Guest Reviews
- Angie (4/5): - Too noisy…too old..needs to be refurbished . Fridge noisy had turn it off at PowerPoint.No exhaust fan in bathroom,just open window with the fly screen torn and open. A very..very tired motel for the price . I could have got the same room for $260 at the Holiday Inn.Sat Night. Aberdeen $220 for a very below average room.
- Joseph (8/5): - Close to my venue. Bed was comfortable.
- Leslie (2/5): - Mould, carpet stains, and PowerPoints not working.
- Bruce (2/5): - Well below standard, old n obsolete, and nobody at reception for 20 minutes when we arrived. Very disappointed, especially for the $165 that I paid
- Joanne (8/5): - We were a family that stayed 1 night and needed a place without frills. The room was clean and the staff were lovely.
- Jason (10/5): - You get what you pay for. The place is old but... It is clean, the bed is comfortable, the air con effocnet and quiet and did I mention it was clean? Bill was an excellent t mmhost when the Ferry was three hours late. Nothing seemed a bother so excellent customer service as well. As an over nighter you can't fault the place for value for money.
- Kristie (2/5): - For some reasons everything just seemed dirty and the room had a smell to it
- Chris (2/5): - It is a joke. The laughing stopped when I remembered how much we paid. Multilingual staff have limited English. One uncomfortable chair in the room for two people. Dirty, spider webs on the ceiling, no bathroom exhaust fan. The cleaner uses the reading lamp electricity wall plug and does not plug the lamp back in. Three glasses. One side plate, no other plates. Local pub was shut. Really old SD TV so I doubt if it can be used for streaming video. No wifi unless you go to the office to ask for a user name and password. Then there are also a few negatives, like $205 per night for a room that is unfit for purpose.
- Leonard (4/5): - The guy at reception was ok but still wanted our credi card even tho we booked thru wotif The whole place is old, dilapidated it the bed was good and it was as clean as they could make it given it’s age
- Deborah (2/5): - We didn't even stay 10 minutes. The bathroom was mouldy and the toilet leaked. The was old, too red and smelled damp It was unfit and unhealthy for my young child to sleep there. Late on a Friday night, I had to quickly find another room at my own expense. Do not stay here.
- John (4/5): - Needs cleaning, maintenance, updating and painting
- Savanah (6/5): - Good price for what it is the staff where lovley and even let me check in early
- Peter (4/5): - Old and poorly maintained
- Robyn (6/5): - Good, central budget accommodation.
- Max (10/5): - No
- Laura (10/5): - Nothing flash, but comfortable and clean. Walking distance to all major venues, beach, pubs and shops. Would stay again.
- Randell (6/5): - No electric blankets, TV (remote) overly complicated, and no directions on the use.
- Joseph (4/5): - Laundry facilities advertised but not available. Could not get a ground floor room.
- Tim (2/5): - Probably the worst accom I have ver stayed in. The only thing your paying for in location. That’s it. Filth, will never recommend.
- Pat (4/5): - Good location but that was it
- Stanislaus (8/5): - Not bad for overnight stay in emergency
- Montanah (4/5): - Way too expensive for what you get I wish I had read the reviews. I didn’t expect much being it’s a motor inn but was highly disappointed, especially in regards to the cleanliness
- Neil (6/5): - Very old and showing it.
