There was no elevator, for two elderly women who had to struggle to get their luggage upstairs. The desk clerk directed us to a restaurant several blocks across the very busy street only to find out that it was only open for dinner time. There was no ice available. The room was not very clean. The door didn’t fit very well, and the lock was pretty flimsy. We only felt comfortable by leaving our packed suitcases in front of the door for safety. There were no hand towels or face clothes. We only had one bath towel each. Wi-Fi at our location was practically nonexistent. The only good things about about this location were the price and the working air conditioner. We would not recommend this place.

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

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.

We only needed 1 room with 2 beds, but somehow we paid for 2rooms.1 room was upstairs and 1 downstairs and a distance away Pillows not good, no microwave in room. No glasses for wine or drinks. 1 teaspoon in room which looked like a jam jar spoon. Shower head was broken. Would be ok for overnight stay but not a few nights. We had to go out and get knives, forks and plates. Rooms were not what pictures were lead to belive room would be like. We stayed at other Motels on the way home which was cheaper and more equipped in the kitchen area.
