“Economical; good public transport to the CBD.”
I selected the Pathfinder Motel because I did not want to drive in Melbourne CBD, and there is a tram line which passes right by this motel (the tram stop is right across the road). The tram has frequent services, and takes you through the heart of Melbourne CBD in just 30 minutes. The hotel offers fairly economically prices, and the rooms are well equipped. The outside is recently painted. Off-street parking is available for guests. Note: To catch the tram to the CBD, you need a "MyKi" card, available from 7-Eleven shops. Tram travel is free within the CBD.

“Overall, the stay was convenient due to the good location, but cleanliness issues and poor service significantly affecte”
The location was very convenient, with two tram stops nearby making it easy to get around. There was also plenty of parking space available, which made our stay hassle-free.

“I recommend pay some extra dollars and stay somewhere else.”
No room service and no manner of contacting reception from your room which was only available for a limited number of hours. Receptionist or owner barely spoke English at all. Advertised as supplying free internet and television, yet internet not available and television did not work with no picture and no functioning remote control. A small balcony that could not be accessed and was actually quite dangerous with glass in the door having break lines through it. The pool which was one reason why I chose to stay there in order to do physiotherapy was unheated as expected but very dirty with murky water so gave that a miss. No hidden large waste bins which was viewable in carpark and no mention of long-running trams right outside property. Seriously, I have stayed in some cheap places in many locations purely for financial reasons but this one was "whoa nelly", more a backpackers lodge than a motel.

The shower head broke, no attempt was made to fix it . The pool was dirty ,base was black, we were told it was fine to swim in. Cars in parking area that were being slept in or broken down . The cars looked like they had been there for a very long time and were taking up parking space.

Room was nice, bathroom room was also nice. Even though it was next to main streets, it was very quiet.

“I enjoyed my stay and would come back again if in the area.”
Small, basic but nice. Nicely laid out, clean and presented. Even had 4 sachets of Moccona coffee, which was a pleasant surprise.

“Well maintained and quiet, with easy access to wherever you need to go.”
The room was clean and well laid out, especially for being a corner room with an irregular shape. I appreciated that the tv was positioned so that it was easy to see from the bed and that the shower had an actual door as opposed to a curtain. It was also very easy to find and get to and from the CBD. The staff were very friendly and professional but didn't push conversation, so I was able to check in and out easily. I use a cane so I also appreciated that the stairs had railings on both sides and were split so as to not be super steep - I was able to manage with care.
