When we got the extra blankets out of the cupboard one had a big hole in it. The lounge chair was filthy & broken , my husband nearly went through the wall twice. I’m mobility impaired & if I had sat on it I would have ended up in so much pain. He spoke to the reception & the man said he would get it fixed & it was still sitting out the front when we left the next day
We would never stay there again

Get some help/advice

We saw the advertising promoting newly renovated rooms and being one of the most modern motels in Tamworth. Ah, no! You really need some guidance, half measures and focusing on the wrong things doesn't work. Ask what's more important to your guests! New magnetic key locks or clean linen that is not stained from goodness knows what, and if the reverse cycle air-conditioning doesn't heat the room replace it don't stick a bar heater in hoping it will do. Speaking of cold nights, it was -2 and the only blanket was one of those thin cotton things. This motel is in a awkward location, terribly noisy from the traffic. We could see you are trying to fix the place up but get some help.

It's a NO from me

Would I stay here again? NO! In fact, I did not stay the 2 nights I had booked. I left early. I should've asked for a refund.
Now I am not a precious person, and I do not have 'fancy' standards, however......
The photos on the internet are NOTHING like what it actually looks like.
The bedding was stained and had cigarette burns in them. My room was supposed to be a queen bed, but it was only a double. I did not sleep in the bedding, lucky I had my own blankets in the car and used them.
The mini fridge was held up with duct tape.
There was some kind of air freshener used that was awful.
The location is VERY VERY noisy and I did not get any sleep.

The gentleman upon arrival was lovely and very welcoming but that was just about the only positive I could give :(

We booked this motel because of the good reviews. But unfortunately we did not have a good experience. When we walked into the room, the smell of smoked cigarettes was so strong and overwhelming. They used some strong scented product in the room to disguise the smell. The combination of the strong smells was just unbearable. We requested a change of rooms which was not a problem. The staff was very friendly and changed our room to one with a kitchenette. But we did not make any use of the kitchen. To our disappointment, the upgraded room also smelled like someone had smoked there. We decided to stay in the room, but we did not enjoy our stay at all. We were pretty tired and did not want to drive around with a tired 3 year old.
The shower is a bit squeezey even for one person of normal weight.
The beds were comfortable but a couple of the pillow covers had brown stains on. Not nice.
Breakfast was good for a simple continental breakfast.
Overall, I would not go back there to stay that's for sure. The room was overpriced for the overall quality and experience being offered.

The property is clean and great value for money. Some of the inside units are dated but well maintained.
There is no parking opposite rooms but there is parking behind the building.
The staff (one lady) are friendly and kind but she's a jack of all trades so sometimes hard to get hold of. She offers great discounts for Direct bookings.
Also, if you have mobility issues be sure to request a downstairs room as some of the rooms are accessed via internal stairs.
I would stay here again, we had a great stay

Kind of them to upgrade us to the 2 bedroom. Larger but old carpets, creaky floorboards. Cleanliness probably bit disappointing, not as expected-maybe should have just stuck with what we booked originally with the queen bed + sofabed as photos appeared cleaner. Rat issues but I understand the plaque we're facing at the moment. But won't be rushing to come back. I read they are working on upgrades, hope this is sooner than later. Breakfast pack is lovely.

It was in a good location for our needs. It was a bit noisy because we were under the stairs to the 1st floor, so heard every step and although we couldn't hear speaking, we heard the moving around noises. The WIFI worked for one of our devices.

Other than that, I had no issues. The bed was comfy and so was the room.
