Shower was good, wifi was good. The owners/staff were nice people. The room was dated but tidy and functional Good for an overnight stay not too far from the airport.

Staff were very friendly and approachable and ready to help, but it was the location which was excellent for this iconic inn and motel. Close to Essendon train and tram services. For a weekend to see the AO it was very handy. The rooms were clean and tidy, had everything and the beds were comfortable. Thankyou

Excellent staff. Alot of outside light at night that comes into rooms but for what you pay I can live with that.
