I booked in a hurry after my flight and a bunch of others were cancelled. I had to find something relatively cheap, and close to the airport. I wasn’t sure what I was going to get but it was only for one night. Upon arrival, I thought this looks ok, boy was I about to be surprised! The front desk attendant was very welcoming and quick to check me in. I made my way to the room and once I entered I was very surprised, the room was beautiful, it was clean, nicely decorated and had everything I needed. I really couldn’t believe this was a motel!

    I stayed in room 12 on the ground floor which was an internal room but very quiet. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom great with good water pressure. The staff at reception were most helpful with maps and directions and holding my bag for me. There was a good guest laundry on site if one had a need for it. Restaurant/cafe had good coffee and a reasonable food selection. Short stroll to trams and Casino.

    Comfy bed and usual facilities you expect from a motel. Was fairly quiet considering it's on a very busy road. Tram to town or to airport stops nearby. So it's good if you want to have access to the city without being in the cbd.

    I have stayed many times, handy location on Sydney Road on the fringe of Melbourne which gets you onto the Hume Hwy to Sydney. My ground floor twin room has been renovated, ensuite, a/c warms the room, clean and tidy. Free parking, good hot breakfast spread. Value for money, cheaper than the Airport Hotel chains. I'm a regular to Ibis Budget when I'm down from Brisbane.

    This is an old motel but pleasingly my room has had a thorough makeover. I was surprised how good this budget room was. enough space for an open suitcase, desk space for my laptop. No microwave but there is one in a common area near the office. The bonus was free parking underneath. This is gated 10-7am so good security. I was expecting significant road noise but this was not an issue.
