Oscar, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Essendon motel is in a great location, just off the Bulla Rd exit. The rooms are quiet, despite being close to the freeway. The blankets/doona are light, so for a cold night we needed to run the heating all night. Recommend bringing extra blankets if you can.
Lyndal, 1-night trip

Teeanna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Bailey, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Drug dealers out the front, people using drugs in the room next door (doors wide open), police on site. Very unsafe.
Emily, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Carpet condition not very good
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

just for a one night stay will be fine
LUKE, 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.

8/10 Very good

Being close to the airport made this motel an excellent place to stay!
Clive, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff friendly. Room average . Noisy neighbors. Smell of smoke in room from downstairs smokers.
Hazel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property is rundown and is in serious need of renovation or detonation, when I last stayed there be it circa 2004 a client I consulted too accomadated here, nothing has been changed since then bedding, curtains, bathroom, tea and coffee facility, never stay here again, I should have realised when the accommodation is so cheap,
Peter, 1-night trip

Very good
Graham, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Beds were comfy, water pressure was good but the state of the shower was awful - mould, repair & maintenance of the bathroom is desperately needed. Doors need a good scrub as they were grotty & the entry door handle & lock were quite flimsy. Lots of potential just needs a lot of maintenance.
Allecia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Tv didn’t work. Spa/Bath didn’t work. No hairyer. No hooks to hand towels. One high, hard pillow for me. One low, lumpy pillow for my husband. No blanket, just one thin cover, so we were cold. Bathroom sink was gross. Great location but spend a bit more dollars. and stay elsewhere.
Brett, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was good. But intermittent unreliable tv reception and some stations no sevice at all. Antenna or connector should be looked at.
Mark, 1-night trip
