“Nightcap At Skyways Hotel is a straightforward choice for short stays near Melbourne Airport and Essendon Fields; it doesn't pretend to be Buckingham Palace, as one review noted, but it is conveniently close to the Westfield Airport West shopping center. I think its proximity to the airport and family-friendly amenities, like the indoor kids' play area, make it a practical option. It's a solid, no-frills spot to rest between flights or while exploring nearby attractions.”
