Guest Reviews

- Nerolie (8/5): -
- Clive (7/5): -

- Leigh (10/5): -
- Guest (10/5): -
- Amy (9/5): -
- Nadine (7/5): Had great experience, would definitely stay here again but will check the fridge 1st - Room was good size

Located close to everything I needed Fridge didn’t keep anything cold
Freezer didn’t freeze
- John (8/5): -
- Andrea (4/5): - Town centre location
- Voon (8/5): -
- Soon Hoi (10/5): Will come back and stay in our future trip - Clean room, complete with microwave and plates, etc. Nice sunset view.
- Vera (7/5): Very nice place to stay . - It was lovely and clean , central to town , cafes and restaurants. We were charged twice . Once on booking.com then when we got to the property. The staff said they’d refunded us there and then but it hadn’t come through by the morning. I spoke to another member of staff who said it should be through shortly. It still hadn’t come into my account 24 hrs later. 😬
- Nurshad (9/5): - The location was so nice and perfect on mynway from melbourne. If 0nly the pool was heated
- Erika (9/5): Great value for money base for exploring - Lovely location short walk into town Nothing
- Terry (8/5): Good - Close Nothing
- Clive (10/5): Fabulous! - Super happy with the last minute booking.
- Robert (8/5): - Ideal for a night or two stay. No staff on site, was sent a code by email to get in to the room.
- Chris (8/5): -
- Lynton William Kelrock (8/5): Clean and convenient - Automatic check in A person arrived and asked me how to book in for the night. No staff were present.
- Louise (7/5): -
- Thomas (7/5): -
- Ken (7/5): Pleasant - Good views All OK
- Paul & Mary (5/5): Passing through and you want to stay one night no problem - All was passable, room was antiquate and clean for a trades person or commercial traveler very good. Room was out dated and reminiscent of the seventies and eighties. There were other traddies in the other rooms. It appeared that the owner operator likes to do deals with road working companies and house them in his motel. Large bitumen trucks parked on the street and lots of high viz vested guests. It did not inspect our stay but it does give a impression that the operator has problems filling the motel. needing to make deals with those type of industries.
- Brett (8/5): -
- Russell (10/5): Great set up. - Very clean, well presented room, good amenities and location, with simple room access system ideal for after hours arrival. Great value, thanks Nil
- Evelyn (5/5): Wouldn’t recommend - Location was good The traffic road noise was bad , trucks and vehicles going up the hill at the back of the property. The interior was very tied. Didn’t meet any staff as it’s a digital entry .
- Elisabeth (9/5): -
- Esther (10/5): -
- Camila (10/5): -
- Terence (7/5): -
- Luca (7/5): -
- Mark (7/5): - Very Good Room upstairs great view easy check in overall good Bathroon taps where verty noisy when turned on taps dripped all the time
- David (9/5): -
- John (8/5): Too many holiday makers on public holidays. - Location was quiet and view was okay. Nothing about the motel, but Merimbula town doesn't have enough eating places on public holidays - foo many people, all restauranta booked out.
- Elke (9/5): -
- Debra (9/5): Great value for a short stay. - Comfy beds. Room was equipped with every thing needed. Good wifi. Communication was speedy and accurate but check in and out was done remotely. Seeing a staff member would have been nice but to be fair they were only a phone call away!
The walk uphill from town could challenge some.
- Anne (8/5): Nice unit, slightly dated but very comfortable - Lovely unit, really comfortable beds. A cleanliness issue was very quickly resolved. There's a lot of road noise although it did quieten down overnight.
- TONY (5/5): Great town, very central will certainly be holidaying there in the future. - Locality was good, room was very clean, cleaner did a great job, layout of the room very good. Parking was difficult, would not like to see full tenancy.
The motel was not staffed like my last stay.
I wont be coming back, what happened to good old fashion service?????
The view from my room 6 was"the stairs to the level above."
- john (7/5): -
- Ellen (10/5): -
- Kevin (1/5): -
- John David (10/5): Retro chic at a good price. - It has a beautiful view over the town. You can walk down to town center where there are lots of restaurants. If you like modern places, then this place isn’t for you. It is clean and well kept but in the 70’s.
- Johnson (4/5): It did not meet my expectations - I liked the location, proximity to beach. I am allergic to dust, and I found out that the pillow cases were dusty. The first two nights were not good at all. The pillows themselves were massive, not soft and too high that it didn’t meet sleeping comfort. Although there was a check regarding any needs of materials in the room, but there was no single cleaning up through out my 7 days stay in the room. I expected that there should be everyday-cleaning up of the room, kitchen and accessories, and bathroom. No staff availability whatsoever. At least, there should be a staff at the reception who can attend to customers in real time, probably during the day time.
- Mary (8/5): Enjoyed, would stay again - Great location, Nothing
- Jane (9/5): - It has swimming pool. The location is very near to the beach. The kettle looks really dirty but otherwise, our stay was really comfortable.
- Sheila (9/5): Perfect place to stay. - The location was excellent.
Jane was extremely helpful and very pleasant .
Would certainly recommend.
- Jennifer (7/5): Close to town, clean and comfortable. - Good location Was a bit strange to have no contact with any staff during the whole visit including checking which is automated.
- Emily Mary (8/5): -
- Tim (8/5): Good location and convenient to get around and plenty of eateries - Clean, spacious, comfortable, nice view. Some parking spots can get a bit tight.
