I loved that this motel is a small, quiet motel on the main Adelaide to Melbourne road. I particularly appreciated that it is pet friendly and that I could bring my dogs into the unit and crate them overnight. A great dog park is a few blocks away. I'll be using it again.

Clean, quiet and easygoing

An excellent little overnight motel stay on a budget or when launching out to the nearby national parks. A bit unassuming on the outside but newly remodelled rooms with nicely redone basics and bathroom. Clean, quiet despite the close access to the main road, and easy check in-out. Will definitely visit again when in the region.

A really good place for a stopover during a long trip. The only drawback was the aged (I assume) heating system which was in the bathroom. it had a big space to heat, which would likely uses up a lot of energy!

The only air con was in the bathroom, no other fan to move the air around the room. When asked one was provided however.
The pool is outdoors with no cover for shade.
It looked like the \"spa?\" Was being installed/repaired.
The pool gate was left open overnight, not very safe for kids.

Overall the room was clean and tidy.
The hotel is located on the main road from Melbourne to Adelaide and was easy to find.
The room was very quiet and we could hear no road noise from the traffic.
We arrived quite late (1:30am) due to a break down, but the owner got up and welcomed us and got us settled in without any problems. The service was outstanding.

Comfortable and convenient motel

The Darlot Motor Inn is js off the main road in Horsham. Easy to find, quiet and good for an overnight stay while travelling. Better than usual motel amenities, with a microwave, tea/coffee and nice crockery for a convenient breakfast. The owner/manager, Ross, was very obliging and provided a jug of fresh milk which was much appreciated and better than the usual long-life capsules.

Needs a little TLC

Website says there is wifi but there simply isn't .. shower pressure poor.. very very loud heating system that sounded like a tractor, so could not be left on overnight which left our family so cold ..overall we just needed a bed but unfortunately it was the wifi that attracted us to this low budget hotel, which ended up being non exsistant. Unfortunately the reception area when you walk in also has an over powering smell of stale cigarettes which sets a poor standard before you even get to your room...

Nice location, but too much insects

The location is great which is pretty close to the Horsham centre. However, there are few spiders crawling on the ceiling which is a complete turn off! But the staffs are friendly and nice!

Having a nice hot shower is a bit difficult for us, as we are not managed to adjust it, either too hot of too cold!

Overall, it will be a great place for a few nights stay!

Don't judge a book by it's cover

When we drove into Horsham and saw the Darlot we wondered whether we had made the right choice of motel.
It looks tired from the exterior, and to be honest the rooms are in need of an upgrade as well. However the rooms were extremely clean and tidy, had all the usual amenities and were certainly adequate. As an added touch Tracey, the proprietor, supplied a jug of fresh milk so we didn't have to drink our tea and coffee with the disgusting long life stuff that you get in most motels.
