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. ##### VINCENT Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Neil 10 Nov 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The whole experience was not good , room smelt of urine not sure if human or dog as it seems that dogs were allowed in rooms , the rooms are so bad that they should not be allowed to sell on any site I tried contacting Expedia as I will be asking for a refund ![WTF](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f11d8dd4-3829-4a2a-822e-2d22cd4df366-1762738669276.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Could not close ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0fc319bb-5e2e-4682-b4a6-8412cbe10cde-1762738669671.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Alfoil over smoke detectors ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/48148a7b-5568-48bc-9185-c82cfaef9b70-1762738668816.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![No real security ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f049e366-7819-4cd0-a5e4-0c4c077e2eb9-1762738669874.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Neil Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nigel 26 Jun 2025 Liked: Staff & service Receptionist absolutely amazing helped us with our issues outside of the motel and very friendly would recommend a stay thanks from room 23 ##### Nigel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 25 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I couldn't have been happier with my stay. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rodney 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Property is old but clean ##### Rodney Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ashley 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was run down witch was fine whatever but the level of filth everywhere was highly concerning will avoid the place in the future ##### Ashley Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 25 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good location ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alan 7 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The place so run down and smelt of smoke in the room . the bed side tables had cigarette burns on them. the shower door was hard to open and closed and couldnt get the tv to work for awhile not all the free to air channels came up frustrating, ##### Alan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joshua 27 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Room was run down could do with a refurb fridge was noisy no bath Mats 1 dining chair for 2 people lots and lots of smoke butts outside only 2 pillows one each overall I only paid just over $100 per night so for the price I can’t really complain only other thing was we had a random guy knock on our door looking for someone then proceeded to know on every body else’s doors ##### Joshua Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bailey 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness Just happy to stay for a couple of nights ##### Bailey Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Oscar 16 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was quite place ##### Oscar Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lyndal 26 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities Essendon motel is in a great location, just off the Bulla Rd exit.
