Excellent location with everything you need in easy reach.
When we were checking out we found a few things under the bed. Obviously the cleaning had not happened under the bed for awhile.

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!

From the second we arrived the staff were friendly and welcoming. We were allowed an early check in and enjoyed a cool refreshment from the mini bar in reception. I would definitely stay again and can recommend to anyone looking for a quick stop over.
