This was a good cheap option not too far from the airport before a morning flight. Expectations…read morewere low, and it exactly met them: institutional hallways, cheap minimal furniture, a tiny bathroom with a water damaged door, and a top bunk we had to make ourselves. Located at an intersection of two busy roads, noise wasn't a problem with the air conditioner running. The beds were comfortable.

We were shocked to learn today that we had to pay for our coffees in the pokies lounge. We've been…read moregoing to Roxburgh Park Hotel for 25 years+ to play pokies, so enjoy a free coffee. We are thinking about boycotting Roxy and going to Sylvannias, which isn't much further and at least you get free coffee. Little bit of customer appreciation goes a long way.

Honestly, there really wasn't anything about this place that truly captured my imagination. Well, I…read moreprobably shouldn't be too surprised considering that it does happen to be a local pub, and many of these local pubs are well, basically for the locals. It is a shame that it isn't too close to the station, and in fact it is tucked out of the way, probably an attempt to avoid my scruitiny. Oh, and the fact that I had to actively search for somebody to serve me puts me off this place as well.

I'm not surprised that there is at one review on the internet (not Yelp though) that begins with…read more'this is the first, and the last, time that I am going to step into this place'. Okay, I could have just opened my review with that statement but if the guy who originally used that phrase in relation with this pub would probably sue me for plagirims. However, due to it's name, I simply couldn't resist the temptation to throw it into mine as well. Anyway, one time it was the first pub you would hit when driving into Melbourne from Sydney, and the last pub you would pass when you where leaving Melbourne (at least that is what they claimed). Anyway, this place surprised me a little bit namely because the pokies room have a wild west theme, so when I step in here the first time (and most likely the last) I looked into the pokies room and said 'wow, that's different'. Okay, it intrigued me, and I must admit that I thought it was pretty cool, but other than that this place was, well, pretty ordinary. Hey, they didn't even have a beer garden (and I like my beer gardens). Still, at least the wild west display was pretty cool.

Stopped by here with a friend for a quick beer as we just missed a train. I'm not sure if we just…read moredidn't see it, but there was no-where to just sit down and enjoy a drink. It was either sit in the pokies area or sit in the TAB area. That's not my idea of a relaxed beer.

We had organised late check in and they were pleasant and kind to deal with when I wS organising that over the phone. They also rang when we landed to check when we would be arriving. The place is so close to Melbourne which is a huge bonus for the price. There was a car park out the back so no street parking. The night manager was kind and helpful. When we got to our room we were impressed. The bathroom was large and lovely - free tea and coffee as usual, nice tv and comfy bed - what more can you ask for? The one complaint I can see people making but didn't bother us is the walls are quite thin so you can hear people around you. (At one point the bathroom coughed haha)

There are a few pubs scattered around the Preston area, and this one is by far my favourite. Being…read morea part of the ALH group means that there is always cheap beers available, and it is away from the main shopping area which means that it is also pretty quiet. Sure, they don't play all of the football games that I would like to watch, but then again there are other pubs I go to to watch the football. Being a suburban pub means that it is also going to have pokies, but that is not really a big deal for me (even though I really don't like poker machines - there are much more sophisticated ways of losing money than putting it into a machine with flashing lights and annoying sounds).

For a sports bar there was very little on TV but the races. We made the most of it but it's probably not worth visiting unless you're keen on gambling.
