While the Sheraton Melbourne in the central business district was a 10/10, I would rate this a 6/10. If the smarmy, bespectacled guy at reception at Noon on December 13 had been nicer I would give this place a 7 but I cannot stand haughty, dismissive customer service at any place, let alone at a mid-range airport hotel. I'd still recommend if you wanted a quick layover hotel but if you have even a day in Melbourne, I recommend staying in the city (or picking a Marriott or Hilton property where staff are trained and consistent)

I chose it for its proximity-literally a 1 min walk across the street from the terminals. We booked an executive king suite and also paid an extra $A 109 for an early check-in as our flight from the U.S. arrived at 6:30 am. We were able to get a room around d 9 am which gave us a chance to freshen up before heading into the city after our 24-hour journey. Our room at the end of the hall on the 6th floor (654) had a curved wall of windows overlooking T2 of the airport and couldn't have been any more convenient. The main uber stand was just across the street as was the airport sky bus into town. Our king bed was firm and comfortable and the room was very quiet with a lot of blackout shades. The single sink bathroom had a tub and much too small shower with no shortage of water flow. It was perfect for our brief visit and we booked breakfast with our rate and the generous buffet ($A50 if bought ala carte) had a wide variety of hot food, juices, breads and cooked to order eggs.

Just minutes from…read morethe airport and with free transportation, this airport hotel was the perfect lodging for my layover.My room was quite comfortable with a Jacuzzi tub, cable, and a luxurious mattress; after backpacking throughout Indonesia, all of this was a dream come true. Other amenities that made this hotel a winner included a very nice sports pub and an indoor pool that had some amazing lighting at night. The hotel's restaurant also had one of the best buffets I had seen in ages. It was a seafood bonanza, and I was quite happy that it had an international flare so there was something for everyone. Finally, the staff was very friendly and helpful, making my stay and transfer to the airport trouble free.

I have stayed here a few times and would reccomend it to those that need a cheap nights stay close to the airport. The Staff are quite friendly and helpful. The rooms are pretty basic but it's really the only kind of motel you want to stay in for a night or two. The rooms have always been tidy upon arrival as well. There rooms have air conditioning, Television/DVD player, tea and coffee making facitilies and a bar fridge. there is no microwave in the room. There is not too much that surrounds Ciloms. There is a shopping centre a couple of kilometres down the road and last time i stayed there they offered us a drop off pick up service to the shops which was extremly handly as the last time i went it cost me $25 return in taxi fares. the shopping centre has a woolworthes and other specialty stores. The Hotel offers room service and have menus in each room. There is a restuarant/bar on site as well so you can sit in there and eat dinner. I haven't found too many businesses that deliver food around that area but Melrose Pizza has always delivered to Ciloms for me. The food on the menu isn't all that great. they have a pool, sauna and gym on the property for guests as well. Most rooms come with a balcony as well.

Well, I…read moreprobably shouldn't be too surprised considering that it does happen to be a local pub, and many of these local pubs are well, basically for the locals. It is a shame that it isn't too close to the station, and in fact it is tucked out of the way, probably an attempt to avoid my scruitiny. Oh, and the fact that I had to actively search for somebody to serve me puts me off this place as well.

They do offer a shuttle but you need to sign up in advance since it is a popular request. Although it is super close to a major airport and we could see planes landing out our window, the room was surprisingly quiet.

If there was an option for negative star ratings this place would be a 5. We had a meal that cost…read moreover $120 for four. Fish & Chips was $32.00. I swear it was Basa from the freezer at Coles. The Chicken Parmi had a choice of one sauce "Napoli". The mozzarella topping looked & tasted like plastic, the sauce was so watery it was akin to a small serve of soup & the chips were cold. I swear they were cooked the night before & even then weren't great. Pasta dishes were between $25 & $36. I got packet linguini topped with a jar of some sort of white sauce which was absolutely NOT Carbonara & exactly 4 frozen prawns. One choice of burger, which was tasteless & cold on the smallest Brioche bun I've ever seen. That cost 27.00. Even the garlic bread came out of a packet. The beer garden is a sad smoker's lounge & that's about it. Don't think they've emptied the ashtrays for a week but that's OK as most of the patrons just seem to prefer to stub out their butts on the ground. Staff were cold & unwelcoming & so were many patrons. On the bright side if you're a big drinker, they seem to serve people far past the point where they ought to have been offered a coffee. Shame really as from the outside it's all heritage charm but the inside seems to be only inviting to those who want to get legless sit in front of a row of poker machines losing their pay packet.

I found this pub when I was on my way to an engagement party one Saturday, though because I had to…read morego to the party I couldn't suddenly change my plans and go inside. Mind you, when I left to go home a couple of friends asked me if I wanted a lift, to which I politely declined explaining that there was a pub that I discovered that I hadn't had a beer in as yet - being this pub. Well, there isn't all that much that really stood out about this pub though - it is what you would expect from a suburban pub. There was a TAB, pokies, and a restaurant, as well as an outdoor area out the back, which was full of smokers (which doesn't make it a really enjoyable experience if you are not a smoker, and I would hesitate to call it a beer garden). The pub itself wasn't bad, but it is certainly not one that I would travel all the way out to Essendon just to visit.

I was relieved I was able to make a late check-in and a receptionist was still there, as I was leaving a tour group and had a farewell dinner that same night. Room was clean, bright, and quiet. The bathroom is a bit small and awkward (mirrors are outside of the bathroom/shower unit, and the sink is on the other side of the room), would have been nice to have a power outlet beside the bed as I use my phone for an alarm clock. Just a word of caution there is no elevator if you have large bags, but I think if you have to make an early flight this is probably the best option when on a budget.
