I booked this hotel for one of our drivers, booked and paid for with company credit card. I sent the driver the full itinerary, he arrived and they refused to let him stay because he did not have a physical card on him, they also refused to let him order a meal.
I book hotels regularly for drivers and have never had this happen to any on them. Absolutely disgusting, they did not even have the decency to contact us to verify and or sort it out. I am still waiting for a phone call back from them this morning as their phone goes straight to answering machine. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

The facilities at the pub and near are excellent. I would suggest getting a room with shower. The accommodation is very basis but ok. The location and ammenities nearby are what makes this a good place to stay

They need to spend more time in the bathroom because it was disgusting if I could show you photos of it terrible it smelt very musty and I’m an asthmatic so I coughed all night. It could do with a better mattress facilities wasn’t good at all. We will never stay there again but I have to say that the food there was absolutely beautiful. the room needs to do a bit more in the room get rid of the mole that is in the bathroom we stayed in room 13 disgusting.

Staff were great and helpful, room cleanliness was extremely substandard. Ensuite bathroom felt like a public toilet. Carpets felt grimy. Bedding had blood and large yellow stains. “Shared living space” is two chairs and a coffee table in a hallway. Hallway smelt like smoke. Booked for two nights and ended up leaving after the first. ‘The Mill hotel’ is only a 5 minute drive away and around the same price, absolutely a steal for the price. If you’re wanting to stay in that area I highly suggest staying at the Mill instead. Honestly sleeping in the train station right next to the motel would be cleaner and give you a more peaceful sleep than the Panania Hotel.

I was happy with the accomodation but I left some expensive medicine in the room and emailed the hotel about it and received no answer back.
Communication not good.
My only gripe really as the staff were great and helpful in site

Didn’t have much room cleaning. Paid fees for cleaning included in costs and received about 1 set of bedsheet changed within a week and a half stay. The toilet seat looked rusted and the shower was most definitely rusty.

Bar and restaurant were ok but no breakfasr at the restaurant. Rooms were dirty and not well equipped. Bath/ shower was terrible and stinky.
I had paid for 4 nights but left after the first night.

This property charged 140 dollars for a room with a bed and 2 sheets. No bathroom, no storage, nothing else. I could have booked twice the service for half the price. Reprehensible. Will never return.

Unfortunately upon check In the room I was given had not been cleaned. I was given another room that was clean but I had to use 2 different keys due to a malfunction which took about an hour to sort out. After travelling from Melbourne this was quite an inconvenience. I arrived on Friday night and the music was terribly loud from down stairs from the bar. So much so I couldn’t sleep at all until it was finished at around 1am and I could still hear people vomiting in their rooms and walking about. Two people had showers which were as so loud it woke me up at 3-4 am. Then at about 5.30 am someone tried to enter my room.
The manager and staff were lovely and offered me dinner the following night, but I decided to leave as I was driving back to Melbourne and knew I would get no sleep anyway being a Saturday night with the rooms not being noise proof at all.
The room was basic but clean and comfortable.

We didnt realise it was a complete dump, the photos are from when the place first opened, all the money clearly goes into the pub as the establishment is a fine venue, however the hotel is not actually a hotel, its more a motel vibe.
It was that bad we didnt even stay 1 night we walked out and went and found accommodation elsewhere.

Room with just a bed and side tables.

Staff were friendly enough, but facilities are a little lacking. No fridge. No lamp, no cupboard. Sink in bathroom has an unsuitable tap installed, sprayed everywhere whenever I washed my hands. Plumbing not great, shower went from hot to cold and then hot again.. Had strange characters that climb on the roof (view of my window) to smoke, did not feel safe. Due to lack of furniture, I had to sit on the floor to eat...

Paid $140 for a room with a bed and a light. No heater/aircon, no side tables, no tv. Toilet and shower were down the hallway.
Staff advised they were going to get a heater and put in our room. Didn’t happen. No extra blankets. Pretty cold nite.
Parking was good. Pub /bistro downstairs was very good.

Not good.

There was a coles bag wrapped around a smoke alarm in the bathroom when we first got the room, not a good look and makes me question if they clean. Check out was 10 but someone came around before 9 waking people up asking if they were gone yet which woke us up.
