Staff were courteous but the room badly needed minor cosmetic repairs. Also not very clean, spider webs, dirt around tap handles and worst of all was a dog barking day and night (room 6).

Vidar
Decent roadside motel of former glory
While a bit old and run down, it served the purpose. The aircon worked well, it had been cleaned to a good standard, and the beds were very comfortable. Added bonus when travelling with a 7 year old, the pool was very nice!
Aub

Ann
The room had everything we needed and our meal from the restaurant was excellent.
Julia
The person is a professional and so nice all the people working I the Motel .thank you
David
There's not to much to like about this property, the staff seem very friendly, but that's about all . The room smelt very musty was not very pleasant, we brought a air freshener for the room. The restaurant was closed so no breakfast for the time we were there, no room service & no internal phone, peak holiday season restaurant should have been opened. Pet friendly motel so we had barking dog's from time to time. Carpet in room looking tired, balcony door handle very loose not game enough to use in case it fell off. front screen door have to slam to close, cannot access table chair unless you move single bed, no exhaust fan in bathroom. Very out dated it was not worth $148 a night, we have stayed at better places for less.
Jeremy
Super friendly owners and staff, very informative.
Check in and out was very easy and quick.
Ordered dinner from their restaurant and they were happy to bring it to the room which is great service in a motor inn.
Room was really clean, everything worked and in good condition no complaints at all.

Tracey
Staff very helpful, courteous and flexible.
Greg
As a pair of “ Bushies” we found the noise of night time traffic a bit of a pain. Despite this, we really loved our stay and will certainly be back.
Patrick
Staff friendly, unfortunately looks as if the apartment hasn’t been renovated from the mid- ninety’s, needs power points besides the bed, had to pull out bed because that’s where there was a power point. Guess you get what you pay for.
Susan
Just needed overnight accomodation. It met our needs and we left early next day. There was no uht milk though which if you are getting up early in the morning g would have been nice to have made a tea/coffee before we left.
Justin

Staff were very helpful.
Steven
It allowed me to have a small dog.
It was noisy, room 1 was long a slightly dirty, linen was old, towels old, cockroaches were big. Room 1 is for disabled and pets but trying to get a wheelchair over pebbles and to restaurant - challenging. Beds were old, worst sleep I had in years. Will not entertain the thought of staying again.

Mary
Budget Motel Close to Wying Leagues Club
A convenient place to stay for access to Wyong Leagues Club. Parking is a problem unless you get there early.
Bob
Just off the Main M1 motorway, We stopped here for the night rather than battle with Sydney traffic after a long day's drive
Colin
Not staying again
Pretty poor quality and my room smelt like a fish coop. Very basic facilities.
Adele
Great place to stay

Nice to stay with the pet. Very convenient to bring a dog as it is pet friendly accommodation and close to a dog park. Public transport is convenient to Wyong Station and Lake Haven Centre shopping.

Staff are lovely.The room was spacious,bed was comfortable,blinds didn’t shut properly,a/c worked perfectly but the bathroom/shower had a bad leak that was wetting carpet at bathroom entrance.In general it was a pleasant enough stay
Mike
Close to motorway.
The motel is run down. The initial view is poor due to the overgrown front garden and the old paint on reception entrance.
The room smelt of dogs ….in the carpet!! We wouldn’t have stayed had we known you allowed dogs in rooms. Chipped paint around the door frames was a clear indication that the place hasn’t been cared for.

We had a stopover on this place and we highly recommend. It was cleaning and the space was big enough for two of us. We had good assistance and everything worked well.
Neil
This was a pleasant place to stay in a very good location for us. The bed was excellent, the room was clean and tidy, the kitchen was well supplied and it was very quiet.
There was plenty of room.
We liked the restaurant being on site.

Had to leave after 20 minutes due to loud and aggressive domestic dispute between other guests which made us feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. Did not receive a refund.
Joanne
Manager/owner ? seemed to be totally inconvenienced by our arrival. Receptionist was lovely. Room was clean but dated.
Sunday morning had the fire alarms going off for a solid 10 minutes before we went to see where the owner/manager was, to find him sitting at the desk and complain that this had happened before, and turn them off. Two alarm lights were on separate rooms. (He did do a room check)

Not so good
Peter was grumpy both on the phone and in person -not friendly or welcoming at all .
Place is old and could use a coat of paint and refurbishment to modernise it . Looks like this was ex housing commission apartments.
Parking was not allocated to your room so you can’t park just outside your room.
Noisy drunks fought all night in the next room but there is no-one to complain to as reception was closed .
On the plus , the women working there in housekeeping were all very friendly and helpful.

Rooms clean and comfortable.. Lots of traffic noise as windows not soundproofed and our room was on the main road side. If you need to sleep request a room at the back. WE didn't use the restaurant nor breakfast as we had other plans.