- Greg (8/5): - Suited my needs for my trip
- Tony (2/5): - Already reviewed
- Verified traveler (2/5): Noisy, run down, in need of severe renovation - The good: -aircon worked -bed and sheets were clean -TV worked The bad: -Extremely noisy from traffic on roadside -rusted fridge -shower water a trickle going from extremely hot to extremely cold when turning on the tap -shower curtain bolts falling off -toilet dirty with brown stain -front door has 2nd handle on from previous busted lock -manager writes down peoples credit card details on paper unsecurely leaving them risk to credit card fraud and abuse as well as u secure destruction -venue looked like a trailer park trash drug dealer hotel (some scary customers staying there) -2 single beds pushed together and not proper queen -fridge very noisy -wifi not working -shower taps patched up with tape -bed too short and legs hang over the end -reception not even open in morning at 1030m
- Christie (4/5): - The room was quiet and we had a good night sleep. The location was quite convenient to get to and from, and parking was easy and good. The property itself was badly in need of renovation and updating. It started in reception with a grubby, dusty, dirty, unkept, rundown feel to it, and didn’t really improve. The room was quite disgusting and well below standard for the price. It was grubby and only barely cleanish. The walls were grubby. The bathroom was an unattractive DIY job. We were left with 1 toilet paper that was not even a new full roll. The cups and jug were dirty. The carpet was stained and dirty. The curtains were faded badly. The access was up external stairs at the rear of the building like service stairs. There was a 2seater couch that was dirty and had a cheap synthetic cover over it that was dirty and stained. Several light switches didn’t work. The phone in the room was disconnected. The property was unattended overnight with no way to contact anyone for anything like toilet paper. It really was well below standard for the price. I honestly wouldn’t pay more than $75 for it. We had to pay $275 as it was a long weekend and we couldn’t get anywhere else after we unexpectedly got stranded in Geelong. We just got back from India and had better rooms there!
- Helen (8/5): - Water was leaking from the toilet onto the bathroom floor, no milk in fridge
- Mary-Anne (4/5): - Host did his best to check when power restored. Property was overpriced for room that needed repairs done.
- Cheryl (8/5): - Certainly a little retro but comfortable, clean and the owner was very helpful and pleasant.
- Heather (2/5): - We were refused entry to our room by a security guard as the hotel was under closure so we were unable to stay which on seeing it we were probably lucky but didn’t get a refund from them or wot if even though it was their fault. So don’t trust either company
- NoelSylvia (2/5): - MET BY SECUIRTY GAURDS ON DAY OF STAY TO ADVISE THE LEASEE HAD BEEN EVICTED - NO ADVISE FROM WOTIF OR ABERDEEN MANAGER. SPENT NEXT 2 HRS TRYING TO ARRANGE ALTENATIVE ACCOMODATION AT 5.00PM FRID
- Michael (2/5): - Constantly disturbed by police and security before being evicted early. Bad communication skills. Amenities that didn't exist. Just a horrible interrupted non relaxing stay. Will never use again
- paul (2/5): - Disgusting! Never stayed in any motel like this.Women at front desk was rude, pubic hair on shower floor, disgusting stains on mirror in bathroom, mouldy smell in room and someone was using our air con.unit outside our door as a clothesline, room was nothing like photos on website.Was that disgusting we returned key to key box and stayed somewhere else 3 hours after we booked in. 3.5 stars, you've got to be kidding. Wouldn't send my dog there.
- Alan (4/5): - The room was musky & when we turned on the air conditioner it caused a reaction to my asthma
- Jodi (6/5): - Property serves its purpose but it was very old and the bathroom was so old and disgusting that I couldn’t use the shower. Also wasn’t impressed to see the owner standing outside my door at 9:50am waiting to pounce on 10am checkout. I couldn’t actually walk out the door until he stepped aside. So rude and god forbid I left at 10am on the dot. Wouldn’t stay there again
- Kevin (2/5): - disgusting, dirty, costly, hardest beds, dirty floors, no chain for security, mice in the roof, paper thin walls.
- Chris (4/5): - Well, the location was good. The premises is old and tired. It is clear there is no concern about facilities, safety and refurbishment. We were not expecting the Ritz but at the same time we were expecting a moderately respectable premises. Zero stars!
- Cathy (8/5): - Basic accomodation in a convenient spot.
- Jason (4/5): - This accomodation is very budget and old, but with a reasonably high price tag for what your getting
- Kylie (2/5): - The property was run down broken and unkept! The only plus our room had a fairly new air conditioner that worked well but otherwise we were not impressed
- David (6/5): Overpriced and outdated - This place is straight out of the 1950's. Tiny room, bed as hard as a rock, shower curtain type shower in an equally small bathroom, too small to dress in. No exhaust fan, winder mechanism to open the bathroom window was broken. Carpet was dirty and the room was musty. Furnishings look like they were picked up from hard waste. AC was good and it was quiet (no road noise). Linen was clean & fresh. TV worked. One tiny UHT milk handed over at check in for 2 people to have a coffee. Paid $205 for a night - ridiculous overcharge.
