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!

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 Especially as the nearest alternative was a dingy outdated motel (but they did have a private bathroom!).
