We stayed overnight on our way to Bathurst. Looked ok from the road, price wasn't to bad $89. On entering the room it had a musty smell. There was a nice new flat screen tv on the wall, but, the old tv cabinet (wooden colonial style with glass door on one side for stereo) quite a large piece of furniture... More

Point Taken will remove cupboard AS only just put in new tvs, old cupboard not needed in room now. Luggage rack obviously been pinched and we will replace. You have neglected to mention that there was a granite bench, a table and chairs and a couch so room was not understocked. Have been in room and not sure about smell.... More

Check in - fine Went to iron and the iron ruined my top which I showed the manager. The owner didn't bother bringing it up. Sat down on outside furniture and fell off due to the seat being so old and not even attached to the legs. Ordered room service Vegies were microwaved to soggy, totally screws up medium rare... More

We were travelling from Lismore to Canberra, and had booked this motel on-line. Externally, it looks good, and is in a good location on the outskirts of Tamworth. However, the room was very "tired", with lots of patchups - for example, the sink in the ensuite has been fitted with a new mixer tap, but the holes from the last... More

Points taken, not sure about “patchups”: new carpet, new cupboards, new 80cm LCD TV,new dvd p-layer, new microwave, new vanity (yes has extra predrilled holes that we need to put caps over), new beds, new bedcovers, clean paintwork recently painted. Don’t know how this makes room “clean but worn” ? We are an old motel but for the price we... More

These guests are correct with a couple of things only. They refused to take the room that they were booked into and instead were given a room which was dearer and at not at the rate they shoulod have been charged. They didn't want the room that they were booked into because it had a bunk in the room and... More

My wife and I stayed one night en route south and it was fine for the price. While close to the road the traffic didn't interrupt our sleep. I imagine most other motels in town would be in the same boat as far as proximity to the highway is concerned. In summary: the bed was comfortable, we had a good... More

We have been told that our competitors have been getting on and posting negative reviews. I will comment as too what logically here makes no sense. Why would I be rude about breakfast ????? Cleaning outdoor furniture, well with the weather conditions we experienced in November that would have had to be done anywhere. Received a microwave after complaining, WHO... More