- Amanda (6/5): - Ants in the room Very dated and run down bathroom Beds were clean and comfortable
- Sophia (8/5): - Well, okay for a night, slightly mouldy smell in the room
- Rhonda (8/5): - Staff were fantastic .... couldn't do enough to help and were efficient and caring. They really helped when my partner lost his mobile phone and went to some length to look for it.
- Stephen (6/5): - Very average facilities
- Mark (4/5): - The room was truly over priced for what it was. $265 a night for a very ordinary room, old bathroom on a noisy road.
- Lance (2/5): - Was not value for money, run down in dire need of work shower was terrible not enough water pressure
- Paul (8/5): - Service was good but the bed was very hard
- Julie (4/5): - Door of fridge had a lot of rust on outside. Bathroom needs gutting. But…bed was clean and nicely presented.
- Maxine (4/5): - Very dated, surrounding area appalling. Very second rate.
- Scott (8/5): - Nice place to rest your head
- Eleni (2/5): - Very very dirty. Visible dust, dirt, grime and rubbish throughout the room. Definitely not confident to have a shower without shoes on.
- Richard (4/5): - After paying an absolute premium for the room, we were confronted with an outdated, poorly equipped room, that leaked water. My son has blood on his pillow that was not his!
- patrick (4/5): - Pretty tired and rough
- Dan (6/5): - Completely average in all aspects
- Richard (6/5): - Clean room but overall needs some tender loving care
- Simon (6/5): - The building is 50 years overdue for some TLC. It needs to be knocked down and rebuilt- felt like a glorified tent. Look eslsewhere.
- Leigh (2/5): - We found a syringe with a needle attached under the bed, about 30cm from the edge. It did have the cap still on it but not impressed. Told the female owner/manager and she asked what we would like her to do. I asked for a refund on the room and she said no. She then accused me of putting the needle there so I could get a refund. I asked what she would do and she said that because nobody got hurt, there was nothing she would do. No apology was given and she was not concerned about me giving a review saying what had happened. She said that they are a budget motel and this is the clientele they normally get. I said that she should perhaps put that on their website or advise the booking companies so that people know they are likely to encounter syringes. She has banned me from staying there, as if I’d ever book there again!
- Kim (8/5): - Clean but very old
- Bronwyn (8/5): - Not much on a busy road , to much noise
- Steven (2/5): - Very ordinary for the price you pay, I’ve stayed in a lot better properties for less. Sign said “office hours 7:30am - 10 pm” doors were all locked up at midday….???? Won’t be staying there again….!!!!
- Sandra (6/5): - The manager showed us 2 rooms to choose from. We picked the one at the back of the property. Parked ( free) our car right near our room. The room was quiet with nice bedding, good amenities. Great new heating/ cooling. The property is old but our room was well priced and suited us for the overnight stay.
- Gary (6/5): Basic accomodation - A bit dated and showing such signs, Was clean & basic..
- Regina (8/5): - Room and service was great, but the outside of the building is showing it's age.
- maree (2/5): - It was said on wotif refurbish, rubbish, rusty fridge, rotten woodwork, dirty and grimy bathroom, didn’t even shower cos felt dirty, so wotif you need to do your homework before you say refurbished and clean,
- Paul (4/5): - Very old not up to date,drafty and cold,cockroaches climbing on the walls and overall only basic cleaning done at this motel.Ledge in bathroom hasn't been cleaned for who knows how long,very dusty.would not recommend
- Jessica (4/5): - Good location but facilities and cleanliness was poor
- Paul (2/5): - The lady at the front desk was very rude and unprofessional toward us
- John (8/5): - Position to main city area was good. Reception nice and friendly. The bathroom facilities a little dated but suited my requirements. I had stayed at the venue many years prior. Would stay again
- Carolyn (2/5): - Very outdated needs to be totally renovated.
- Robert (6/5): - It could have been cleaner inside as I found a used tissue and some broken glass inside.
- Claire (4/5): - This motel is extremely old and run down. Whilst the bedding, sink, toilet and shower were obviously clean, the furnishings and carpet are so old and mismatched, they give the room an overall dirty appearance. The price for this motel was also extortionate. Although we stayed on a public holiday, when prices are often inflated, we paid $240 for a room for one night, that was honestly worth about $80.
