Yep! It's pretty tired but the rooms were clean and the staff friendly and helpful. If you're planning on spending time in your hotel room then this is not for you. If all you want is a bed at the end of a busy day/ night then it's hard to beat value for money.

BEWARE there is NO restaurant,bar,playground,secure parking in minimal, spacing is ridiculous and "smoking area" is a chair next to hotel rubbish bin under tripping water. The rooms are clean but stuffy, staff are friendly, lift is a bit dodgy windows don't open.

Well my stay at city park hotel was pretty bad. I think the hotel made a lot of promises at the booking stage and never lived up to it. I was told that my room included a complimentary continental buffet breakfast but there was only cereal available for breakfast and the reception informed me that if were to pay $3/-... More

Staff very friendly and helpful, but the hotel and the rooms need major renovations. The shower was over the bath and the tiles were cracked, the basin had an enormous crack in it and the taps couldnt be turned off completely, dripped all the time. The restaurant food was passable, the chef come waitress barperson, did her best, thank goodness... More

To start with this was a last minute booking. My boyfriend and I needed to stay near the city on a Saturday night and this was one of the only places with vacancies. From the pictures and websites it looked nice enough, clean, modern etc, so I thought I would pay more than the motel style place that was closer... More

This hotel had been recently been renovated but with no pictures on the plain walls appeared very stark and bland. (To be fair they may have just finished painting and had not got around to replacing them.) The roller blind did not work so you had to hock it up to get light into the room. However, the hotel gave... More

We stayed as were attending a wedding close by and it was cheaper to get a room than pay for a taxi to and from Doncaster. This is not your high end luxury hotel and it does not advertise to be, but it was clean friendly and execllent value for money. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and we... More

A one night stay after visiting the casino and AFL footy match. The service at reception was friendly, but unfortunately overshadowed by the awful state of our room. A large crack in the brickwork, a substance smeared on one of the bed sheets, and some sort of gelatinous mass in the middle of the floor (probably a food source for... More
