Guest Reviews
- Rob (7/5): -
- Gary (7/5): Plenty good enough - Close to town Appearance from the hwy
- Barbra (1/5): Don't bother!!! - Rooms were nice. People that were clearly residents playing music and alcohol affected in the car park at 11pm. Scary place we left and drove home.
- Keane (10/5): -
- Kay (10/5): great location - My stay at Elm Motel was comfortable and pleasant. The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient. I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and would happily stay there again.
- Kate (6/5): - No reception.
Smoking outside of rooms.
Behaviour of other guests.
Not same quality as booked.
- Tania (3/5): Elm moved me to a Room with Spiders. - No Breakfast at the Elm, was the preferred location that was why I booked at the Elm. With 24Hours to go,, the Elm cancelled my room, due to the leaking. plumbing Instead of moving me to another room, which when I went past the elm there were cars in the car park. The moved me to another hotel to the other side of town Eaglehawk. I needed to be in Golden Square, so the move was not suitable. I would not book at the Elm again. The room that I had in Eaglehawk had spiders in the shower curtain.
- Jayne (1/5): I will never stay there again wouldn't recommend at all - Other people that were there staying
- Dorward (7/5): -
- Jennifer (9/5): Comfortable affordable close to city centre - It has been updated / re furnished comfortable Problem getting into room - there was someone on site which helped
- Michael (10/5): . - . .
- Julie (7/5): comfortable once check in issue was sorted - comfortable rooms, good facitlies That I couldn't check in as Booking.com and the motel had some sort of miscommunication (even though I received emails and txt message confirming my booking with a reservation and booking number. I could not book in and had to call management, This is a motel that has 24 hour check in. Management did their best to sort this out in a timely manner, but it took longer than expected and there was a language barrier so I am still not 100% sure what the actual problem was.
- charles (8/5): Comfortable - Comfortable bed and good hot shower A little far away from the city centre
- patrick (10/5): Enjoyable - Every things you expect , is there , it is just perfect Nothing to complain about
- Alfa (8/5): -
- Matt (8/5): Clean, comfortable and great location - Location. Not able to drive our van under the entrance way. Had to leave van out on the street
- Guest (6/5): -
- Diana (6/5): - Was fine for the night
- ian (7/5): -
- Renee (10/5): - Thanks for the stay and allowing my dogs to stay
The new up graded rooms are beautiful.
The shower was amazing Some crazy guy was screaming about something
But thats not the motels fault
- Marco (2/5): Disappointed even for one night. No at standards - When I booked I like the price and the presentation on the website. The reception who rearranged the room. The strong cigarette smell in a queen size room ordered, called the property , rearranged in a double bed with my partner (practically downsized) and smoke alarm was removed prior to coming . Strong marijuana smell from the nearby room and other customers under obvious drugs
- Keith (8/5): -
- Sue (9/5): Only interaction with staff was after when I left an item in the room. They were most helpful and the item was returned - Convenient and quiet even though close to a main road Bit dark outside when I arrived
- Carol (6/5): The room was ok but disappointing that there was no reception just a self check in. - The room was clean and bed comfortable I didn’t like there was no privacy curtain and the blind that was there allowed the room to be very light at night. We had to ask for clean towels each day and one day the lady refused us until the man gave them to us
- Maaroof (6/5): - Was clean and comfortable
- Michelle and John (9/5): - Thank you for having us
- Daniel (8/5): -
- Heather (2/5): - Strong smell of dog
- Lauren (8/5): Comfortable and clean -
- Lynda (9/5): - Easy access to all facilities in Bendigo Fine
- Geoffrey (10/5): Great value - While I paid for just a motel room for some reason I was upgraded into what would be considered a serviced apartment in a house that is attached to the property. It was very spacious, had a full sized kitchen and a private parking space.
- kathare (8/5): -
- Colin (4/5): - Na Na
- Sandy (6/5): - Easy checkin and convenient if driving. Ok if you understand this is an old hotel updated to be an economical stay.
- MY2003 (8/5): It was so nice to stay - It was so nice and comfortable Not many security was provided in the hotel door lock
- Guest (9/5): -
- Clinton (3/5): - Location Mouldy shower, sticky floor, floor lifting and moving, hard bed, thin pillows. Very expensive for what you get.
- Louise (7/5): - Code to get in- no key/card so super simple to access room.
Responsive staff- fire alarm making an annoying noise as if the battery needed replacing which the staff did as soon as I reported the issue.
