dated but handy location

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 14, 2013
We have stayed at this motel a number of times because of its location, walking distance to the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre, the river and restaurants. It is very dated but is okay to stay overnight.

Reviewed November 21, 2011

Although the price was moderate to low this motel was still not good value. The cleaner is either blind or lazy. Basic rubbish removal from the bathroom does not take much effort. After complaining about the state of one room we were moved to a different room that was the same. The room was dirty, the shower head did not stay up even with water running through it and the toilet kept flushing continuously. It needs serious repainting, as it doesn't look like like it has been painted in 20 years. They had the air conditioning serviced but that they should have had them replaced, they are ancient and no longer have any knobs to actually change the temperature and are too noisy to use. The TV was about the size of my laptop screen and I don't have a large laptop. The curtains did not fit the wondows and were falling down, but they did provide some pegs to try to hold them closed. Nowhere to put bags and basically I would definitely NEVER go near this place again.

We stayed 3 nights and found that their charming service and the lovely riverside location. The owner's recommend local restaurants were the best choice.

We made a phone booking after finding this motel on the internet.
The photos looked okay, so we went ahead.
On arrival, there was no-one there so we drove in & drove straight out again!!
The buildings were so old. They were desperately in need of a paint job, & some tlc.
After a quick discussion, we decided to look elsewhere & found a great motel within a few hundred metres.

Moral of this story? Don't take what you see on the internet as gospel. A drive by is a great idea!!

Room tip: Don't stay here!
