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.

KEN, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
James, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very run down property, on many doors you could see that handles had been forced, some were actually broken. Beds were terrible, sunken and worn out, broken tiles in bathroom, shower screen door jambs, curtains hanging off rail. Sheets were clean, but towels were past their use by date. Nice TV but Wifi kept dropping out do you could not stream on it. General cleanliness around the property wasn't great. Would not stay there again, glad it was only one night!
Gregory, 1-night trip

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

Neal, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Black would in shower and food splashes on the wall. Generally dirty everywhere. Tv is also broken in the room I was assigned
Brian, 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

8/10 Very good

Very old style motel but very spacious which was great
