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

Super close to the airport with airport shuttle available 24/7 - very helpful for those with late night/early flights. Absolutely loved that they have a central tap (instead of adjusting the hot/cold water taps). Very helpful staff and it was a pretty big room too.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Lovely clean room with small ensuite. Exactly as in pictures. On main road but was not disturbed by traffic noise (was not in room at front of property on the road though). Had a car and while there was no parking onsite, I was able to find timed street parking without too much difficulty.

    Right in the middle of the CBD. Clean, comfortable, well equipped with everything you need for a short stay. Much more space and better value than a motel room in CBD within $50 of the price. Oh yeah the water pressure & hot water in bathroom are excellent.

    Location. A 2 minute walk from Fed Square and Flinders Street. Proximity to the CBD, art district and hosts of restaurants within 5-10 minutes walk. Tram rides through CBD to all sights are free. Connectivity. Tram, trains, buses or self drive, very convenient. Free parking is a big bonus. Accommodation: 3 rooms, neat and clean, functional, compact. With marvellous views of the Fed Square and MCG and Rod Laver Arena.

    We’ve bern here snd enjoy the jazz themed rooms and decor. Quite spacious and comfortable rooms, very clean bathroom. The cafe has a range of beers and makes great G&Ts (and good coffee in the morning) and the toasted sandwiches are awesome. Was very good value for the city location - on a booking.com special anyway.
