Clean and tidy, very comfy bed, good size with lots of room and quiet. Even gave me extra towel :) Parking was easy but if fully booked there would not be enough parking for all guests. My only thought would be to change one of the power points to a power point that also has a USB/USBC socket as that would be very handy for people tgat are travelling. Otherwise it has everything you need. Value for money i think as well.

It was claimed that I had a booking with this establishment through Expedia, when I declared that I did not confirm such a reservation, nor did I receive or I acknowledge any confirmation sent to me within 3 months of the stay.
The property did call me to see where I was on the night of question and I notified them of this error, yet they still proceeded to charge my card with no contact to myself. My credit card was charged and now I am having a very hard time trying to recover the funds for my supposed reservation that never happened. I have reached out to Expedia several time with no response, hence I thought I would try the hotel directly. I appreciate any response.

Disappointed the king bed was 2 singles joined together. My partner and I kept getting stuck in the middle as it would dip where it joins. Needs to be a screen on the glass sliding door, and the desk in the room was chipped all over with marks. Not what i would expect for a premium king room.

The property is old and tired and requires some love to be put into the rooms. Door does not shut well and back of it has a lot of double sided tape where signs clearly used to be that neede removing. Great big tv but behind it is a huge eye sore. Walls very marked especially behind desk. Aircon incredibly noisy but worked well enough. Not enough lighting at all. Lights for bed only area should be highly considered as the bed space looks very uninviting. Sheets are awful and scratchy yet pillow cases were oddly soft - likely linen companies fault. Tried to turn on spa bath tap and it fell straight off into the bath. The tap is also quite far so you need to stand in it to even turn water on. Positive is that the receptionist was kind and helpful. The offering of water and milk upon check-in is good also. Rooms just need refurbishment

Fabulous stay. From the first welcome by Natalie in reception to the size and comfort of the room, everything was fantastic. A big surprise was that our room was being checked to ensure all clean and ready for our stay when we arrived, not seen that before.
Bed is super comfy with plenty of room to move around. Microwave and the addition of a toaster in the room made it a very convenient stay. Would certainly come back again if in the area and it’s a much nicer place to stay than our previous stays in Maitland itself. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Good location.
Lots of loose retaining wall blocks from crumbling garden beds on ground. Air con very noisy, couldn’t be left on while sleeping. One pillowcase and bathroom mat weren’t clean.
Every time the room next to us opened and closed their door it slammed so hard our walls shook. This happened a lot.

Off the main road a bit so road noise was minimised. Pub next door for a great dinner.
Price was acceptable for the family room of double and a single bed. Bath for the weary bones and good hot water.

Happy

It was lovely. The little welcome pack was a great touch and the rooms were big and clean.
Only negative was that the bathroom exhaust didnt work and the room steamed up due to no windows

The motel is located in a great location and friendly staff we were not happy that it did not have a radio alarm clock in the room or a toaster as my wife is a diabetic and requires something to eat otherwise we enjoyed our stay at this motel

The room was well laid out and clean. Staff co-operative and helpful.

Some hassles with my booking but that was an artefact of the Wotif website. I needed to plan around the office being working hours only.

Mediocre stay

The staff was unavailable when we checked in, had to ring emergency number to check in. They gave us the wrong room number, but was corrected on 2nd call. The door was hard to open as the door handle was broken. Mattress is past used by date

Best thing about the place is it was very clean, TV was an old Samsung plasma with no streaming, no fan in the bathroom made it very steamy. Won’t stay here again.

Holiday

While I enjoyed the booking in process, I had a fall in the bathroom as the floor was left wet, I did report it to Reception. Thoroughly enjoyed the pool. The receptionist was lovely.

Comfy rooms.

The room was very comfy and spacious. The outside could have used a good cleaning and the pool area had no chairs, lounges, or umbrellas. The rooms were much better than anticipated looking at the exterior.

Nothing unique at all, my first room was so smelly,I had to get a room change, staff were ok but a bit put out to have to find me a new room , and then said, we won’t charge you and extra. I certainly wouldn’t have paid any extra, they should have offered me a discount if anything.
The fridge and aircon extremely loud, and mattress had no support at all. My key card to enter the room had to be recharged, as it wouldn’t unlock my door, lucky it was during the day and not after hours , as I would have been totally locked out . Not happy at all
