“Alexander Motor Inn is a budget-friendly option in Essendon, directly across from a tram stop; proximity to public transport makes getting around Melbourne easy. I like that they offer accommodation for both families and business travelers, with flexible spaces that range from deluxe rooms to family suites. A bit of maintenance might be needed, but the location is ideal.”
