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 ### 8/10 Good #### Clive 11 Nov 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### John 20 Feb 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 ### 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. 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Teeanna 10 Mar 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Neal 5 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy access, fairly central, reasonable rates. ##### Neal Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### KEN 17 Aug 2024 Handy to airport.

Room average . Noisy neighbors. Smell of smoke in room from downstairs smokers. ##### Hazel Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Paul 21 Oct 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The sheets were clean. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Room was good. 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Allecia 21 Apr 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 6 Nov 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Peggy 16 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Staff were great as our plane was delayed and they organised our late check in . Bathroom needs a renovation and door to room is hard to open as touching ##### Peggy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Edwin 10 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities i liked the ambience and quietness of the place, the beds where ok and enough space to move. there some small bugs which i think may need to be sprayed. All in all its a nice place ##### Edwin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jas 10 Apr 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacqueline 16 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 1 night stay as had early morning flight so was what we expected for the price. 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephen 4 Aug 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 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kate 11 Nov 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 > - [Bronte-an absolute beachfront property- recently upgraded](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Bronte-An-Absolute-Beachfront-Property.h22823711.Hotel-Information) > - [Capsule Hotels Thailand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thailand-Capsule-Hotels.d178-aaCapsuleHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Melbourne City Apartment Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Adina-Apartment-Hotel-West-Melbourne.h49245786.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads St Kilda Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Base-Backpackers-Melbourne-Hostel.h1690276.Hotel-Information) > - [Craig's Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballarat-Hotels-Craigs-Royal-Hotel.h6375093.Hotel-Information) > - [The Sebel Melbourne Docklands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Sebel-Melbourne-Docklands.h6819425.Hotel-Information) > - [Veriu Queen Victoria Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Veriu-Queen-Victoria-Market.h88838086.Hotel-Information) > - [Aussie Escape Apartments - Skyline Collins Tower](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Urban-Modern-Apartments.h18340801.Hotel-Information) > - [Apartments Inverness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Apartments.d1607-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Hotel Chadstone Melbourne MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Hotel-Chadstone-Melbourne.h33764279.Hotel-Information) > - [Lancemore Crossley St Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Lancemore-Crossley-St.h45716692.Hotel-Information) > - [Crown Promenade Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Crown-Promenade.h2858735.Hotel-Information) > - [Dorsett Melbourne ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Dorsett-Melbourne.h89699120.Hotel-Information) > - [St Kilda Accommodation - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-St-Kilda-Accommodation.h43007149.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Costa Adeje](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Costa-Adeje-Adeje-Hotels.0-n6047464-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > - [Comfort Apartments Royal Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Royal-Gardens.h425401.Hotel-Information) > - [Villas Dubrovnik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubrovnik-Villas.d553248635126030638-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Albania](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Albania-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d2-tBeachHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [The Motley Hotel Richmond, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Motley-Hotel-Richmond.h89155523.Hotel-Information) > - [Adelphi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Adelphi-Hotel.h43731.Hotel-Information) > - [Park Inn By Radisson Melbourne Carlton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Carlton-Hotel.h40162080.Hotel-Information) > - [Lanson Place Parliament Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Lanson-Place-Parliament-Gardens.h103799356.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Flights from Seeduwa - Katunayake (CMB) to Chennai (MAA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cmb/maa/colombo-to-chennai) > - [Flights from Aberdeen (ABZ) to Galway (GWY)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/abz/gwy/aberdeen-to-galway) ### Cars > - [Car hire in Otley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Otley.d182601.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages ---
