A budget motel. Clean room and quiet location. The bar/restaurant on site was closed but there were a few options nearby. At $128 a night you get what you pay for.

All the essentials (bed, shower) were very good.
Some small things were not great. Random TV in the corner, lights not working, no teaspoons.

My stay was fine. I picked the room as I needed a table to work on. The room description and pics advised I'd get that. I didnt. The Do Not Disturb sign on the door was ignored to drop off towels. I was trying to take a nap at the time, so having someone knock three times to get my attention was frustrating. Property has good parking and is spread out enough to not hear too much noise from other guests. Reception was always in attendance when I went in, and I was able to add another night's stay easily.

Eltham Gateway is quite a big complex. I think it must have become quite rundown but the current owners seem to be doing renovations and upgrading. The rooms are large and beds are comfortable. Great hot water. More thought needs to be put into what is provided in the room eg 1 teaspoon, a hotplate but no cookware etc. The electrical appliances were, I think Chinese, but we were able to work things out. Some light and the aircon switches were in reverse...so if aircon appears not to work just turn the switch off. Our curtain was also not working properly but someone came promptly to fix it. The complex is on a couple of levels and has such potential. It looks like a lot of upgrades are being done cheaply but I can understand the upgrades would be costly. We were in the area for a funeral and the hotel met our needs for shops, cafes and venue. Overall our stay was comfortable and quiet, lovely hot water, and great aircon for the heatwave.

I booked this hotel for my mother-in law…big mistake
Do not book this hotel. The rooms are beyond dirty, mould in bathroom, a toilet seat that was so old and scratched it was hard to sit on. The light switches were broken and sometimes worked
Several other wedding guest stayed there and their rooms were worse. Power points hanging out of the walls. The place is dangerous.
The property also houses people that have come out of prision paid directly by the goverment
Dont book you have been warned
