It’s central if you need to be in the heart of Orange. On arrival the young girl on reception was friendly. The room we had is dated and needs to be refurbished. Cleaning was a bit to be desired, there was an opened packet of biscuits with one biscuit left in it and on leaving, we found a top on the floor down beside the lounge and wall where a cleaner would of seen it if the whole room was vacuumed. Slightly overpriced for the condition of the rooms. Bed wasn’t great, we tended to roll into the middle.

Booked this last minute after a 5hr motorcycle ride. Checked in and changed and left to meet family for dinner. Returned late and showered late and found the bathroom ceiling covered in black mould with mould spores along the architraves, not just one of two patches but multiple spores.

The toilet bowl was also filthy towards the rim like its never been cleaned. Like ceiling or door trims.

Was only staying 1 night so nothing i could do at midnight. Advised reception at checkout.

Emailed management requesting a refund to hold them accountable for the motels poor hygiene standard. Was met with excuses and i should have told them at midnight, well im not sure what would have been at midnight let alone having someone come and clean the bathroom then.

Was offered $50 compensation after being offered less then accused of finding excuses to get a refund.

So this review is left to warn others to book elsewhere and as i told managment, its clearly not about money, but holding them accountable for the motels horrible hygiene standards. I wonder what else isnt cleaned properly???

Rooms were spotless, unexpectedly an extra bed was set up for my granddaughter, which was very nice. Very comfy beds. Room included the usual tea facilities, toaster, small fridge/freezer & microwave but need to bring your own plates & cutley. No problem to accommodate our late arrival. Indian restaurant on site. Great location, 1 minute walk to main street & my very important morning coffee.

Cockroach ridden jail cell.

This hotel is sheltering homeless people and they are not violent to other guests but they are loud, abusive to each other and always smoking or vaping outside of their rooms. I felt unsafe and very uncomfortable. My room had a cockroach nest somewhere in it so they were running around all the time.

The property is conveniently located- thats why we use it. Its prices are also reasonable. The property itself, however, could do with some maintenance. The bathroom has rainshower heads with a moveable arm for showering, however, the tapwashers need replacing as to stop the taps dripping one has to turn the taps so tightly that it is difficult to turn them on again. A cupboard handle was missing. Little things can make a difference when corrected.

Mid-city Motor Lodge is the best for convenience. It's right in the heart of Orange and walking distance to all the things you need whether it's shopping for food, browse around the shops or out for a nice meal at one of the nice cafe's and/or restaurants available.
The toilet and shower were clean and up to standard and so were the linen. Beds were comfy enough to get a decent nights rest. The only issue is that it is close to hotels/bars that play loud music at night until 12am, so it could be hard to sleep if that bothers you.
