Charbonnier Motor Inn

Pool Location Room size Disabled bathroom

No free to air television! Interior feels old - needs a paint, re carpet etc Disabled bathroom impossible to access shampoo etc - too high even for abled users.

It was clean and comfortable

The breakfast could have been better. The room was too cramped and choices weren’t great

Location is perfect for a halfway stop to the north coast. Room was lovely, very comfortable bed and view over pool and trees. Restaurant meal was delicious. I didn't use the restaurant for breakfast, although menu looked delicious. But I really appreciated the continental breakfast which was included in the room cost.

Nothing really, very happy with everything.

Easy to get to and plenty of parking. Lift up to upper rooms. Lovely balcony to relax on.

I felt the price was a bit high for the type of accommodation.

Restaurant served excellent food

Nothing

Staff were excellent and restaurant food was delicious! Room was clean, beds comfortable and I don’t normally use shampoo and conditioner on the wall in shower but I did this time and I want to know what it was because I loved it! 10/10!!

Couldn’t fault it!

This is my second time at this accommodation. King Suite # 201. The reception staff again is lovely. They are quick to answer and resolve any issues. My room is one which is closest to the main road, having the benefit being not having to drag the suitcase too far. The downside is a lot of noise from the traffic. Because this accommodation is off the main road, it’s easy to find, but also more traffic in navigating out and around- school zones, road works and traffic getting in and out of singleton in general. Accommodation on the other side of the city Centre would encounter less traffic. This particular suite has a combined kitchenette and living area with a separate bedroom. There is one bathroom with toilet. The balcony can be accessed from the living room as well as the bedroom and has a table, chairs and an ashtray. Some days I had to keep the balcony doors closed due to neighbouring cigarette smokers. As my last visit, is neat and clean (no odours) but rundown. Most notably there is a large rip on the couch which really should be replaced. The lift is old and rattly, but functional. The copious dusty artificial flowers in the foyer really should be changed, which would really help brighten up the space! The kitchenette is equipped with a bar fridge, microwave toaster, coffee machine and kettle. There is no cooking facility in this accommodation. Having a suite means there is a kitchen sink and more bench space compared to the smaller rooms. Cutlery, tableware and drink wear are provided. There is a very small built in wardrobe with additional pillows and blanket, iron and ironing board, two dressing gowns, which I have rarely seen in accommodations. The only mirror in the whole place is the half mirror in the bathroom. There is air conditioner and TV in the living room and a separate one in the bedroom. Free Wi-Fi is mostly functional but not always reliable, ranging from 16/0.2, to 17/17, 9/2, 4/1Mbps upload and download within 5 minutes, sometimes also dropping out. Surprisingly, still better than the far more expensive Quest, where the Wi-Fi was not usable as it was mostly not able to connect. There is complementary breakfast every day with bread, peanut butter, Vegemite, honey, two types of cereal, milk, fruit juice, and the odd apple and muffins. Instant tea and coffee. On the premises there is also a swimming pool and a tennis court, the latter of which looks like it has not been used for quite some time. There is a coin-operated laundry within the facility. I had some minor issues during my stay. The toilet half-flush button does not work. The fridge is not cold even on the coldest setting. The showerhead was putting out a dribble on maximum. I mentioned the last issue on my third day and they replaced showerhead within a few hours. The staff is always friendly and willing to help. Overall, a reasonable place to stay for the price. If you have a higher budget, I would recommend Quest. Otherwise, this is one of the better places in the mid price range.

Very friendly staff

Very disappointing with rooms especially value for money 💰

Last time I stayed my room had dirty dishes and wet towels. This time the the bar fridge is broken. It took an unreasonable amount of time to find an alternative
