    Pros +

    • Easy check in ,very friendly and helpful staff.lovely accommodations
    • Nice location well off the road to avoid traffic noise. Lovely location beside river. Parking in front of room. Clean.
    • the proprietors were very understanding about chaning my booking arrival date & time & left the key for easy access.the bed was very comfortable with fresh crisp linen. the bathroom was very well stocked, clean and easy to use.

    Cons -

    • A smell of cheap carpet cleaner hit me when I walked in. Had to open windows and leave front door open for a while! Old and worn facilities. I went to use the kettle and opened the lid and there was mud and water in the bottom of it! Luckily a microwave so I could heat up water for coffee in that! Always open the lid of motel and hotel kettles!
    • nearby there were some guests who were talking loudly enough to disturb my trying to sleep - not shouting, but easily heard as background noise, at 4am.couldn't see any air conditioning, which may be a problem on a humid night.
    • The room has a strong odor of bathroom smell. Ants and flying insects were around the toilet stall and shower area. Value to quality ratio is low since we paid over $200 for an overnight stay. There's also mold spots on the fitted sheet.

    Check in and check out was quick.

    I enjoyed the room with the balcony attached.

    The mirror and microwave were not wiped properly.

    8DavidPosted on: 3-19-2025

    we received an upgrade to a larger room, nice clean room

    8ShelleyPosted on: 2-28-2025

    Good sized quiet room with parking and close to town

    Very light

    8MaxPosted on: 1-31-2025

    A great place to stay whilst visiting wine country. Basic clean and comfortable accommodation. Good team in the hotel.

    Stayed on SAunday evening and there was a limite range of eating options. Not the Motor Inns fault at all but worth bearing in mind when travelling.

    8AbigailPosted on: 1-30-2025

    Quiet little spot by the river. Rooms appeared to be clean and all amenities worked well.

    Property is a bit dated and could use a spruce, new bedding, carpets etc. we were pretty desperate to wash some clothes, but laundry facilities were broken. Nothing that we couldn’t work around.

    5BenitaPosted on: 1-27-2025

    Basic older motel, as clean as it could be, very small bathroom, bed was quite comfortable, the area was very quiet, plenty of parking & you could park a large vehicle or trailer there, pool was clean

    Better window coverings are needed, rooms are in need of renovation

    6GeriPosted on: 1-26-2025

    Clean and comfortable

    Thought was overpriced for the standard of room, but it was a last minute booking and I needed the room.

    9ClairePosted on: 1-23-2025

    Close to town, large family room, large bathroom. Multiple beds. Very clean.

    A little dated

    6MaregelPosted on: 1-21-2025

    The location is good very accessible going to malls and groceries but poor wifi connection.

    The price is too high

    3RobertPosted on: 1-15-2025

    Wish I could come up with something positive.

    Bathroom, living room not really clean. Gave us a COT with stains on sheets. Really dissapointed. TV old and slow, Internet not functional. Overpriced by far...

    10KymPosted on: 1-12-2025

    Very welcoming & friendly manager. Grounds & room very clean & tidy. Lovely room by the river. Very quiet & great night of sleep

    10KathPosted on: 1-6-2025

    Lovely Old Fashion Motel right on the Macleay River. Clean, quite and good parking.

    9MatthewPosted on: 1-6-2025

    Good space and location

    Beds weren’t super comfortable but manageable for a few nights

    9RoderickPosted on: 1-6-2025

    Liked to be greeted. Nice looking place. Arrived late so had to get takeaway food. Kebabs not recommended. There is a nice bbq area near the river.

    The rooms were very old but clean and comfortable. We paid way over what it was really worth but it is holiday season

    7ElizabethPosted on: 1-2-2025

    Position near the River and it was quiet. We liked the old house and grounds we were very happy to be able to get accomodation as we hadn’t prebooked. We therefore had to pay more for a family room.

    Nothing to dislike

    7RobertPosted on: 12-31-2024

    Pleasant but far too expensive for a room of that Standard

    Asked for a better room for the price we payedNot granted
