What guests think

At Ringwood Lake Inn, guests describe an older, good-value motel with spacious rooms and comfortable beds, friendly staff, and a convenient location near shops and the lake, tempered by dated areas, occasional traffic noise, and maintenance lapses.

Cleanliness is frequently praised, though several reviews cite bathroom mold or mildew, dirty tubs, damp carpets, or overpowering air freshener, with some calling for a deeper clean. Room features such as in-room microwaves, toasters, and spa baths in some rooms are appreciated, but guests also noted missing items or thin bedding and sporadic issues such as leaking taps, faulty lights, or very hot water. Facilities are basic, with parking outside rooms and no on-site breakfast; many rely on nearby dining and shopping. Expect simple, budget accommodation with convenience and comfort, but uneven upkeep.

Conveniently located on Maroondah Hwy but very quiet. No road noise. 8 min walk to Karralyka theatre and 15 min drive to Yarra Valley. Large room, large bathroom. Microwave and toaster a nice bonus. Aircon/ heater effivient and quiet. Polite and friendly check in staff.

Overall we have stayed in worse . The toilet system was loose off the wall. Mildew around shower glass and around the top . Was too frightened to use spa didn’t want to see what could come out. We did try to tell attendant when we left at 8:50 ( office was suppose to be open by 8am) but office door locked so left key

Jet bath was great. Cold tap in bathroom had no hard stop though. If you kept turning after trying to turn off the tap it would start going again.

The room was clean and bed comfortable. Good parking outside room. The bathroom fairly newly renovated. Water dangerously hot, l think above safety level. The TV ON switch beside bed lamp switch was not obvious to elderly eyes, but staff advised. The standard lamp and one bedside lamp not working. Only one fork in cutlery.

I stay here often when travelling for work to Melbourne - Easy to get, local parking is a big bonus, good bed and shower. Having a microwave helps with dinner options. Nothing fancy but good value for a couple of nights stay.

For a short stay it is very convenient as has almost everything you need in a room, as most don't have a (microwave and a toaster) kettle, with tea, coffee & sugar, 4 small milk capsules, but no biscuits unfortunately. And no snack bar or breakfast provided at all either.

Rather disappointing based on the beautiful photos on the internet. Rooms need an update soon. Mould between the bathroom tiles, brown rusty water when you fill the bath. Noisy and just not a nice stay. Will not book here again.

Stayed one night due to work. The room was very clean and functional. Linens were crisp and I had everything I needed. The compendium needs updating though - one of the featured restaurants closed several years ago. I could hear the traffic from Maroondah highway (was in a room close to the road), but it was not a deal breaker. Good wifi and easy checkin.

Not far from Ringwood station, this older style looking motel was a pleasant surprise stay. Check in was easy, and the room was way bigger than I thought it would be. The mattress was very comfortable as were the pillows. It was probably one of the best beds I've stayed in. Noise didn't bother me, but it is situated along a highway. Shops and food were nearby and didn't have any complaints with the room at all.

A nice place to stay. However, housekeeping attempted to open the door at 9:30am, knocking I.e. half an hour before check out. The knocking kept on till exact 10:00am asking me that that was the time for housekeeping to make the room. Felt way too pushy expecting, rather forcing, to check out even before the check out time. That was not a pleasant experience.

The manager/owner of the property went above and beyond to assist in refunding my money, even though I had booked a non refundable rate. I had booked the or to stay during the recent power outage after a terrible storm. We expected to be out of power for several days. Thankfully it was only out 2 days, but I had booked longer - the owner happily assisted my refund.