- Jacqueline (2/5): - We booked online with you going from obviously outdated pictures when we arrived and saw the room it smelt the bathroom was disgusting we could not stay so we booked another hotel I want a refund
- Verified traveler (2/5): Beware and be warned - Not only was the motel old and in need of a serious renovation, the sink and shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. The bed was very hard. Very noisy from inebriated guests outside on their phones and talking at midnight. Didn't get much sleep.
- Amy (4/5): - unfairly represented in the photos online. Old and dated with no attempt to make presentable. Sign advising to lock door with a chain but chain barely secured to the wall. Packing boxes EVERYWHERE inside and courtyard looks like an abandoned grave yard! Keep scrolling....
- Madeline (2/5): - Over priced for what you get, also disgustingly stained cushion on the bed, couldn't open window no fly screens
- Tristan (6/5): -
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good for overnight - The Motor Inn was good for an overnight stay.
- Brett (6/5): - I believe it is time to replace the rusty bar fridge. This does not give a good first impression of the care taken by the owners and Im sure wouldn't meet the required standards
- Helen (8/5): - Clean room, really comfortable bed, good location. Good value for money. We just needed a bed for the night and it was great for that.
- Jarrod (4/5): - There was nothing I liked about it. It felt like nothing had been updated since the 70's. Definitely not worth $220 a night.
- Nina (6/5): - Property was very old, the fridge had rust at the bottom of the door, location was convenient, it was within walking distance of shops, cafes etc
- David (8/5): - Close to city centre
- Susan (6/5): - While in a convenient location for us the rooms and surroundings could definitely do with some updating. Particularly the bathroom which was very much in “original” condition and VERY small!
- Geoff (4/5): - The property was very old and tired and was certainly not worth the money it cost us for one night on New Year’s Eve
- Gwen (4/5): - We were extremely disappointed in the facility and ended up not staying there. Photos and advertising very poor
- Lynda (8/5): - It needs updating
- Verified traveler (4/5): Run down - Lovely staff Very run down and overpriced
- Sharon (2/5): - The first room we were in had a water leak in the bathroom which spilled onto the carpet and valance of the bed. We changed rooms the carpets were stained and dirty the bathroom was tiny with no exhaust fans, tiles falling off, shower curtain needed replacing. Rooms were in bad need of renovations it was one of the worst motels I have ever seen. Over all the place was disgusting was very unhappy to stay there will never stay there again. Horrible motel nothing like it was advertised over the net. Would not recommend this horrible place to anyone. The place had a bad odour horrible place.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Walking distance to Murphy’s hotel. Great food
- Verified traveler (4/5): Disappointing ... - This motel was disappointing, it was old and in very poor condition. It needed a lot of updating and general maintenance. However, the bed was new and fairly comfortable but the room and bathroom was very small. Reception was closed when we arrived and we had to go away and come back when it re-opened. Overall it was not a great experience.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Ideal for what we needed close to football and cafes, room clean and tidy definitely use again
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were absolutely lovely, and my bed was very comfy but motel was a bit out dated
- Verified traveler (2/5): - It was an absolute hell hole. Never again will I trust the net for photos.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The property was centrally located for our needs. Parking was off road
- Sze Lai (2/5): - Owner very not welcoming.Upon arrival, as it was booked by my friend, I called her to confirm some details but owner got irritated.Places were so old and dirty,
- Alan (2/5): - It stank of cheap chlorine,but the window was inoperable to get fresh air in. Very run down.
- SC (2/5): - This property was not as described. Restaurant not operational thus no breakfast as indicated. No hairdryer in room but was able to borrow off from Reception. Staff quite gruff, not really interested and not welcoming. Room had a musty, bad smell. Door to room had been forced open at some stage and damage to timber door not repaired. Whilst bed was not comfortable the linen and towels were crisp and clean. Very neglected and un loved property. Can only assume it’s changed hands since its listing was put online.. Property was chosen due to location so that was a positive. Overall, very disappointed. Would never recommend.
- Kylie (10/5): - Lovely motel, clean room, close to geelong town center
