I have stayed there a few times over the years. I saw that it is showing its age and needs a refurbishment. It is okay as a place to sleep. The chain on the door of my room had been removed. The closet was missing a bar (the kind staff member at reception went and found me one). The bar fridge had no shelves inside or on the fridge door. The TV was an older model, the speakers on it weren't delivering the best sound. The staff member I saw was helpful. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Clive Nov 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Being close to the airport made this motel an excellent place to stay! ##### Clive Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### John Feb 20, 2024 Liked: Staff & service It was clean, good price and perfect location for our overnight stay which is all we needed. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Lyndal May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities 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 Stayed 1 night in May 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Teeanna Mar 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great friendly staff member shes a great asset to your business ##### Teeanna Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Neal Dec 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy access, fairly central, reasonable rates. ##### Neal Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### KEN Aug 17, 2024 Handy to airport.

But intermittent unreliable tv reception and some stations no sevice at all. Antenna or connector should be looked at. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Allecia Apr 21, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Nov 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Peggy Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Staff were great as our plane was delayed and they organised our late check in .

Staff very helpful as needed ground floor room due a disability. Couldn’t find remote for tv and no buttons on unit to turn it on. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jas Apr 10, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Jas Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephen Aug 4, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities While this motel is convenient for being close to major airports, the room left a lot to be desired. The worst features were a number of electrical outlets that were broken and unsafe in the room, and a complete lack of cutlery and only two mugs for hot beverages. Only recommend a stay here if you need quick access to airports prior to a trip away. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Kate Nov 11, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Check in and out super easy and lovely receptionist. No food walking distance, only Chinese (which was good). Shower mouldy, very noisy. Woke up to bathroom full of bugs. ##### Kate Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [MainStay Suites Kew](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Aligned-Corporate-Residences-Kew.h530896.Hotel-Information) > - [Dingley Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Dingley-Hotel.h7990469.Hotel-Information) > - [CitiClub Hotel Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-CitiClub-Hotel-Melbourne.h7861558.Hotel-Information) > - [Easystay Studio Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Easystay-Studio-Apartments.h975579.Hotel-Information) > - [Crowne Plaza Melbourne by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Melbourne.h845390.Hotel-Information) > - [Kimberley Gardens Hotel & Serviced Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Kimberley-Gardens-Hotel-Serviced-Apartments.h913184.Hotel-Information) > - [Lamplighter Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Lamplighter-Motel.h1392642.Hotel-Information) > - [Oros Hotel and Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Oros-Plus-Hotel.h60330117.Hotel-Information) > - [Melbourne City Apartments - Mason](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Serviced-Apartments-Melbourne-Mason.h37882984.Hotel-Information) > - [Comfort Apartments Box Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-City-Edge-Box-Hill.h14864291.Hotel-Information) > - [District Fitzroy](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-District-Fitzroy.h13334922.Hotel-Information) > - [Quest Werribee](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Quest-Werribee.h4789987.Hotel-Information) > - [Lancemore Lindenderry Red Hill](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Lancemore-Lindenderry-Red-Hill.h525522.Hotel-Information) > - [Stillwater](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Stillwater.h21362303.Hotel-Information) > - [Mahoneys Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Mahoneys-Motor-Inn.h12708.Hotel-Information) > - [Charlie's Chocolate Factory-Unwrap Fitzroy's Charm](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Charlies-Chocolate-Factory-Unwrap-Fitzroys-Charm.h105534985.Hotel-Information) > - [Clarendon Hotel Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Clarendon-Hotel-Melbourne.h21729951.Hotel-Information) > - [Summer House Backpackers, Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Summer-House-Backpackers.h6051296.Hotel-Information) > - [Golden Pebble Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Golden-Pebble-Hotel.h8032387.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Melbourne-Little-Collins.h69551401.Hotel-Information) > - [Brilliant Collins Wharf Waterfront Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Brilliant-Collins-Wharf-Waterfront-Condo.h105428892.Hotel-Information) > - [HEMSTON HOUSE, COASTAL STYLE, EXPANSIVE GARDENS & ENTERTAINING, SORRENTO](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-HEMSTON-HOUSE.h110780500.Hotel-Information) > - [City Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-City-Park-Hotel.h7768803.Hotel-Information) > - [Imagine Marco](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Imagine-Marco.h17053183.Hotel-Information) > - [Readyset Townhouses at Mosaic](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Docklands-Serenity.h107043708.Hotel-Information) > - [3-bedroom house in lovely St Kilda with WiFi, AC](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-3-Bedroom-House-In-Lovely-St-Kilda-With-WiFi.h111901750.Hotel-Information) > - [The Navigator with heated pool and spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Perfect-Peninsula-Base-With-Gas-Heated-Pool-And-Spa.h83135817.Hotel-Information) > - [MICHAELS SCANDI ENTERTAINER 2 LEVEL BEACH HOUSE, RYE](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-MICHAELS-SCANDI-ENTERTAINER-2-LEVEL-BEACH-HOUSE.h72611390.Hotel-Information) > - [Lochiel Luxury Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-Lochiel-Luxury-Accommodation.h3525615.Hotel-Information)
