Guest Reviews
- Carleen (5/5): Not under average, but not over and fine for a quick stop over - Recently renovated, clean and comfortable beds. No stairs and you can park your car up close to your room. It had a microwave, toaster and cutlery. We had to open the window as there was a strong fragrance that those with sensitive sinus or asthma may find it hard to stay. Location is not central but that is ok if you have a vehicle.
- Julie (9/5): Highly recommend if you're looking for reasonably priced, clean and conven accommodation. - Great value for the money.

- Andreas (4/5): Für eine Nacht knapp ok - Die Unterkunft war Zweckmässig. Das Zimmer war sehr stark parfümiert. Das hat die Qualität des Zimmers in unserer Wahrnehmung beeinträchtigt.
- Greg (9/5): -
- MLOgilvie (10/5): Mariner Motel - The size of the room was great and the beds were really comfortable. I loved how fluffy the towels were. The barbecue area is also stunning. Could hear the neighbours.

- Chris (6/5): Nice motel in a good area. - Nice property. Good location and rooms A little old if i was to be picky
- Norm (8/5): Nice little Motel at a reasonable price. - Check-in was easy, friendly, and professional.
The room was larger than I expected. It was clean and comfortable.
The bed was comfortable, the shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water.
Plates, spoons, forks, and bowls were supplied as well as a toaster and kettle.
An iron was also supplied. A good heater / aircon was also in the room.
Toiletries were supplied, although the handwash/ bodywash felt very greasy and was difficult to get off your skin.
When in the shower, the floor and benches in the bathroom became very damp, and the floor became a little slippery, even with the big window wide open.
Overall, a nice little Motel, close to KFC, MACCAS, and chinese restaurant
We will stay there again, next time we visit Portland. Wasn't really anything other than the bodywash feeling very greasy.
- Denise (8/5): -
- Buckley (10/5): Great stay. - Everything. Liked everything.
- Emily (9/5): - Stayed for 1 night, could've stayed more, it was a really comfortable motel room and good value for money. Easy to use smart TV that had all the streaming apps, good internet. Aircon warmed up the room nicely and the heat stayed in for a long time before needing to run it again. Was really quiet when we stayed here. All in all, an enjoyable stay. Bathrooms are in need of an update - but everything worked fine!
- Carole (8/5): A Motel does what it says on the tin - The Motel had everything we needed. Very comfortable. Welcome reception. About 25 minutes walk to anywhere to eat.
- 225reillys (2/5): BAD experience. Read other reviews carefully. - BEWARE! Read all the reviews. Especially regarding charging in advance before you arrive and a 24h cancellation fee. I could write more. I hope you don't get ripped off as well. Rooms not cleaned in 4 days, beds not made, bins not emptied.
No spare toilet rolls. Very belligerent staff at front desk. Have changed owners since last year. We wanted to book an extra night, then our plans changed, and we were charged anyway saying "24hour cancellation fee"!
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cruiser26486275900 (2/5): BEWARE !!! - They offer parking for trailer, only if you take it off your car. Location is better down the other end of town near MACs Hotel.
I had another motel booked but they weren't sure the room would be ready as they had a plumbing issue with it, so l booked this motel just in case. I called in to reception to explain situation and later let them know the other motel was okay so l wouldn't need the room. SHE CHARGED ME FULL PRICE saying READ THE POLICY !
If you cancell on the day you pay !!!
Unbelievable but true, but the other motel was much better anyway..and she must need the money more than me !!!
- Tony (7/5): Good -
- Barry (8/5): Friendly, Comfortable and close to the City Centre. - N/A Nothing
- Stuart (8/5): was ok for a one night stop over, easy to find and room was clean and tidy, great shower - Clean and tidy room, basic layout, shower was great, roomy and pressure was really good... a bit close to the main road, it was a saturday night so traffick was at min, but i did hear a couple of trucks go past
- Dominic (10/5): - It was great

- Lorraine (8/5): Very good - Not the most outwardly attractive motel, however the room was very clean, bed comfortable and bathroom large, airy and very clean.
Very good value for money when looking for a place to sleep and shower. Surprisingly way better than expected. Would stay again if looking for a bed along the Great Ocen Road to rest.

- Owen (8/5): Very good -
- Tracy (8/5): Very good -
- Anish (8/5): Very good -
- David (6/5): Pleasant - bed was good - shower was very good noise level from the road and room next door( could hear snoring) and from owners residence.
bbq area was a great space
could have done with a chopping board- a couple of larger plates a cutting knife and a can or bottle opener.
- Julie (9/5): High quality motel accommodation - Good-sized, nicely-decorated and clean room.
Spacious bathroom - larger than I would normally expect in a motel.
Well-equipped kitchenette with fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave, so easy to make breakfast or other light meals.
Easy walk to town centre and beaches. Couple of small suggestions:
Could a chain or bolt be added to the door, as my door wasn't shut properly overnight but I didn't notice until the morning. A chain would provide extra peace of mind.
Can the WiFi password be displayed somewhere obvious in the room, as I couldn't find it but didn't want to disturb the staff to ask for it when I was only there for one night.
- Valentina (7/5): Good -
- Helga (9/5): Great stay every time we stay. - A pleasant stay every time we stay. The smell of the cleaning products.
- Garth (10/5): Exceptional -
- Colleen (9/5): no - the space. why is the tv viewed prodomitly from the bed
- V3844FDfranka (10/5): Modernized, clean and comfortable motel. - This is a small roadside motel that has been nicely renovated. The owner/operators are friendly and helpful. There are several restaurants within walking distance. The bathroom was huge and modern. The bed was comfortable. This is about half way along the ocean road route from Melbourne to Adelaide which is why we stayed here.
- Eric (10/5): Eric’s one night in Portland - Nice motel in the charming town of Portland. Front desk gentleman was very friendly and greeted us on arrival. The BBQ came in handy and the room was well equipped with everything we needed. The area was surprisingly quiet. I suggest they include little toiletries like soap and body lotion.
- Arshdeep singh (10/5): - Very good
- Kari (8/5): - Clean, quiet and great value you for money.
- Hearnes (7/5): Good -
- Julie (8/5): - Room was clean and comfortable.
- Ashwani (8/5): - The location was great. The accommodation was okay. The light in the shower kept on turning off and you had to get out of the shower for the motion sensor to detect you and for it to turn on. The most annoying thing if you are taking a shower in the night. The location of the lodge is great.
- Dave (9/5): Very clean, well appointed rooms just could have been a bit friendlier on arrival. - Clean and tidy. Quiet and within an easy walk of the esplanade Not a very warm welcome at reception.
- Fearless36651703610 (8/5): Good value friendly motel. - A lovely motel. The room was clean and well equipped. When we checked in we were met with a warm and friendly welcome. It was also good value for an overnight stay and a good way point between Adelaide and Melbourne . Would definitely recommend this motel.
- Maureen (5/5): Passable - Shower and bathroom very good. Kitchen faciltys. Try good The pillows were to hard and the doona to hot
- Gary (10/5): - The hotel whist not flsh, was clean comfortable and good value for money, particularly as a short notice booking over new year.
- Lynn (8/5): - Easy to locate and clean.
