St Georges Motor Inn

“Great night out in Thornbury.”

Clean and tidy room. Tram station just out the front and train station 600m away. Breakfast was very good in the on site dining room and they offer in room dining for a small extra charge. Easy to find and get in and out of with undercover parking for some rooms.

“Good location close to & not in city CBD.”

We stayed here for 5 nights recently, our room was satisfactory with good aircon or heater if it was cold. Our room had no view. We had breakfast there most mornings & the number 11 tram stop into the city was very close. In a couple of tram stops you are in Brunswick street with lots of eateries. … lisää

We stayed here for 5 nights recently, our room was satisfactory with good aircon or heater if it was cold. Our room had no view. We had breakfast there most mornings & the number 11 tram stop into the city was very close. In a couple of tram stops you are in Brunswick street with lots of eateries. Or right out of the motel & walk to high street for a range of foody places, gorgeous looking pastries & cakes with coffee. The free car parking is a bonus if you drive here. Pleasant & helpful reception staff. Thank you.

Alighting from the Sky Bus from the airport to Melbourne city I was a little perplexed as to the most efficient way to find my accommodation. As I left Southern Cross Station my 'phone rang, St.George Motor Inn checking on my progress. Following their advice I was soon on the number 11 tram towards Thornbury KFC. The Motor Inn is a little old fashioned in a familiar way, a bench runs the length of the southern wall with the smallest television I've seen for some time. The bar 'fridge sat beneath with a small milk carton for my free tea and coffee and free internet kept me connected with the real world. The cupboard included those silly coat hangers that hang in the cupboard and nowhere else. The key was an actual metal key on a plastic keyfob that operated the room air conditioning. A friend calls this sort of cliched layout "the murder motel" but I think someone on the run would be avoiding drama rather than leaving more clues. The bathroom looks newly renovated. I had booked a 'budget room' and was expecting a single bed but the room had two single beds and a queen so my luggage and laundry rested on the spare beds. The laundry incurred a small extra charge but I thought $3 for a few grams of washing powder was a bit silly. Two vending machines provide late night snacks at an affordable rate. I was disappointed my bar 'fridge struggled to make ice. The staff were polite, cheery and unobtrusive, even when reminding me I had missed the 10:00 checkout.
