Park Squire Motor Inn & Serviced Apartments Overview
First Impressions
The Park Squire Motor Inn & Serviced Apartments sits on Flemington Road like it knows exactly what it’s doing — and honestly, it does. This four-star property has that rare quality of being both practical and welcoming, which you don’t always find in Melbourne. The moment you pull up, you’ll notice the free parking right on site (trust me, this is gold in Melbourne), and there’s something reassuring about a place that just makes sense from the get-go.
Location That Actually Works
Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re close enough to the city center to feel connected, but far enough out to avoid the chaos. Flemington Road puts you in this sweet spot where you can easily reach the CBD, but you’re also near some genuinely good local areas that most tourists never discover. The couples who stay here seem to get it — they’ve rated the location 8.3, and I mean, they’re not wrong. You know what’s nice? You can actually walk to decent coffee shops and restaurants without fighting through tourist crowds.
The Apartment Experience
The serviced apartment setup here is where things get interesting. Each room feels more like a temporary home than a hotel stay, with proper kitchenettes that actually work (not those sad mini-fridges with a hotplate). I’ve stayed in places where the kitchen is basically decorative, but here you could genuinely cook a proper meal if you wanted to. The space feels thoughtfully designed — not cramped, not wastefully large, just right for settling in whether you’re here for business or leisure.
What Sets It Apart
The staff here seem to understand that travelers want efficiency without feeling rushed. Check-in is smooth, they know the neighborhood well enough to give actual recommendations (not just the tourist traps), and there’s this sense that they’re running a tight ship without being uptight about it. The recent guest rating of 8.5 for location tells you something — people aren’t just satisfied, they’re genuinely pleased with where they’ve ended up. The property has this lived-in quality that makes you feel like you’ve made a smart choice rather than just booked another generic room.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t the flashiest place in Melbourne, but it’s the kind of spot that just works. The combination of apartment-style living with hotel services hits that perfect balance for people who want independence but don’t want to deal with the hassle of a full rental. You get the space to spread out, the freedom to come and go as you please, and the peace of mind that comes with staying somewhere well-managed. Plus, that free parking situation — in a city where parking can cost more than your restaurant bill — makes this place feel like you’ve found an insider secret. It’s practical and well-designed, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
