- Glover (8/5): -
- Russell (5/5): - Location was OK for me. Owner was helpfully but some minor communication difficulty. Furniture to low for me. The shower is to open and water overflow to outside floor tiles. No plug in handbags so could have shave. No card to explain how to use TV remote.
- Dana (9/5): -
- Suzanne (9/5): -
- Don (8/5): -
- Viv (8/5): Perfectly adequate for an overnight stay at reasonable cost. - Easy access and central to restaurants Very basic amenities. Needs updating as looks tired.
- Jenny (8/5): - The bathroom facility was lovely. The staff were very accommodating and allowed us to access fridge before I had to get to my conference. Much appreciated. Good easy location. My room had old cigarette smell. Other than that we slept well and I didn't notice noise. I slept well and that's always my biggest concern!!

- Carmen (10/5): - A good, clean motel with everything we needed and a convenient location close to town.
- Ross (8/5): -
- Mikhail (4/5): There are much better motels nearby, but one needs to book them well in advance - Good location - a walking distance from good restaurants, shopping mall. When entering the "Executive Studio with Spa Bath" we noticed sewage + deodorant smell, and had to open windows wide to reduce that smell. Asked the staff for help - they suggested that the smell is fine, added that no alternative accommodation is available, and offered us a full refund (meaning that we are to leave, unless we agree to stay in that room). With no other motel available in the vicinity, we had no choice, but to stay. With windows closed that smell increased in intensity. No wardrobe, nowhere to place suitcases, no view.
- Jimmy (10/5): It 'Rose' to the occassion. - Staff are great and very accommodaring. Location is great. Suited our group of 10. Nothing to add here.
- Lai (10/5): Must stay again - Good location, close to supermarket and shops, good check in time, good facilities, friendly and helpful owner, clean toilet and bathroom, I like the most is the hand held shower .Nice and Quiet environment.
Feel like at home. Nil
- Fleming (8/5): very convenient and comfortable, no sky in bedroom - clean room being upstairs, cramped car park
- Currey (8/5): -
- bronwyn (7/5): -
- Julie Hone (9/5): - Good location and spacious unit with lovely large bathroom. We booked spa bath studio and great to have after a busy day. Good clean unit. Doesn't apoly
- Estella (6/5): -
- Davies (9/5): Rose City Motel is a great place to stay. - The room was clean, warm and comfortable. I have stayed at Rose City Motel in the past. It is close to the town centre and local food outlets.
- Danielle (8/5): Overall I will definitely stay at Rose city again, highly recommend you to stay. Very affordable 👌 - The motel was in a good location for our stay, 5 minutes walk to Burger King and bottle store 😋 Some lights didn't work, but not a big issue as there were side lights that operated.
Didn't like the door stopper as it was in the way and kept stubbing our toes on it, could have had a portable one or a latch to the wall for the door.
I didn't like how there was no other condiments eg: salt & pepper
I didn't like how the toilet didn't have a cleaning seal across the seat, so you know it has been cleaned.
- ratapu (8/5): -
- Heather Spilsbury (8/5): - Spacious unit and separate bedroom. Well equipped kitchen. Rain shower. Very low water flow and unable to direct water so I wouldn't get my hair wet.
- Matt (10/5): - Great place to stay for a couple of nights. Easy walk to restaurants & shops. Bathroom seems pretty modern compared to other motels I've stayed at. Easy checkin/checkout outside of office hours.
