I've stayed at Essendon Motel several times and have always been happy with my stay. Reception/management staff are always lovely and accommodating, The building itself is a little older but what youd expect for the price, which is also very reasonable. Nice big digital tv and split system works perfectly as did everything else. My room was tidy and spacious, beds was comfy, secure car park and suprisingly quiet even though its located on a main road. DFO shopping complex is roughly 15 min walk minute walk, Melbourne Airport is a 15 min drive! Would happily stay again

Nice big room. Room to spread out without getting squished. Nice sized wardrobe. Long desk, large bathroom. I was expecting one bed. But got two queens. Love the fish tank in the lobby. The price! Loved the price.

Toilet was broken. Functional but broken. It was dated but I wasn’t expecting anything new. As it was clean and tidy. Parking was a little tight. A lot of angles to negotiate. Thankfully we drove the small car. Would have been a nightmare in the family car.

easy to get to. cafe and restaurants close by.

it is old but not unpleasant.

Because we turned up 2 hours before expected. The staff were amazing. My son needed to lay down as he'd been at work that morning 4am till 3.30. All good.

It was all fine. We did report the leak in shower as flooded. But we mopped it up. Thankyou for our stay. We'll do it again.

There were a couple of small problems with the room when I arrived, but they were fixed promptly. The bed was comfortable, and although a little dated, the room was clean and well appointed. A much larger room than I booked also. I would stay again.

Many stairs, and no mention of them upon booking. Airport noise, although that was to be expected, and I didn't hear it after the first night. No drop box for key (and I wasn't going back up the stairs again to put it in the room).

The Motel was old and daggy, but absolutely fine for our needs and at a acceptable budget in a good location. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean, and the staff was helpful and friendly.

Location was convenient for what I needed to be in town for. Staff were all very nice, and helpful.

Property would have been amazing in its hay day, but is tired and could use a refresh

Our room was huge for a family of 4, even got a spare bed (1 double and 3 single). Heater worked well. Room was clean. Location good, close to venues. Reception was friendly. We enjoyed our stay

Usually rooms have a portfolio/folder booklet that lets guests know what is happening in the area, other dining options, things to do etc, this place didnt. The key and door wasnt confusing but our door was difficult to open at times.

Older units, Nice big room, bed comfy

The lack of cups, cutlery and plates. No hand towels, towels thin and bit small. No welcome packs of information about dining , places etc

Great location and off street parking. Very little road noise. Friendly staff and value for money!

No internet in rooms
