Light switches broken in room 10 near the door dirty finger prints left on walls
Renee
The lights in the bathroom, kitchen and main bedroom did not work. Housekeeping was good, rooms cleaned everyday.
Kathryn
It was the best stay we'd had on our entire trip and it was a really welcome surprise how good it was. So clean and easy to access. Would recommended highly. Perfect for a family stay.
Adam
Rooms were spacious. Heating wasn't the best, however it was cold the weekend we stayed. Ideal if you have teenage kids and want separate rooms.
Betul
Nice and clean 👍
Richard
Excellent place except the bathroom floor is extremely slippery when wet. Shower too.
Martin
good
Chris
Left air con going when went out, returned back to room to find they had turned air con off! Cockroaches in room also ants, would never dtay there again
Narelle
Didn’t like that you have to clean your own room before leaving or u are charged extra, over priced, and had family room but only provided items for 2 people eg, shampoo biscuits ect, unhappy customer.
Nigel
Clean and tidy, comfortable bed. Thought the price for one night off peak was a bit high.
Bab
It is a nice little hotel great price but could use some upgrade but for the price we were pretty happy
John
Room smelt of strong cigarette odour and rooms clearly non smoking. A lot of people smoking out front of rooms and outdoor ashtrays not emptied. Had to request a room change after a bad nights stay.
Anne
One night stay Oct. 2024. Property is on the main road, but far enough back that it's not noisy.
Our room was huge - it included a second bedroom which slept 4 more! We didn't need that.
Good kitchen. We bought food from the grocery store (1.5 km away) and cooked our own supper. The 'downtown' is about 1.5km. in the other direction, if you're looking for restaurants.
Good accomodation. Recommended.

The room had not been cleaned completely; the previous sheets and towels on the floor and dishes in the sink.
wendy
I chose this venue based on pay on check in. As we were checking in late, payment was demanded over the phone.
Left over food found under one of the beds and unable to use the electric blankets due to unsafe frayed plugs.

Never again
Reception met with friendliness. The room was not where reception indicated. All surrounding people were smokers and the entrance to my room required me to walk through smokers and butts. My outside table was dirty with ash. People sat outside room smoking and it entered my room
Rebecca
Firstly as you pull up to the Office a child runs to your door & demands why are you here? The office has a very unpleasant smell. Staff are polite but not really welcoming. The room is average, the floor squeaks no matter where you walk on it. The bathroom looks like it was recently renovated but there is no handle on the inside of the shower door so can not close door without a lot of difficulty. The room door sticks so it’s a battle to get in or out of the room. Parking is terrible.
Terence
It was ok but a very important thing. As soon as you arrive you like a cup of tea/coffee. No milk in fridge.
Lawrence
Not up to a 41/2 star stay
stacey
it was not worth the money we paid too stay there the bathroom when we pulled down the shower head it nearly fell off and the whole wall shook felt like it was going too give way we werent offered milk for coffee our car space was taken by the people next door so yeah we wont be booking there again
Sarah
Spa was lovely after long drive from Melbourne Metro
Melinda
The room was clean however very cold
Sue-Maree
Conveniently located and the bathroom has been renovated recently. Unfortunately there appeared to be a smokers section just outside our room which was offputting. Last time (pre-Covid) we had a family room and it was really well appointed. This stay we had to ask for a plug so that we could wash our dishes and a teaspoon for our coffees as we only had dessert spoons provided.

Good all round

Richard
One of the caretakers stays in unit 24 and is in and out banging the doors all night and he had the vacuum cleaner on at 11:30pm as well as drilling something in his room around 11:45pm. Very difficult to sleep there.
Darren
Brilliant super clean and quiet. Great staff and we will be back
Wei
It’s different as shown in the photos.
Regina
All positive about our stay. The accomadation was excellent. Thank you for the up grade. We will stay at the Blue Whale Motor Inn again
paul
Excellent motel with easy access. Staff were top notch.
Warrnambool is a beautiful city of 35,000.
We got food food from Penang Alley owned by a five term
city mayor. Excellent.
Would stay again.

Clean, comfortable at a good price.
A lovely room with ample room. We booked a deluxe room and we were upgraded to a two bedroom apartment. Kitchen is quite small but as it was only an overnight stay, it was more than enough.

Stayed 3 nights was clean and looked fresh on arrival . House keeping was very friendly and helpful over at nice place would stay again…
Kelly
The rooms were very clean and spacious, great for families. The view from the rooms were amazing! It was about a 10-15 minute walk into the town, or a quick 2 minute drive. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again

Quick and easy check-in / check out. Friendly and helpful staff. Ample parking. Easy to find on the main highway. Had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Mervyn
To noisy from room 24 the first night, more than 2hrs of thumbing sounds that echo in our room.
Other guest smokers outside in our area down below, maybe a group that stayed, could still smell smoke even though the door and windows closed. Ash tray over filled, yes you can tell we were non smokers.

Good location had a kitchen to be able to cook your own meals. Very comfortable. Hi
Taryn
Room was nice, it was a bit different to the pictures I saw online but I guess they all are. Bathroom was modern And nice.
We only stayed one night, it had all the things we needed. The only thing I can complain about is the car park was hard to navigate for the room we stayed in, and the blinds were a tad short so there was a gap in the window

The main dislike was that the toilet seat was not fitted correctly & slid from side to side. Possibly wrong lid for bowl?
Other than that everything was OK.

Tammy
It was a nice basic room, it was however very clean
Geoffrey
I booked a 2bdr apartment only because the price was so fantastic. I didn't require the extra bedroom as I'm a solo traveller but, at $210 for 2 nights, what a bargain!!
The motel may be on the main road but, it's superbly quiet, a 5min drive to the Warrnambool CBD which has great food outlets, and, it's central to everything.
Will definitely stay there again!

Queen room with single bed was spacious. The renovated bathroom was very nice. Our room at the back of the property was away from the road and very quiet at night. Location of the property was convenient for everything in Warrnambool.
The only thing I didn't like was the wall light above the bed which was behind a wooden cover which meant you couldn't sit up in bed comfortably as the wooden casing extended too far over the bed.

Go , stay couple nights then you find out what this property need to improve. It’s seem no point to say something to the person who doesn’t accept the reality.

The stay was exceptional, the overall cleanliness was great, except one of the bedroom cabinets were broken. Everything else was fine. Overall, I recommend this place, as its cleanliness was awesome and is great for a family trip.
Verified traveler
Good for a quick stop in, staff was friendly and knowledgeable to the area, playground and on site parking, it’s situated right in between everything which made it easier when exploring the town. pretty happy for the price overall.
Only negative things were there was no quilt cover on the blanket and the shower could have been cleaned better.
Not bad overall!
