If you’re in the Lancefield area for some reason and need a nice quiet hotel for an overnight stop, this is a good option – decent rooms, peaceful setting, and friendly service. And you don’t need to go very far for excellent food as the food at the hotel is top notch! These are motel style units, all single level with individual external access.
I spent a few nights at the Grange on a recent business trip. The location is fairly rural, about 90min north of Melbourne, but that makes it all the more tranquil. The hotel lies on the edge of the small town of Lancefield which has most basic services. There is a nice walking/bicycling path across the highway which is great for early morning runs or walks. It’s only about a 5min walk along the path into the town. The grounds are really nice with lots of mature trees and grassy lawn.
The rooms are fairly basic with all the standard furniture, nothing extravagant. The TVs are quite old (CRT) and in need of updating. The rooms have heat pumps, a necessity in winter, but because they are located near the ceiling, the floor area remains quite cool. The room was spotlessly clean and fairly well maintained. The bathrooms are basic but functional and all rooms have internet access. Although located next to the highway there was no problem with road noise. However the noise of the heat pump turning on and off all night kept me from getting a good sleep (I turned it off after the first night).
Overall I had a fairly pleasant stay at the Grange, and it represents reasonable value for the money. I recommend it to others as an overnight stop and I would stay here again given the chance.
Likes – peaceful, excellent food, running/biking path
Dislikes – needs some updating, noisy and ineffective heat pump
