Essendon Motel

Dirty and rude

Good service

Thick mould on shower ceiling towel rail falling off the wall poor lighting fan outside bathroom window running all the time couldn’t close broken window cob webs everywhere filthy curtains looked like urine stains two cracks in tv screen couldn’t open draws as they were screwed shut wonky table with a hole in the top microwave with a big dint in the top everything in the fridge froze even our milk and avocado overall a unit painted by a blind man’s dog

Our room is in need of maintenance as the shower screen door rail was coming away from the wall. Was generally looking worse for wear and would benefit from a renovation. But the staff were accomodating and nice.

It was absolutely hideous like something from a movie where they go to a motel to dye their hair and put a fake beard on while hiding from the police. Check in I had to ring the bell numerous times and ended up having to ring them before somebody eventually came out and gave us the room keys. We had two rooms and we went and opened them. The doors a child could’ve kicked them open. There was no lock no security. The rooms were thick with dust and really irritating on the throat. I went out and bought clean pillowcases from the outlets across the road so that at least our heads were on something that was clean. the furnishings were decrepit. The bathroom was very very subpar. There was a fresh roll of toilet paper individually wrapped in in paper but it was wet and so I had to unroll about 3/4 of it to find some dry toilet paper. from reception you could see through to what was once a bar area just completely full of junk. I just I have no words for how vile it was.

You get what you pay for.

Clean and comfortable with free WiFi and free parking on site.

Yes and no. Intermittent internet and I had to ring owner to get password. Should be in room

Absolutely worst place I’ve ever stayed in my life rude arrogant very hard to understand our room flooded because of pipe burst in the other room and my elderly parents had to leave at 3:30 in the morning because the room was full of water around the bed and bathroom When I rang reception to talk to them the next day I basically got told that it wasn’t bad enough that they had to leave there be no no refund. No discussions bad luck. I would recommend that no one ever stays here again. They are the worst people to deal with.

The toilets and rooms are very dated with no smoke alarms they are removed from the roof also bathrooms are very dirty and old

Needs total refurbishment

Room was below standard .

Friendly staff, reasonably clean, good location and value for money.

Wait time to check in. And then walking into a dirty, run down room that had the door hanging off the higne, blood on the wall, broken tiles, leaking taps and a dirty floor made us want to leave. We had no choice as we had traveled 3.5 hours to do business in Melbourne, but if we had anywhere else to go, we would have left. We felt dirty, uncomfortable and disrespected having to stay in this room.

Good one

Basic room. Spa not working, no cutlery of plates/bowls. Rabbit ears for TV reception. Very dated and in need of attention. OK for a last minute stay for the price.

I flew in from America and my partner who lives here did the check in because they do not offer check-in after 10pm and my flight landed at 9:50pm. When I arrived at the location, the room was beyond dirty. The bathroom was dirty. There was a guest in the room next to ours that was up all night screaming and yelling at himself and he was still going when we checked out. Needless to say, after a 37 hour plane ride here I still wasn't able to get any rest at this facility. Very disappointed that my first night in Australia was a very horrible experience.

The rooms were clean, it was close to the airport and DFO, and the staff were very friendly.

This was the worst stay I have ever had at a motel. The booking on wotif.com said you could check until 10pm. Reception closed at 9 pm. The room was covered in black mould. It was filthy and dirty; the walls were covered in brown stains and dirty handprints. Holes in the bath, the floor had chipped tile, making it unsafe for my child to bath. The television didnt work. Nobody manned the reception, called and informed management, said they would call back and never did. Asked for a refund and was not refunded. DO NOT STAY HERE

Disgusting. Do not stay here. Exposed wires, the rooms smell like cigarette smoke and have not been cleaned thoroughly . We refused to stay
