Shower floor was not clean. There was no phone service. They given me a room up stairs, but I cant go up, due to travelling with two dogs which they knew. So given me a small room without kitchenette and had to pay the same then a more luxurious room.

The office was closed. Checked in by phone and told where to find the key. Large crates of used bed linen left outside by stairs. Smoking (supposedly) not permitted in rooms (which smelt) but only outside on balconies? Room was tidy and clean but the motel is old and appeals to truckers and trades people. 2.5 stars

I know that recent floods have affected Kempsey, but the condition of the property was sub standard. The room was great, didn't see any staff. Was unable to have showers as their wasn't any hotwater. Very disappointing.

Older motel with torn curtains but comfy beds & good heating. Area around property quite average but also aware they've recently suffered the floods which has left mud & damage around. Overall fit our needs for a night's sleep while on the road.

Reception communicated any queries and problems during our travels and had no problems allowing us to pay for late checkout the following day. Bed, lounge and pillows were all comfortable and its close to shops. The only downside was we could hear every footstep and other noises from the room upstairs. Saying that this will definitely be my motel of choice when in Kempsey.
