This place is uninhabitable and should not be operating. Filthy milk, I think, stains splashed on the wall, the aircon was dusty as f#%% on top, the milk (I went and bought my own mug) was a year out of date and curdled, all 3 quilt covers had cigarette burns and stains, looked like they weren’t washed!! The curtains had filthy big stains on them… for god sake buy some new ones!!! The smoke alarm was hanging open with no batteries not even operational. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep last night, there was no way I was lying on those beds!! Who knows what those stains are!!! Ugh!!! I had a friend bring me down a bedsheet and comforter so I  did get two hours sleep.
AND THEN!! Three cop cars rocked up at 3am, there was a domestic downstairs!!! 
Definitely won’t  be staying here again!!

Oh my god where do I start??? Absolutely filthy, don’t know how they’re still operating!!

How anyone could be expected to sleep here is beyond me! Sheets dirty, towels grey! My friend booked this, I should have read Reviews first! How health authorities let this filthy place operate is beyond me! We did not stay the night, just couldn't! Bathrooms grubby, oh just shocking!!

Filthy run down dump! Health authorities alerted!

Last weekend I was in Melbourne performing at a Festival in Footscray. The Festival  Organiser had  booked me and my husband,  abd two other performers into the Palms Motel in Footscray. 
We went into our room. A very musty smell assailed our nostrils. There was only one bath towel, so my husband went in search of a second towel. The room did not appear to have been cleaned. The sheets and pillowcases were gray and did not appear to have been washed. The bspathroom was very old and again, dirty. I wished I had not taken out  my thongs. No way could I have stood barefoot in that shower.
There was a flat screen TV but I could not work out how to turn it on.
The best were long having space  (open wardrobe) and a full length mirror. 
There were two grubby plastic mugs and tea / coffee bags.
My husband returned. We decided we could not stay and checked out (along with the other two performers who felt the same way about the motel as us ).
Unless you are desperate, find alternative accommodation. It upis definitely not three star accommodation.

A Dive!

Absolutely disgusted as written to the booking agent who should remove this listing immediately. 

Good morning booking .com staff, I would like to voice my concern about this property I will departing today after just one night. I arrived yesterday and paid in full upon arrival for 3 nights. I proceeded to the room to drop bags to make my way to Melbourne City. On return to the room I made a decision to vacate on waking. I pulled back the bedding and refused to sleep on the sheets that are stained. I have found numerous hairs (from others than me) on the sheets, it appears that the sheets have not been changed. In addition to this there are numerous concerns about the legislated requirements that relate to emergency evacuation procedures. I am also tired because of lack of sleep due to the worry of the maintenance of the property the major concern is the electric supply cut off / cut in (operated by inserting door key tag). It has been flashing whilst glowing orange the entire night. I also tried to contact reception as I had people talking on the balcony until half way through the night. I am totally disgusted that this property is even listed as 5/10. I will make a point of reading reviews and carrying out a thorough room check anytime from here on out when and if ever booking again through your site. 

I will be seeking a refund for the remaining nights and returning to a property some 100kms away that I know is clean and safe. 
On the refund side of things the following 2 nights were refunded without fuss.  


Should not have got out of car

I am apalled such an establishment is   allowed to continue a service to the public in the state that it is in. I booked this motel through expedia and feel they too should have a responsibility of care to the consumer. This motel is not worthy of patronage, it is like commissioned  housing where rooms look to be occupied by long term tenants with dirty sheets and clothing hanging out of windows. I did not sit on any of the furniture while their, we entered the room and exited immediately it was inbearable. The smell and dirtyness was not worthy of $135.00 a night. It was that bad my husband and I got back from the function we were attending to vacate immediately in the night for a one hr trip home at 2.30am. Lesson to self, always read reviews before booking anywhere.

Palms motel footscray

I wouldn't stay here again.

This motel is legit dodgy.

There's a lot of junkie guests and I was woken up by a domestic happening. 

I drove out after checking out and there's just a bunch of trashy people constantly hanging around the place and getting up for their morning ciggie staring at you as you go.

Also, the room was just so depressing, honestly. You could genuinely feel like so many bad things have happened in this place. It was horrible.
