“Great Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My family and I stayed overnight recently, and thoroughly enjoyed the facilities on offer. Clean, comfortable and quiet, the best things a motel can provide. The owners, Brook & Eugene, have achieved a very high standard of service, and the location is close enough for all Bendigo has to offer.
The family room we had was roomy, with a second bedroom for the kids, spacious bathroom (inc spa) and a toaster in the room, which is a great money saver for breakfast with kids when travelling.
Very reasonable rates.
I will definitely staying again when passing through Bendigo. And telling my friends about our stay.

“Good value, modern decor and recommendable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

As far as these types of hotels go - this one was clean, modern decor (no daggy wallpaper or bedspreads) and even smelt clean! The bathroom appeared newly renovated - good supplies of shampoo etc. Fridge contained a mini-bar which was surprising. The staff/owners were friendly and helpful. The pool was clean and ok size for cooling off in.
Wel priced and compared to some highway hotels this was a pleasant surprise.

Room Tip: Choose one away from the pool and the big gum trees near the front entrance. The birds in the tree...

“Always happy with this place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

Stayed at this property recently. Quite often book here when staing overnight in Bendigo. Pleasant and courteous staff. Room just what we needed for overnight stay. Very handy to a function that we were attending close by. Will no doubt stay at this location again in the future.

“Perhaps expectations too high.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011 via mobile

Who looks after cleanness? Wine glass grubby. Stains plus. Hosts very polite and friendly.

“Short walk from town?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

We chose this motel as it was reasonably priced and boasted a short walk to city centre. The room was small, comfortable, clean and adequately accommodated my husband and I. The bathroom offered pump action soap,shampoo,conditioner dispensers on the wall - unfortunately the soap was empty in the shower! The short walk was actually a 20 min haul (this comes from two people who actively walk regularly). There was a great reasonably priced motel restaurant across the road which we would recommend. Thank you for or stay.
