For the price, the location and room were excellent. The room was much larger and better equipped than various similarly priced places I've stayed nearby. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and having 24 hr reception was also convenient. Can be noisy sometimes eg late nights on weekends, but it is expected given the location. Would stay again.

Facilities like shower & toilet very run down. It took ages for me to get luke war water to take a shower. Staff charged me $30 parking fee because I booked with Expedia & not directly with the hotel. Complaint made to Expedia whom refunded the parking fee. I will never go back to Carlton Lodge again.

Change of owners

We have been staying at this motel for many years when we travel to Melbourne. It has always been incredible with large rooms with kitchenetes. HOWEVER, this time there has been a change of owner and the rooms are small and cramped. Where parking used to be free you are now charged $30 per day which increases the amount paid for the room. We will not return again.

I loved staying here. It's close to the University and plenty of dining choices and the staff are really lovely and accomodating. They really took care of me. Wotif on the other hand are a terrible site. They over booked and didn't send through my booking to the Lygon Lodge, though they charged me and it was only through the help of the hotel staff I was able to get a room. I will never use Wotif again and I would strongly recommend to my colleagues, friends and family to never use Wotif again too.
