Pool was not heated. No electric blankets. Very dated flooring, couch was filthy, and the road noise kept us awake all night, even though it stated sound proof?? Unusual leads running t.V with extention cords, defiantly wouldn't stay again. Add an extra $30 a night and you can get a lot better
Easy parking. Easy check in. Large family room. Good price. Big fridge. Was a last minute booking, I'd return if needed.
The bathroom window let in alot of light. And curtains weren't dark enough. I get concerned about dusty curtains also blinds would be better.
Very outdated as far as rooms and facilities.
Draws were dirty and had what looked like crumbs in them.
Curtains were stained and also the roof had some dirty looking marks.
There was no bins, none even in the bathroom/near toilet for female items.
There wasn’t anything to look through as far as things to do around the area, info about the motel if needed to contact.
No little milks to go with coffee/tea.

Not luxurious but Low cost for reasonable accommodation which was quite clean and comfortable
Found the room very dated. Bathroom facility had to step into bath to have a shower. Appliances all old. Could do with some love. Pool facility poor. All pool furniture rusty.
Hardly any water to shower,bed was very uncomfortable, not clean, didn’t get clean linen for 5 nights, had to ask for plates and bowls and knife and forks, but did have 2 cups and a jug and a toaster, spa not working in room or pool,
We just needed an overnight stay and was apprehensive due to the photos and the price but were pleasantly surprised when we got there. We were upgraded to queen bed and smart TV. Room was very clean, well presented, plenty of fresh towels, bathroom supplies and tea and coffee. Bed and pillows were super comfy. Nice and quiet area. Would stay again.
Advertised the pool in photos as something it really wasn't. Had a big bit of ugly plywood over the big end window, where they had had a spa. Pool was dirty and whole area was unkept. Disappointing as we book places for the pool

Not bad.
Negative points :-
1. Extra cup and cutlery would have helped. There were three of us.
2. Some desert bowls would have helped; we routinely have quick oats for breakfast
3. A kettle would have helped.
Receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. The room was beautiful and clean and smelt amazing inside it.
Really comfy beds. Had a blast staying there

We had a stop over as a family and the family room accommodated our needs quite well. The beds were comfortable and the location was great for walking to dinner and close to Sovereign Hill.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and it was quiet so I had a good nights sleep. A couple of annoying things happened, the inside door handle fell off the first time I closed the door and was just sitting on the fitting thereafter and the toilet blocked after the first use even though minimal toilet paper was used. As I was only there for one night I wasn't overly bothered about these two inconveniences, but I would have been if my stay was longer.
