Guest Reviews
- Jemimah (8/5): Perfectly adequate accommodation - thank you!!! - Clean, cosy and convenient, with great customer service!!! Minor repairs required…
- Narelle Clarke (1/5): HORRIBLE - Lacation was good The water pressure was non existant (just a trickle) and there was NO hot water from the get go even when we had the water running for 15 mins it did not get any hotter. And you knew when another room turned their water on our shower went from a trickle to a dribble
- Victoria (9/5): - Very helpful staff member at receptoob
- Brendan (10/5): -
- Peter A (10/5): - Very convenient, old but generally good value for money. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Very busy roadway out front but wasn’t all that noticeable to be honest
- Perry (8/5): Good for value for short stay. I will stay there again. - Convenient. Surface finish was only average on the floor.
- zivanovic (10/5): -
- Nathaniel (6/5): -
- Beverley (5/5): Comfortable had a good night sleep - The price of accommodation Very noisy road nearby
- Melecio (10/5): - No Comment No Comment
- Charlotte (6/5): -
- Tania (5/5): Only if you can’t find something else! - Older style motel which was ok for a one night stop over but no more. The room & bathroom were basic but clean and the bed was comfortable. Check in was easy after hours with key collection & site manager communicated process easily. Parking available Facing a main road and intersection meant the car noise was pretty intense and definitely not helpful for a much needed rest after a long drive. The ‘residents’ down stairs in unit 1 were on the bongs all night and fighting so the smell was awful and their arguing a little unnerving! It did the job for a late check in 8pm ‘pit stop’ overnight en route to Melbourne but I wouldn’t choose it again.
- Kate (7/5): - Very handy location Traffic noise was not great
- Tracey (10/5): Can’t fault it! - easy to find. Staff member that greeted
me was really lovely. Room with a view overlooking Sydney. was pretty quiet out the back. Plenty of parking. there wasn’t anything I didn’t like. No fault of the motel, I had a couple who were yelling for hours and kept their window for all to hear. I’d driven 11 hours and had another 8 in front of me so it did its job, shower and rest. I can’t fault it.
- Mark (9/5): - Service from staff was great.
Perfect warm shower
- Todd (8/5): Can recommend for a short stay. - The room was clean & quite comfortable & reasonably quiet considering it is on a main road. Nothing I didn't like.
- A1 PRESSURE WASHER (10/5): Amazing, comfortable - Everything N/A
- John (9/5): - Great stay Nothing
- Karen (7/5): -
- Amanda (8/5): -
- Graeme (7/5): While a nice motel it is poorly located and couldn’t get internet - Was a convenient location off the M1 motorway.
Good facilities Getting in and out and difficult to get back to the motorway
Very poor internet connection
- Brown (9/5): Good value for money. - Spotless room and linen Location. Had to go all the way down the hill to turn back to reach the highway.
- Anisha (10/5): -
- Blayze (6/5): - Location to where we needed to go was great ! and fantastic views from our door the room was a bit on the small side
- andree (5/5): Convenient location at a reasonable price. - It was close to the highway and not noisey. Great pizzas across the road Too much furniture in our room.
- Blake (10/5): Had a great stay would recommend to a friend - I loved the comfort of the beds and the aircon was unmatched minutes the helicopter sounds it made in the morning and the shower was a little under developed with the pressure but the staff was absolutely excellent so in conclusion 9.5/10 The water pressure in the shower was minimal and it took 5 minutes to get hot and the aircon sounded like a helicopter after 5 minutes of being on
- Lyndal (4/5): Pretty crap really - Bed was comfortable Noise - smelly neighbour smoking pot.
Two ICE vehicles parked in EV charging bays (the reason we booked this property)
- Lucinda (10/5): - Clean , comfortable and friendly. Nothing
- Jennifer (3/5): - Only good thing about it was the fact we only needed to stay one bight. Was not in a good location, car parking was so tight you could barely get your car through their front driveway. Was on a really busy main road with a very steep driveway. It was not clean, and was not only outdated, but not well kept.
- Debbie (4/5): - Nothing Location
- Antony (10/5): I’d come again. - Nice clean comfortable Nothing
- TANYA (6/5): OK stay, convenient but if you have an EV...beware of the prices!! - Room ok....clean but updates urgently needed The high cost of the EV electric chargers!! Would have been a quarter of the cost to go use the Ampol in West Gosford. Hubby rang both the charge company and the hotel, both pointed blame at one another. Slight sewer odour in our guestroom.
- Jon-Paul (9/5): -
- Edelle (10/5): Warm and welcoming - It’s accomodation with heart and the staff are just so kind
The location is not ideal but the hotel room and staff and just the effort that’s gone in to it being a welcoming space.
