“Only motel in Traralgon with decent food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2009

While I agree with the other reviews about the truck noise - I'd say that applies to all motels in the area as they're all on the highway. It's not really a tourist town and customers tend to be staying for work reasons like myself. The rooms are a little cramped but again for a one night business road trip traveler like myself I don't need the space. After driving all day I need a quick & friendly check in, a shower with decent flow and plentiful hot water, a comfortable & clean bed and most of all decent food. Gipps gets a tick on all these and certainbly more so than the rest in Traralgon and I've stayed in them all. Most motels in the area don't do much more than snacks and those that do meals do them very very badly. Gipps has the best room service in the area by far. I'd maybe suggest some double glazing for the windows given the traffic noise but it really does apply to all motels on the Princes Hwy.

We have been renovating and refurbishing our Motel for the last year.
The upgrades include:
New beds and bed covers
New carpet
All rooms repainted
New door fittings
New furniture, desk, lounges, Bedheads, bedside tables, and chairs.
New 32" LCD TVs

We can't do much about the trucks generally there's not that many later at night.
We are looking at ways to soundproof the front of the units.

“trucks galore”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2008

person found this review helpful

This property is located on the main highway. It is very clean but very noisy. Trucks use this highway 24/7 and there is a set of traffic lights just metres from the property so all you hear is trucks changing gear. Also do not overstay your welcome. Checkout is strictly 10am and we received a phone call at 10am to remind us so. We were packing the car when we were then reminded again. We departed at 10:15am.
