Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nice location and friendly staff. Terrible room it smelt of wet dog and cigarettes. The room looked nothing like the photos used to sell the place. In fact it looked like it had never been updated since the 60’s. Just a little paint here and there to cover up the atrocities that have no doubt been committed in the room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was incredibly run down. Gauges out of walls, bedside lights didn’t work, no towels, no soap, bed was like concrete, broken bathroom louvres, graffiti on bathroom wall and very old furniture. The air con, tv and hot water all worked well. It’s a huge shame as this motel is in a beautiful area and close to the races and shops but there is complete disregard from the owner to the maintenance of the rooms.

Overnight & convenient

The motel was aged but comfortable for an overnight stay. There was no body soap in the shower & the basin tap had a leak. Value for money though & convenient for eateries.

Look people, this motel is indeed due for an upgrade. You are paying $150 per night, not 3 or 4 hundred. The bed was comfy, parking right outside your room. Everything was clean and the owner/manager is a great bloke. If you drive a Holden, be prepared to talk about cars. He is a fan of the late Mr. Peter Brock. Give him a go and then maybe he can renovate.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Arrived at night in the pouring rain & couldn't park directly outside our allocated room as other vehicles obstructed our entry - one vehicle with lights turned on high beam making it even more difficult to see and manoeuvre in the space. Our room PONGED OF CIGARETTE SMOKE! The room itself was shabby ie ripped lace curtain at window; blackout curtains old, dirty & dusty; furnishings likewise; kettle barely working & ONLY ONE cup/mug for tea & coffee (had to request another); no milk or water in fridge & an inadequate supply of tea (again had to request more); only one toilet roll supplied; no iron or ironing board IN ROOM; & only one very small three-quarter size cupboard (with wonky door) to hang clothes in. Complimentary cockroaches greeted us in the bathroom each morning & only ONE pillow supplied for each bed. I kept stubbing my toes on the metal corners of both our double and the spare bed & there was only ONE bedside table. The beds were surprisingly comfortable however & apart from hearing the occasional aircraft fly overhead other outside noise was barely audible & the location pretty central - easy walking distance to most amenities & public transport. I was informed twice (by FRED on enquiring about an 'EXTRA GUEST' CHARGE when we'd BOOKED FOR ONLY TWO) that the per night rate was calculated PER PERSON WITH T SECOND PERSON COSTING AN ADDITIONAL $10 - AN ADDITIONAL $18 WAS CHARGED FOR MY HUSBAND! This stoppover was supposed to be a special birthday treat for him 😪

It looks like it was built in the 1960s and has had very little proper maintenance since. I arrived at about 3:15 pm and the room was not ready. When it was ready, it was very very basic. The bathroom is in very poor condition with many cracks in the tiles filled roughly with silicone, and lots of black mould. There were dead cockroaches in the crockery cupboard, and plenty of live ones running around the floors. The TV only has about 4 stations and none of the local ones work. The building creaks and bangs through the night. The bed was clean and comfortable. The best thing about it is that I now know not to stay there again.
