The Room was Clean & Comfortable, yes a bit dated, but fit for purpose.
We all had a restful night.

However, for a family of 4, the \"Family Room\" was very \"snug\", so I not sure about the value for money as we have stayed in plenty of other places for less $$ with space to move.

I also think an additional curtain across the bathroom would provide better privacy for the shower user as an unfortunately placed mirror meant the people on the beds see you coming out of the shower.

Great spot to stay at. The rooms are basic, but clean, good shower, comfortable bed, parking outside the door.
We had room 21 which backs onto gardens with the caravan park behind it. We slept soundly and didn’t hear any road noise. It was Saturday night and the hotel and motel were full with a DJ playing in the gardens which are next to the river away from our room. For an overnighter I would definitely stay there again. Walking distance to Moruya itself.

Older motel in need of a major upgrade/renovation. Stained & freyed carpet. Stained chair. Mould in bathroom which is extremely small. The most uncomfortable bed I've slept in as it needs a new mattress.
On a positive side, it is attached to a Pub & Bistro.

The shower and hand basin water was just luke warm! If not cold most of the time felt like the hot water was regulated. If it was 40 degrees outside having a cold shower would have been ok. there was no dish washing liquid to clean cups and utensils. Valance on single bed was all ripped and hang on the floor, tripping hazard, beds were comfortable, toilet seat definitely needs replacement as peeling, this is definitely a very old motel as it shows all the wear and tears.

Stopped here on a recent road trip. While the rooms we got were older they were clean and the beds extremely comfortable for the price. Went to the adjoining Hotel for a few cold ones as the sun set, they had music and decent traditional pub food. Nice flat pool table's and straight cue's if that's what you are into as well. It's a nice easy walk across the bridge to the town centre if you want coffee or breakfast in the morning.

Pictures on website are in my opinion not current.
Room was very dated and in poor condition.
I used a redemption night to stay but if had booked at $130 price advertised i would have been really disappointed.
Ate dinner in bistro and ordered a schnitzel.
Needed a steak knife to cut through schnitzel as was burnt and over cooked.
Came with a small salad and at $29 for meal it was a huge let down.
I ate meal as was starving.
Im a sales executive and travel frequently.
I would rate this venue a 1 or below.

Room was small, had a small tv, small shower, again if your into nostalgia it's ok. Noisy fridge.
No curtains to blockout the lights from outside carpark, no extraction fans so plenty of mould.
Bed was comfy, pillows meh.
You have an excellent position but please demolish this place and build a modern hotel/motel in its place.

Only one Hospital like Bright Yellow Tube Light way too uncomfortable for a small room. I small wall painting or anything to jazz it up that motel dreary wall look. It would suit one night stay after a long journey, just sleep and get out, other than that I would not recommend.

Unclean, rotten windows, carpet disgusting and not to mention the bathrooms missing and cracked tiles and mould in the corners and on the roof, considered driving 4 hours home and cutting our holiday short by 4 days as we were to late to book anywhere else. Trying to reach them to get refund of some sort. It’s not worth $1.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED

The motel had handed the whole property over for a corporate function and couldn't honour my booking but as compensation would gladly put me up at another recently renovated property and would cover the difference. I had to agree and assumed the other room would be at least of equal standard to what I had booked. Upon arrival at the other property all their motel rooms were occupied so I was given a room in a demountable tradies cabin on a building site. The 2nd half of the motel was still being renovated and I assume these cabins are used by the tradesmen. The bed was clean enough but the cabin had just been trucked in from an outback mine and was basic & mouldy and didn't have motel room facilities. I'm not expecting luxury in a crisis but there was no way this room was superior to my original waterside location so being charged the full amount by the original property is an insult. If they had any ethics they would have made the room complimentary and refunded my money in full. Disgusted.

The location of the pub and the beer garden area is beautiful, You can sit in a day bed by the river. The food and service was excellent. However the accommodation is very run down in desperate need of a face lift, there is no privacy when using the bathroom, there appeared to be a punch hole in the front door from a previous incident. There was loose wall panels within the room, i had booked 2 rooms but only 1 parking spot available as there was large trailer parked outsude our room. The carpark is full of pot holes. This was my last night of week away and was more expensive than all other accommodation the previous week.
