This place was fine. If you are going to stay here, understand that the property is old, so the taps leak, the toilet seat is pealing, but the beds are comfortable, the staff are nice and it is very close to the beach. I honestly wouldn’t stay here again as I don’t think it was worth the price. I would stay in Sydney (Edgecliff Motel) and come to Cronulla Beach for the day.

The room was filthy, I had to wipe down surfaces before we could put our things on the benches, dried food, coffee rings and general dirt
Under the beds were had not been cleaned in I don’t know how long
Basin in the bathroom had all toothpaste marks
from previous guests
Filthy bathroom floor and long black hair on the floor
Broken toilet roll holders so toilet rolls are on the back of the toilet
No bath mat or washers provided
Minor fridge was rusted on the outside, frozen and iced on the inside and froze the food we put in there

I’d like to start with the positives, good location, bed was clean, hot water, but unfortunately, instant odour on entry of room, the bathroom/kitchen areas were not cleaned prior to our arrival, visible long black hair on floors, toothpaste spit on tap and mirror, hot plate area not cleaned, food and fat splashes visible,
Fan in main bedroom rubbing badly on light fitting and could not be used, extra fridge closed and turned off and smelt bad, mirror in bathroom extremely loose as unused soap dispenser attached, tap leaking and running onto floor, toilet seat peeling badly needing replacement, dampness under sink in kitchen and cockroaches roaming everywhere,
No washing up detergent, tea towel or shower mat. Otherwise reception staff were very pleasant.

We had little interaction with the staff and what we had was acceptable.
The place has had no maintenance in years and everyting seemed to be broken or missing including soap dishes in shower toilet roll holder and bathroom access door.
The toilet required multiple flushing.
We would not stay there again.

I stayed at a motel located in the middle of one of Sydney’s best beaches, Cronulla, priced at $165 per night. Staying at a motel by the ocean sounded like a great idea.

However, the experience was extremely disappointing.

The key card did not work, so I had to return to the office. The staff member on duty tried to open the room but was unable to. The card had to be reprogrammed, which took about 15 minutes.

The bedside lamps were not working. The staff had to change the light bulbs and bring extension cords from the office.

In the shower, there were used soap and shampoo left by the previous guest, which is completely unacceptable and unhygienic.

The shower taps were positioned very low, almost at floor level, supposedly for convenience.

The bed, mattress, pillows, and carpet smelled strongly of dampness and mold, making it impossible to sleep. As a result, I arrived at work exhausted, angry, and sleep-deprived.

Due to these serious issues and the unacceptable condition of the room, I am requesting a refund for this stay.

We had a pleasant stay at Cronulla Motor Inn. The room was clean, spacious, and had two separate rooms, which was perfect for our family of four. It was comfortable and suited our needs well. The only downside was that the stove was not working, and the TV remote didn’t have batteries. Overall, it was still a good stay and a convenient option for families.

I had two leaking taps that dripped all night. The room was clean and fresh, and the bed was very comfortable. I will continue to use this accommodation when in Cronulla.

the reception man didn't speak clear English, difficult to understand us. The bathroom was fairly new, clean & nice. The room #123 was infested with small black ants, everywhere. There was no cutlery or plates in the room. Went to reception to ask, he brought out a grubby broken cardboard box which had new cutlery but could only find 2 forks & 1 knife, waited while he went into 2 other rooms & gave us 1 knife which had been used & not washed. Then went to 3 other rooms & gave us 2 crockery bowls as he couldn't find any plates - we found this very poor & disgusting - not what we expected. We will definitely not recommend this motel to anyone nor will we stay there ever again. Expedia should not put their name on this motel, they should be ashamed to do that.

I’ve stayed in budget motels but this is the worst. I’m struggling to describe the bathroom, no shower curtain, completely open. Shower taps didn’t work properly, all the tiles which had obviously been painted over many years ago were chipped and flaking. The sliding door into the bathroom was nearly falling off.
I’m from regional NSW so wasn’t expecting anything flash but this was ridiculous given the Cronulla area.

Staff were friendly and the service was relaxed. Rooms were ‘surface cleaned’ but could do with a deeper clean and a pest control spray. The property itself is looking quite tired nowadays; could do with an upgrade. However, reasonably priced and location to Cronulla restaurants and beach is very handy.

We departed this motel early, despite paying in advance, due to the unsanitary condition of the room which did not meet the most basic of standards.

This property is old, dirty and in dire need of maintenance.

Despite the motel claiming to provide daily housekeeping, our room was not serviced at all during our five night stay. The rubbish bin was not emptied once. There were no cleaning tools provided (broom, dishcloths, etc.) We needed to visit the motel desk to ask for additional needs (toilet rolls, tea bags, towels, insect spray).

Bathroom - Cracked tiles, constantly running/dripping tap, window stuck open without screen, half flush out of order, hot tub out of order, mouldy grout, ant infested.

Kitchenette - Dirty microwave not cleaned from previous guests, dirty toaster not cleaned from previous guests, dirty fridge, putrid chopping board (put outside of room due to smell), dirty cutlery & crockery, freezer ineffective (door missing), ant infested.

Bedrooms - Dirty/soiled mattresses without protectors, external awnings badly damaged (multiple holes) deeming them ineffective. Iron but no ironing board

Pool - Covered and not available for use by guests. Surrounding area unkept and overgrown. This is used as a smoking area, despite claims of being a “smoke free property”. Entry to room overgrown.

Based on our disappointing experience, I would not recommend this property until such time major improvements in the way of service and maintenance have been made.

This is a great place to stay. It's an older facility that has been renovated. Our room had new paint, new carpet and just enough of a vintage feel to be quaint. The owners/staff are easy to work with. The Woolooware train station is an easy 8 minute walk. The beach is 1,000 steps away. Theres a cute mall with lots of dining options on the way to the beach. The bed is comfy, the AC cold and the shower hot. A great bargain place to stay. The pool is small and had a lot of debris but we did have a thunderstorm. There's laundry facilities but no gym-go to the beach and swim or walk the esplanade. Great stay!!
