus.

The fridge is a bit noisy rm217. On the whole it is fine. Close to the light rail, which is handy

The stay was nice and clean, although we can smell cigsmokes from another room, had to keep the window close all the time. Staffs and room wards are great with pleasing personality. Overall the stay was good, hope they will tighten smoking rules, making it more environmentally friendly.

Fairly convenient for Summer Hill station. Staff very helpful. Rooms good sized but facilities tired.

Clean

The back door of our room had no lock, just a chain! The website said there was a light breakfast available but there was not, citing covid as the reason but there are no longer restrictions. Communal area in middle of all rooms, noisy early morning and night with people sharing their facetime conversations with the entire hotel it seems.

Quiet and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Will stay here again.

Although the exterior of the Garden Lodge looked un- promising and rather run down i was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the rooms and helpfulness of staff. A no frills room but it served our purpose and the bed was very comfortable.

Ok for a night, room was clean. Having free parking was great. Bit noisy though.

Great position and rates. Helpful staff.