The staff changed thw bed linen during our stay free of charge when my son had wet the bed. Nothing- it was a great, affordable, clean stay
- Nick (1/5): Service was shit. Had to wait eight hours to get a second towel and it wasn’t left outside on a dirty chair. - Nothing at all They only had one towel in the whole motel room
- Keith (9/5): Very comfortable stay in a convenient location. - Very conveniently located for a visit to Bendigo. The room was clean and facilities have been refreshed and freshly painted. The self check-in and digital key is a very good concept. Can’t be helped but on this occasion, we had a noisy neighbour, a couple who were arguing and swearing late into the night. At some point we were wondering whether to notify the management. Perhaps the manages need to have a noise policy.
- Kaye (9/5): Great value for money, especially at a peak weekend, very very clean, modern and very helpful team - Didn’t have breakfast but the room was immaculately clean and the hosts were very friendly and helpful Because it was a small room it was so very warm and because of this, a menopausal woman I melted however my husband turned of the air con and slept like a baby
- Graeme (1/5): never going to stay - nothing everthing
- Alfa (9/5): -
- Heather (8/5): -
- liliana (3/5): disappointing - no breakfast was included incomplete bathroom
no extra blankets
no in house instructions for facilities
air con could not be operated
TV not tuned in
No extra pillows
No extra blankets
Delay in owners responding to pre arrival enquiries

- clingan (5/5): -
- John (5/5): - I was rebooked to another motel. I had a bicycle and was given an upstairs room - difficult.
- Ruth (1/5): -
- Jeremy (3/5): Please read our review. - Check-in was fully automated. There didn't seem to be any visible office.
Stepping out of our car, it smelled like a giant ashtray. Large tin filled with stubs outside every door.
Room was clean, single couches were old and disgusting looking. We definitely wouldn't sit on them. Bed was nice.
It felt like it had been turned into a halfway house.
My wife had a very bad experience with a drug-affected woman pretending to be a maid, knocking on the door asking if she needed any towels whilst I was on a tour. On the other side was an equally affected male with whom she had yelling and swearing at. She was so scared we moved out and stayed at a much nicer 'hotel' near the hospital.
We won't stay there again.
Looking at the reviews, maybe we were just unlucky.
- Albinus (6/5): -
- HEATHER (10/5): -
- Lindsay (8/5): - A very comfortable room. I had difficulty obtaining a Tax Invoice. The format provided by the onsite receipt printer did not meet the ATO requirements for a tax invoice. As the venue has no onsite staff I could not ask for a valid invoice. The one provided by the website was a copy of the document created by the onsite receipt printer.
- Jennifer (7/5): -
- Leigh (7/5): Good cheap place for an overnight stay - Clean, comfortable beds and the shower was good. Good place for an overnight stay. Na
- Jenni (10/5): -
- Kerry (8/5): Comfortable, semi high tech pointless with dog - Location was good and liked the easy check in service Found it worried and made easy computer check in pointless that I could pay for my pet early?
- Glenn (6/5): Okay you get what you pay for. - Room was clean TV didn't work. No soap in soap dispenser in shower. missing a bath mat and face washers but owner did get them
for us once asked. A lot of road noise.
- Matt (7/5): -
- Dunn (10/5): -
- Andrea (7/5): - Very clean Good for the price
- Jim (7/5): -
- Lynn (8/5): -
- Angela (6/5): No drama but could have been better. - We did not stay at the Elm Motel, they contacted me to advise of a plumbing problem and redirected us to The Bendigo Motor Inn. It was not a problem to us at all and we were grateful for the Elm Motel managed to find us an alternative location. Reception was very pleasant and helpful however the room was in need of a thorough clean. A spacious room but very tired.
- campton (7/5): -
- Michael (10/5): Room was clean and comfortable -
- Leila (6/5): - Comfy bed No reception area, self serve kiosk. We had trouble getting in. Someone came to help, gave us a code for the room which didn't work, then we were given a fob for the door. We paid for a room with a queen bed, told the room we got had a queen and a single, but because we hadn't paid for it, don't use the single bed. There was a sign to clean our own dishes, but the thing in the bathroom to wash dishes was horrible, so we didn't use any crockery or cutlery. The kettle was also a bit gross. Only a blind on the window, no curtain, so if u had the blind up for daylight, people could see right into the room. Felt like the place was under renovation, when finished I'm sure it will be great