Kids play area , pool and very clean and peaceful
- Donna (7/5): - The room was quieter than I expected given the motel is right off the main road. We actually hardly noticed the noise.
Central location. Is a little worn but the room was well made and clean.
- Ourania Connelley (5/5): Cheap for a pensioner - It was close to our final destination The banging against the wall from the next room beside us
- Stevenson (5/5): - Clean towels. Comfy bed. Good aircon. Microwave, jug, fridge pretty good. Water pressure horrible in shower. Very old looking and rusty. Very old TV. Lock on door was hard to open and close.
It also said it was close to sports stadium but its so not.
- Renae (4/5): Upgrade shower heads/pressure - Close to Polytec Stadium Shower pressure was absolute shhhhhiiit. Couldn't even wash my hair because it was only dripping out of the shower head.
- Judy (10/5): -
- Matt (8/5): -
- Rosemarie (6/5): -
- Jodie (5/5): - Good location. Very small room not disabled friendly. Too small and not disabled friendly which is what we required.
- Jennifer (4/5): Fine for a cheap overnight stay. - Excellent price Very poorly maintained. Our room had gaffa tape holding tiles in place. The pool was extremely cloudy and I wouldn’t swim in it. Blinds had a layer of dust on them and the shower was in serious need of maintenance and regrouting. Having said, it was a cheap and well located stay, as long as you don’t mind loud traffic noise.
- Sandra (2/5): Glad I didn’t pay too much for this accommodation. - The bed was comfortable It’s very tired and not particularly clean.
- Helen (8/5): Great place to stay - Convenient location The driveway
- Scott Gordon (7/5): -
- Sarah (7/5): Basic, but clean and served a need for a quick overnight stay. - Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good location for us, and a good price. It was really handy having basic amenities like toaster, kettle, microwave and fridge, plus soap and shampoo supplied.
The bed was comfortable. The rooms are a little dated, and the blinds in the bathroom did not keep much of the light from the carpark out. Parking would be a little tight with a larger vehicle, although there is a carpark for bigger cars out the back.
- Davis (8/5): - - Bed was clean & comfortable
- Room size & storage were adequate
- Reception staff excellent
- Ease of parking
- Quiet room, despite somewhat loud visitors sitting outside, upstairs - The sink took nearly 10 minutes to drain after plug removed. Drank etc required.
- Sugar packets had clearly been there for a while. The sugar had solidified into a single cube within most of the sachets. I don't drink tea or coffee but it would suggest that they had also not been refreshed for some time.
- no snack biscuits available in tea/coffee station, tho they would have almost certainly been out of date.
- Mark (4/5): -
- Zoe (4/5): -
- Joanne (8/5): -
- Kalkaua (10/5): It’s was fantastic - Everything is available Nothing I like everything
- Taitoko (10/5): -
- Johnny (10/5): -
- G (4/5): - - Road noise terrible, noise from room above, water damaged walls, little ventilation, dirty cups, lack of maintenance....
- David (8/5): Pleasant 3 start Motel would stay again. - The location to our event in Glenworth Valley was great. Short drive to Gosford town, restaurants and cafes. Lovely part of the central coast. Reception lady lovely. The road noise interrupted my sleep. My husband didn't notice. The bathroom shower grout really needs an upgrade.
- Howard (4/5): Won't stay there again. - The view from rear rooms. The shower was fine. Entrance driveway dangerous. The broken flyscreen door. The slightly damaged shelving in the room The awkward exit from the motel if travelling back to freeway.
- Janice (10/5): Very comfortable and clean - Very central Television reception not great.
- Karim (10/5): 90% great 👍 - The room is clean.
The room had everything one would need.
Nothing was broken.
Aircon was a godsend as I stayed during a 33° heatwave.
No issue with TV.
Staff was super nice, friendly, helpful.
It is excellent value for the price. 2 things:
1. The motel is on a highway, so you can hear all passing traffic
2. The bedroom door is a meter away from the car park, so you can hear cars parking or leaving, people chatting, ...
- Mandy (7/5): - Had everything that I needed.
Shower head was massive and was super hot.
Staff very friendly. Driveway was super steep and a little hard to get down.
Wire door was pretty useless.
- Nikolett (7/5): -
- Kerri (6/5): It was unfortunate that the weather was so terrible we did not enjoy our stay - an amazing view from the room. Our room was located upstairs, and due to the heavy rainfall, there were puddles everywhere. The stairs were slippery, and the only available parking was quite a distance from our room. The hotel is situated on a corner, which made both access and departure difficult. As we were not prepared for such torrential rain, we were drenched and could not even get our luggage out of the car. We were not offered an umbrella or any assistance.
