The motel was fine for one night while visiting Sovereign Hill, but it wasn’t great. The staff were friendly. The room was grimy and needed a deep clean. The facilities were fine, we had what we needed in the kitchen but it would have been a bit hard to cook a proper meal. The couches and beds weren’t that comfortable. The area around the motel was quiet but not much to do without driving, and the view outside our room was of an ugly equipment yard or something. I think there was a playground nearby but it was raining so we didn’t go there, but would be handy if it was nice weather. The breakfast was disappointing - I was keen to get the kids a motel breakfast where you tick what you want on a card, but they didn’t have that. They just had an overpriced breakfast box you could buy with cereal, juice and milk. Luckily we’d brought cereal with us just in case so we had that.

Nice tidy little room. Perfect for what we needed as we stayed for a basketball tournament - only thing to improve is the water for the shower was rather cold and didn’t heat up. Other than that happy with our stay - thanks!!

The main door into the room has gaps through which cold air was blowing continuously. This made the room very cold. The Aircon did not work properly, as the room was cold I had set the temperature to 28. Unfortunately, it was still cold. One of the thermal blankets was not working. If the above problems are rectified, then it would be an excellent accommodation and great value for money. Overall, it is budget friendly.

At first there was a problem with my door it wouldn’t unlock so I needed help where a fault was found but I could lock the door once I was in. Overall the place was very clean inside & outside. The only problem I really had was the bed was terribly soft and I got very little sleep, the mattress needs to be thrown out & replaced with a new one.

Overall my stay was satisfactory, one thing that I noticed was that the bathroom was a bit smelly which maybe was caused by the toilet leaking some water out of the bottom onto the floor. Also there were a few cockroaches in the room however there was fly spray provided.
