Geraldton Motor Inn

Nice place to stay

No GF options for breakfast even though we messaged prior

Location

Facilities are a bit old and dated

Zimmer geräumig, Parkplatz vor der Tür, gutes Frühstück im Preis inkludiert

Der Straßenlärm kann während der Nacht sehr unangenehm werden.

The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. Good location if you are travelling through Geraldton. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially at breakfast.

Minor road noise.

Room was a very good size, with many unexpected facilities - iron & ironing board, hangers and a huge luggage rack. The bed was king-sized and bed linen was comfortable and clean. There were plenty of towels and toiletries. I was unable to take the breakfast due to having slept in (noisy neighbours) and breakfast cut off time is 8.30am. Had dinner in their busy restaurant where staff were very friendly. The room is due for a little paint touch up job - people can be very careless in hotels.

I know the motel would be happy as they seemed booked out and the restaurant was bustling in all sections, but I just needed some peace and quiet and on my visit, that was not to be. If you are a light sleeper, take ear plugs as the highway-side location means constant traffic sounds.

Unfortunately, the experience was very average overall, but what prompted me to write this was the dessert that was served. The menu advertised an ice cream sundae, but what arrived was simply two very small scoops of ice cream with a tiny scattering of chocolate sprinkles - $14. That is not what most people would reasonably expect when ordering a sundae, and it felt quite misleading (i did bring this up with the staff but they were not interested), especially when it was for my 83 year old father who has been gravely unwell. I did follow this up with emails. Had someone acknowledged the feedback or addressed the concern, I wouldn’t feel the need to pursue it further. I’m not looking for anything unreasonable, but I do think customers deserve accurate descriptions and at the very least the courtesy of a reply when they raise a concern.

The reception staff were lovely and helpful, and they provided good information upon arrival. The room was spacious and comfortable. The location is very good.

The complimentary breakfast was disappointing. Breakfast was served from 5:30am to 8:30am. We woke up early and arrived at 7:30am, only to find what looked like leftovers from 5:30am. I also didn’t find it to be displayed in a hygienic way, as there were no tongs available for the bread, for example. I would go back to the accomodation, but I would definitely skip breakfast there. We ended up going to a cafe. You can easily find much better breakfast options around the area and stay in bed a bit longer.

We have stayed at Geraldton Motor Inn many times over the years and have always enjoyed our stays. The rooms are always clean, fresh and spotless. The food at their Breakfast Bar and their Restaurant are a pleasure to dine at. Service is great, Location is convenient, Atmosphere good and noise level quiet. Good value, over all great place to stay.