- sueann (10/5): - Spotlessly clean, ceiling fan was a bonus! spacious room and shower had great water pressure.
Really enjoyed our short stop and highly recommend nothing
- Thomas (6/5): Need to renovate the toilets - Booking.com No staff to ask for extra towel and toilet rolls
- Walid (10/5): Amazing comfortable and beautiful - Everything was just organised and easy going Nothing
- Simon (8/5): -
- jacob (8/5): -
- peter (10/5): -
- Bernadette (10/5): Cosy motor inn at affordable prices and staff who go above and beyond - The owner advised us which beach to visit to avoid the north easterly winds. He was very friendly and helpful.
No need to check in or out at reception due to pin lock on door.
The owner changed the dates of our stay because it was forecast to rain, so helpful and accommodating. Everything was great. Nice pool, close to Main Street, comfy bed and TV with all the apps. Friendly staff and great value for money.
- Eric (10/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Burak (8/5): If you can't find a place to stay then you can choose it. - Location was fine. Room and facilities are good. Bath towel had women hair on it. Pool was terrible! Definitely was not clean. The filter was not working. Insects, leaves, women hair and white long thing was like men sperm. Terrible experience ever!
- Jasmine (8/5): -
- Simone (9/5): all good. Clean and value - Clean, code sent through to my mobile for check in, so no stop required at reception. Kids had a swim. Our room was close to the road, so there was a little road noise. That could be avoided by choosing a different room.
- Ashton (8/5): -
- Ayleen (9/5): - Geräumiges Zimmer
Einfacher Check-in
- Daryl (7/5): -
- kathy (8/5): -
- Wayne (8/5): Good stop for 1 or 2 days - Good location, walking distance to town a d a wonderful fish and chip shop A bit pricey but apart from that all good
- Wolfgang (8/5): Enjoyable stay - Nice clean motel. The room and bathroom has a kind of a 70's vintage style, but everything is nice and clean and in very good condition. Nothing feels aged. We enjoyed our stay. The staff is very friendly.
- Craig (7/5): - Room was really clean and the beds were comfortable. I didn't like the no staff on site check in, had I known that, I would have stayed somewhere else. I always like to ask questions about places to see and good places to eat. No level car parking, which could be an issue for some people as well.
- Ella (8/5): -
- Pam (9/5): - Clean, bed made up, quiet
- Muhammad (8/5): Awesome - Ocean View Hotel stay was quite comfortable. Location of hotel is very nice and gives you nice morning view. Wash Basin tap was leaked.
- Steven (7/5): -
- Michael (7/5): -
- MICHAEL (9/5): -
- Casey Lee (8/5): Truly amazing - Placement States oven view but unfortunately upon booking it doesn’t seem transparent by stating the room doesn’t overload the board walk or ocean
- Issa (4/5): -
- Linda (9/5): Comfortable , clean and great location - Clean, greet shower , biscuits-quality and plentiful , clean towels , easy checkin, curtains that blocked out any light , excellent room service , good location within walking distance of shops, easy access to beach , excellent air conditioning and fan , enough space , excellent soap / shampoo/ conditioner and body lotion products Water came in under door and wet the carpet
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Sai (6/5): -
- Helen (7/5): - room was small
- Yichun (7/5): - clean parking
- Kali (8/5): -
- Anna (7/5): Pretty basic. Expensive. Great location and pool - The pool was really nice !
Really great location. Super expensive for what it is (we did go in peak time so i understand).
Pretty basic.
I left some belongings by accident and contacted them to ask if they could please leave my things as I could collect a few days later and never heard from them! They could’ve just replied and said no if it wasn’t possible - I would’ve understood.
- Mick (7/5): Great location and direct view to the ocean from car park - Great location, cool retro vibe with updated features. Laundry and dryer facilities. Dryer free of charge, You can’t pick your neighbors. Had a baby next door crying all night followed by the father walking out and smoking in front of my door. Had to go out there and tell him. Carpet was a bit damp and as a result allergies played up.
- Adrian (8/5): -
- Patrick Mark (7/5): -
- Leeanne (6/5): Comfortable for 1 night but needs designers/architects/builders - Good comfortable clean accommodation for 1 night and location is walking distance to shops. Has a mini kitchenette & small TV. I struggled locating suitable modern accomodation in this town. I haven't been here for 20 years because of their refusal to update holiday rental properties here.
The bedroom decor is stuck in the 80's and needs a major overhaul, the carpark below is annoying, stairs difficult to navigate, narrow walkway and noisy from other guests, please rejuvenate this area it desperately needs updated accommodation. Why can't Merimbula accommodation evolve into 2026 conditions? every single property is 80's style. Not returning. Plenty of tourists are here from Melbourne & Sydney surely some of them can build, design & renovate... time to update and move with the times!
- CORNEL MANUEL (8/5): -
- Leanne (10/5): A great few days relaxing and unwinding - Location was fantastic Smelly cupboard under the sink
- Ann (8/5): Room clean and comfortable. Great for an overnight stay. There is no reception staff onsite, access to room is via digit - The Motor Inn has everything you need for an overnight stay. Room was very clean and comfortable.
- Keers (6/5): -
- Matthew (7/5): - Clean and simple
- Jock (5/5): As we are travelling around Australia this would be the least liked property. We realise its peak season but not value f - Average No ventilation eg open windows
Limited cutlery ( no sharp knife)
- Vinod (7/5): -
