The room was very run down. Tape over cracked floor tiles. But the room was clean, as was the bathroom. I was pleased to see the bed was immaculate. Parking was a breeze.

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.

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.

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.

6/10 Good

It is an older motel. 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.

Room was good. But intermittent unreliable tv reception and some stations no sevice at all. Antenna or connector should be looked at.
