Clean and Convenient

I was impressed by the shared bathrooms, which were sparkling clean whenever I used them. They were not busy, and I found it to be a seamless experience, especially being a hygiene enthusiast.

Convenient Parking Solutions

Although the hotel parking was full on a busy Friday night, I found a large, well-lit public car park just across the road. It was a stress-free solution and made my stay even more convenient.

I had a great experience at this hotel! The rooms were updated in a lovely modern style and were quite clean. The location is super convenient being right next to the Essendon train station, making travel really easy. However, the shared bathroom situation wasn’t ideal for privacy and the dining options could have been better. Overall, I really felt like it was a good value for what I paid.
