This property was most probably good 30 years ago. I don’t think they ever bothered to fix, clean or maintain anything since. If I had to choose between sleeping at this motel or on the street I choose the street.

Wish I’d read the reviews on both the motel and the town. Had to sleep with one eye open for fear of what would happen. The motel is probably the worst accommodation I’ve ever encountered. We got our towels and put them over the pillows. Didn’t bother unpacking, we had a quick rest and left as soon as the barbed wire gate opened at 4am. This was after a night of listening to what sounded like gunfire and small explosions going off all night. I wondered why people were camping out in areas like Devils Marbles when Tennant Creek was so close. One look at Tennant Creek and I now know why. The pool area looked like something out of one of those natural disaster or horror movies.

So so

Our stay started with the lights not working so we asked to be moved to another room. The temperature was around 10deg C. When we got moved to another room, the heater wasn't blowing any air, let alone hot air. We were told that it will come out eventually. This led to asking for another room which they provided a small fan heater in stead. It got better eventually, before we caught pneumonia. I have stayed here in the past, however, it appears that not much maintenance goes on now.

This property is dated and poorly maintained. The room was musty smelling and in need of a face lift. Dirty finger marks on the inside of the entrance door. Not enough and poorly placed power outlets. Tiles missing and falling off the wall in bathroom. At some point a new cupboard with hand basin has been installed in the bathroom which restricts the access to the toilet and shower to about 4 or 5 hundred millimetres. I am sure this would be in breach of the building code for adequate access and egress. To be fair, the bed and sheets were clean, aircon worked ok, location is good (main st), and aftet all, it is Tennant Creek, a mining town in the middle of Australia's outback.

This place fees like the ghetto. Surrounded by barbed wire fences, you’re locked into the compound at night. That aside, the hotel itself is pretty rundown, I’d booked expecting a pool and restaurant to be available, and if you’re expecting this too, then don’t, they’re all closed and run down, grass and weeds overtaking the patio out the front of the restaurant, it looks closer to something out of silent hill, or some zombie apocalypse flick. The room was full of roaches, and you will wake up to roach pop all round your head after a nights sleep. My fellow travellers had used tissues in their draws. It was probably a good hotel once, but looks like they’re just pulling money out of it now, and not investing back into maintenance. A real shame. Only consider staying here if you absolutely have to. You’ve been warned.

Motel is a bit hard to find at night as the sign was not illuminated. For security reasons (Tennant Creek can be a bit 'interesting' at night) there is serious razor wire on top of all the fences and gates. We were not warned that the gates are locked shut in mid evening to prevent unauthorised entries (which is fair enough as there are social problems but a warning would be handy) so were lucky to get back in time from dinner (at the nearby and excellent Sporties Club) before lock out. Cockroaches were plentiful in the room, entering through a hole in the wall which we had to block up. We tried to drive out to purchase insect spray at the nearby roadhouse but couldn't get out because of the locked gates. Cockroaches are a fact of life in the North but we did not have this level of problem anywhere else. The general appearance and maintenance of the room was pretty basic but it was a standard older motel room so about what we expected.

Obviously this grand old motel has seen better days where, I believe, Royalty once stayed. Unfortunately it’s now outdated and rundown. Pool area is not used and the pool itself is empty and dilapidated. However our room surprisingly had large comfortable beds and a good strong shower with plenty of hot water. The fridge was icy cold which was also a bonus. Flat screen TV on the wall but the room lighting was terrible with one bright ceiling light over the bed. NONE of the beautiful bedside lamps which are featured heavily in the motels advertising images. We found this motel to be the best place in town for 3 adults travelling together who requires 3 separate beds. NO dining available as the on-site restaurant and bar appears permanently closed. There are lots of rooms at this motel but it appears they only use a few of them as we booked the last remaining room on Wotif but the place was almost completely empty. OH by the way, there’s a 10pm curfew. Front gates are locked and you can’t come or go until morning which wasn’t a problem for us. Overall not a bad stay but just reminded yourself the remoteness of the location and embrace it.
