“St Georges Motor Inn provides a practical base in Thornbury, a little removed from Melbourne's city center, but well-linked by the tram right outside. I found the onsite cocktail bar and dining add a layer of retro charm. It's a solid choice, particularly for families or those seeking accessible accommodation with that direct transport link.”
