The motel room was clearly old, but clean. The worst part was the bed - very uncomfortable due to severe sinking in the middle. Walls are thin so could hear conversation and tv from the next room.

Unfortunately the property was very run down and it didn’t feel clean. My daughter and I ended up going to Kmart and purchasing our own pillows and blankets because everything looked very old and worn out (especially the pillows). There was a metal fence behind the rooms, on the property that banged constantly in the wind and kept us awake. On inspection the fence was also not maintained and about to fall down. It made us sad because the property used to be great, and although the gent behind reception seemed friendly the property has been let go and we won’t stay there again.

I have stayed here on several times. The position is convenient for my purposes. There has been some R&M carried out but if you refurbish a shower recess make sure that adequate preparation is undertaken to ensure paint does adhere to the shower recess tiles. The refrigerator needs a clean and make sure there is at least some milk in it when guests arrive.

The Village Family Motor Inn is the worst commercial accommodation I have ever stayed in in Australia. I advise you to never book this place. I’ll explain: imagine if you can a 1970s facility that has been used solidly for 50 plus years but NEVER renovated. The ancient cabinets (homemade?) and period bathroom attest to this. Even more troubling were the filthy bed base and fridge seals. The mattress was totally collapsed internally and should have been replaced a decade or more ago. The front window winder was broken - as was the fly screen- the result being an airless stuffy room. Why did we stay? Well we arrived on a late flight into Launceston. Consequently we had little choice after opening the room door for the first time at 11:00pm. We paid a heavy price with a sleepless night due neighbour-noise the paper thin walls and the backbreaking mattress. In the morning we both need a chiropractor (this is not a joke). Communications: Prior to arrival I had to contact the manage on 4 occasions (to calls and two remained txts) in order to confirm late entry procedure. I STRONGLY advise to never to stay here under any circumstances. I suspect the ‘capital’ invested in the property has been so over-exploited that renovation to a modern standard is pointless. I also suggest that the Environmental Health Officers at Launceston C.C. should undertake the role they are employed for through regular inspections, Show Cause and Improvement notices and prosecution

Property needs renovating. The 3BR unit needs major works, floor rotten under lino in parts. We changed to 2 x 2BR units, staff did not question our request I think they were well aware. The 2BR units were a little better but still very outdated.

An OK hotel if you are looking for budget accommodations. New AC units have been installed with some attempts to upgrade the mechanical systems but the facility as a whole is very old and will need major renovations to bring it into place where higher rates are warranted.
