8/10 Very good

Good location
Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Book somewhere else if possible

It was ok, but extremely dated and in need of renovations. I wouldn't have been comfortable staying here solo, door lock was dodgy, and it felt a bit dodgy in general, but it was ok for two mates needing a cheap nights rest.

6/10 Good

Just happy to stay for a couple of nights
Bailey, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

just for a one night stay will be fine
LUKE, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible place, unless you're a junkie.

No glass at all in one window frame. Just a flyscreen stickey taped to the frame. Rooms look nothing like the pictures. Beds were all different. Sheets were old and had dirt on them. Bugs throughout the room. Surfaces were not even clean. Carparking was good. Location is withing walking distance to shops. But rooms are not worth more than $50 a night.
Jas, 1-night trip

The room was clean and tidy, very spacious. We got a room upgrade at no extra cost, we were impressed. We would definitely stay there again.
Michelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lady at the front desk was kind and helpful. Went out of her way when we had a problem with a tour bus not showing up. Was able to get an Uber to meet the tour bus somewhere else and did not miss our tour we planned many months in advance.

Very scary and unsafe. Domestic next door at midnight screaming cars flying off. Rooms dirty. Do not stay at this motel should be closed down
Joshua, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very convenient to stay at before an early morning flight
Jacqi, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The Essendon motel reception staff agreed to a one night refund because we left the premises due to the very dirty unhygienic conditions. Spit on the walls, dirt that looked like blood. The fridge had no shelves in it. We were told to arrange the refund with Wotif. Wotif said to sort the with Essendon reception. We rang the receptionist and were told they would ring back but never did. Very disappointed
Susanna, 2-night trip