- Tekani (8/5): -
- Cathy (7/5): - Location close to local shops and servo Pool was closed, disappointed after a long day driving
- Sulieti (10/5): - Cleanliness Paking
Busy street location
- Cynthia (7/5): -
- Milzeh (6/5): Honest Aussie Review - Very comfortable and functional room, nice staff to greet and depart, budget friendly. Very dodgy area, did not feel safe walking around, sketchy neighbours staring at us while we parked.
- Ferdinand (10/5): -
- Colarte (1/5): - Nothing Everything about that motel was terrible. When I booked, I requested one full bed and two small rooms. When we arrived, there was only one full bed and one bunk bed. Okay, that's not a problem, but there was no internet either. The toilet drain was clogged and it smelled like feces. The electric kettle was leaking. The bathroom wasn't clean; there was hair in the toilet bowl. While I was sleeping, a picture frame that wasn't hung on the wall fell on my head. I think they should replace the manager.
- Spurway (8/5): -
- Mar (8/5): Comfortable and nice - The room was very clean and tidy. The beds were very comfortable and the staff were unbelievable. The duty manager waited up for me on the night that I checked in and she had the biggest smile even though I had kept her waiting There wasnt much i didnt like about the place
- Deanne (8/5): -
- jess (3/5): Definitely will not stay again. - Dead cockroaches in the rooms, the door lock was broken, the fans were broken, marks on the bed sheets. Gross. The staff member when we checked in started making a call when I was checking in then stopped talking to me.
- Lauren (8/5): -
- Ben (5/5): I feel like you don't get much for nearly $200 a night these days. Wouldn't stay there again. - The lady at reception was really lovely. The photos were not what the room looked like. Very noisy from the main road and the air con was also very noisy. Windows inside were moldy.
- James (4/5): - The pool was lime greeen.
- Jianli (8/5): 完全满足自驾游的需要 - 出门就上路 位于路口,不熟悉的情况下,容易错过入口
- Colin (7/5): -
- Ken (7/5): Comfortable stay with minor irritations - The bed Road noise and some bathroom and kitchen fittings need repair
- susan (7/5): - Family of 6 stay for one night. Two bedroom unit was fantastic, comfortable beds plenty of room with an outdoor sitting area. It is located at the top of Gosford hill which is a very busy road, so traffic noise heard. Clean and tidy.
- Shona (7/5): - Overall great hospitality and clean room/apartment
- Faye (8/5): A bit noisey in morning - Didn’t have breakfast
- Romie (10/5): -
- Glenn (4/5): - Bathrooms was not professionally revamped
- Anthony (8/5): Good position for one night stay - Bed was comfortable Lots of noise from traffic
- Casey (8/5): - Convenient clean motel Would be nice if they updated the kids and pool area but its still a nice stay would recommend to anyone
- Vanessa (3/5): The photos on the ad are very deceiving and not like what it was in person. - Room was clean when we arrived and the lady at the service desk was friendly. When turning on the shower, it smelt like sewage and the smell went through the whole room because it was quite small.
We were staying with family who were next door and their walls with the window started leaking and the second night our floor began leaking. By the next morning, our belongings on the floor were drenched. Half the roof was damaged hence the leaking but I don’t expect anyone to be staying in a room where that happens. The pool was also very green so even if the weather was nice, we definitely wouldn’t be able to enjoy it.
- Macy (6/5): - It was accessible and easy to find Nothing too much to complain about besides beds were uncomfortable but price was ok
- Suellen (7/5): -
- Rebecca (7/5): Comfortable - It just wasn’t worth the money but it was nice and clean and tidy The parking was terrible and so hard to get into off the highway
- Cam (10/5): -
- Ershad (4/5): I would avoid this place in future. I only stayed there because it was very close to my work place. - The key was ready as soon as I arrived. I could notice the dirt on the bed heads. The toilet seat was broken. The window AC made a lot of noise. I could see hair on the sheets. The location is not good for the cars due to steep ramp that leads in/out to the road near the traffic light. The room smelled of smoke. The iron board was not super clean and I thought it might spoil my clothes.
- Andrew (5/5): -
- Jesse (7/5): -
- Brian (4/5): Inspect room first - Clean and comfortable bed Sink tap broken, fridge freezer over iced up. Broken glass sliver in fridge. Had to remove carefully.
- Kim (9/5): Great value for money - We loved the pool area considering it was 42 degrees when we stayed there and was nice to be able to relax in the pool to try and cool down Only issue we had was the car parking area was a little tight.
- Jarrad (8/5): -
- Sharyn (10/5): - The staff are very helpful and lovely. The room was clean and had all the amenities you need. Swimming pool fantastic. Nothing
All good. I have been here before and will stay again.
- Katie-Daniel (5/5): - Easy Parking and comfy bed. Quite dated, pleased it didnt rain with no roof currently on it. Unfortunately had some wifi code issues but resolved on day 2. Definitely woud need a car.
- McMillan (9/5): Very good - Everything
