Odkryj pobyt w mieście Carrum Downs

We booked two rooms for four nights over Christmas (originally we had six people but one couldn't come due to a medical condition). One was 'pet friendly' and slept 3 , the other one a no-pet family room that slept 5. Both were pristine, comfy beds, lots of space and storage. Shower a little poky but that's pretty standard in a motel. The sliding door into the shower was dodgy in my room but in the other room it was OK - that was the only issue inside the rooms that I noticed. Total cost worked out to $155 per person between the six or just under $39 a night each which is super cheap for two rooms, especially in peak season. Other reviews state that the traffic as noisy, but not with the window closed and I'm from the country so I would notice! There IS air con. The pool was no Spanish caravan park pool (ie: big!) but it was bigger than normal (about 12 or 14m?) and rectangular (WHY do people build kidney-shaped pools??) so one could do laps, although I did have to do 120 to get my normal swim. Salt water. Spa was useless - cold and couldn't even feel the jets. Gate a bit hard to get into - have to reef the child-proof handle up pretty hard. The location is great - not only was it close to our relatives but also half and hour to Hastings, an hour to Portsea, and on boxing day we drove for just over an hour to another relative in a stunning part of south Gippsland. (I think I'll skip the Peninsula drive on a public holiday next time though ...) Good shopping isn't far away either with Dandenong (the markets there are great), Ikea Springvale, Chadstone and Moorabin DFO all within half an hour, Frankston five minutes and so is the Royal Botanic Gardens of Vic (definitely on my list for next time). My main complaints were about the rules outside: 1. There is no pet exercise area close to the motel rooms. The grassed spaces including the huge waste-of-space of a verge are supposedly NOT for exercising your pet, although the BBQ area is large and totally enclosed which would be ideal. There would even be room to fence off one half of it (pretty much a wasted space as it is with no seats or anything) so pets are away from the BBQ. If I was bringing my dog again I would definitely not stay here without a change to those rules. There is access to an off-leash park out the back of the entire park but it is a long way from the motel which is at the front, and way too far for a midnight or early-morning pajama-clad deposit. It is also too far for anyone (or pet!) with a certain type of disability - pretty ableist. I doubt my in-law's little dog could walk that far on a good day and my father in law certainly couldn't. 2. signs outside the rooms ask that people smoke at least 4m from the rooms, but the ashtrays are within 1m and of course that's where people congregate. Our neighbours smoked in the early morning and late at night and their (normal) voices carried right into the room (as did the smoke when hubby opened the door to ask them to keep q

Our booking experience was professional and helpful. A new, young staff member was fantastic when we booked. Upon arrival we were greeted by two reception staff, one senior who was training another new staff member. The appearance was friendly, the senior staff member stating it was unusual that we had provided our PO Box address, proceeding to ask for a Drivers Licence while she recorded our residential address, without our approval. We were also asked to provide our debit card, despite the room cost being paud in full, in advance. We were informed that an additional $100 would be deducted from our account, despite explaining this would affect our travel budget. We were informed it is ”policy”. The senior staff member proceeded to say that we would get the funds returned about 3/4 days following our checkout and stated that she would get around to processing it the day after we checked out! When we requested a slightly later check out it was a hard ”No” from the senior reception staff member, who frankly had a personality not suited to friendly customer greeting guest services. The room however was lovely. Dinner staff in the function room were friendly and helpful.

Very comfortable stay. Convenient location with the hotel and Dan Murphy’s right next door. Had lunch at the pub and the meal was fantastic value for money. There is also a fish n chip shop and a few other shops very close by. Would definitely recommend.

Highly recommended!!! Great price and have to find fully self contained accomodation. Staff were also outstanding 😃

The location was perfect, in the heart of Frankston. The studio room was a good size and clean upon arrival. I had a very comfortable stay. The service staff were nice, arranged parking and offered excellent directions to the places I inquired about in Frankston.

Rooms are $200+ a night at the moment for a very basic motel room below a pub.... In Frankston... You can get decent rooms in the Melbourne CBD for that price. Rooms have been renovated in the past few years which is nice but grouting in the bathroom isn't clean and is getting scungy. Outlook from window is over the carpark and a muddy river - no privacy if you want to leave the blinds open to let natural light in. The noise coming into the rooms is terrible - can hear everything going on in the corridor and everything happening in the carpark. Even worse is the constant scraping noise from chairs on the ceiling in the pub above (though this seems to mostly stop by about 10pm). Missing some of the little details such as only one towel and 1 drink for a two person/two bed room. Beds are firm but comfortable. On the plus side - location is fantastic if you need to be in Frankston - short walk to beach, loads of pubs, food options and shops just across the road. Free parking is plentiful (but not secure at all), free minibar is a nice touch and room service from pub upstairs is useful. Probably wouldn't consider staying here again unless the prices are lowered. Totally ok for a one night visit, if you can deal with the noise.

Too good

We needed to get out of our house as we are in the middle of getting it painted. After our disastrous evening at the Cranbourne Motor Inn we decided to come here. The only regret is we didn’t book here last night as well. The lady at reception was delightful, informative and accommodating. The room is huge, comfortable with a lovely, homely sofa and big comfortable bed. There is also a roomy tea/coffee station with a fridge. The bathroom is immaculate. A continental breakfast was ready to go for my husband who gets up at 3 for work. Dinner in the cafe was delicious, so it has actually felt like a mini holiday in the suburb we live in! We are super impressed with the whole process and will highly recommend the Settlement to friends and family next time they come down to visit. Thank you for making our otherwise stressful time so much easier!
