We visited Melbourne to visit the Flower Show and Expo. The Essence Hotel was within easy walking distance form the venue. There were so many nearby restaurants that it gave us a good choice of different cuisines during our stay. We used the hotel as an economical place to sleep. If you need a more spacious room then maybe this hotel is not for you.
