Very clean! We did not initially park at the hotel car park because it was full on a Friday night. However, there is a large, well lit public car park across the road. Happy with the amenities. The lady at the front desk advised us that most restaurants closed by 8pm. But we found that Two Fat Greeks was open and serving food at 9pm, delish!

paper thin walls, uncomfortable pillows, bed way too light (moves around during the night), outside of that nothing to complain about, room service was great

8/10 Very Good

So. #1 it is a very cost effective clean new property in a fantastic Essendon location. I had to get my head around there being communal shower and toilet facilities, and no wardrobe, but once I travelled back in time in my mind to my Uni days, it was a very agreeable stay and I would definitely stay there again. Especially as the nearest alternative was a dingy outdated motel (but they did have a private bathroom!).

Convenient stay in Essendon.
We arrived the day before i booked hotel - my bad! But hotel staff had it all sorted in no time and got us a room, saying they would sort out with Hotels.com. we were very grateful! Had dinner in the bistro (lovely food and good choice of wines by the glass). Late in the evening the aircon started making horrific noises and they tried to fix it, to no avail. They relocated us to another room and we finally got to sleep! The staff at this pub were just lovely from meet and greet through to bistro staff and night manager. Thanks all. Totally recommend despite mixups and aircon fail.
