Just 6 km from central Melbourne, St Georges Motor Inn offers a restaurant, a 24-hour check-in service and free WiFi. Free 24-hour truck and bus parking is available directly outside the motel, as well as free parking for cars inside the motel.

I was really impressed with the size of the room which included a sofa, dining table, fridge and a beautiful bathroom. They have plenty of parking, and it's right by a tram stop if you're heading into the city. The chap who checked me in and out was super friendly. The bed was comfy, the room was clean, quiet, and warm (if a little dated). What's not to like?! I would absolutely stay here again

    Treated so well upon arrival. Greeted with a complimentary cocktail, which was delicious. Staff were so friendly and attentive that we were made to feel valued with every interaction over the two days. Arriving after 6pm means there was free parking outside.which was a bonus. .

    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.
