I recently stayed at this wonderful property during a quick trip to Melbourne, not realizing it was Grand Prix weekend. The property is exceptionally clean and incredibly well-maintained for its age. The bed was very comfortable, and the reception staff were friendly and welcoming. The location made the city easily accessible, adding to the overall convenience. It’s a fabulous choice for anyone looking for comfort and charm in Essendon, and I’d highly recommend it!
