Perfect for a night's stay

Reviewed By Sat_1412

We stayed for a night as a stop towards our journey to Sydney. The motel was in a quiet location, with neat, clean & comfortable rooms. The room was compact, but had all the necessary amenities that a motel usually has. The bed was very comfortable & we had a good night's sleep after a tiring journey. The local supermarkets (Coles etc.) were within walk-able distance. Overall a great stay & we would love to visit them again.

This is a motel from the 70s that has been well maintained, updated where necessary and has new owners with big smiles where nothing is too much to ask. Most importantly the beds are comfortable, firm and in excellent condition.

The cleanest room we’ve ever stayed in!

Reviewed By LisaK1504

The cleanest room we’ve ever stayed in! Positives: •clean - the bathroom was practically sparkling! And the room didn’t have that musty motel room smell. Soft, clean carpet - our baby tested this out, head first? •safe undercover parking - important when travelling!! •staff were so accommodating! Big thank you to Tracey who was so lovely on the phone and in person!! •we needed a portacot for our 7month old and when we arrived it was already set up, complete with sheets and blankets etc (we only rang half hour prior to arrival) (we have stayed at other places where you have to pick these up from the office and set up yourself) •the pool was closed for private use, however after asking, we were allowed in (we just wanted to dangle our feet) •great big, welcoming and clean communal balcony area which was nice to enjoy some time relaxing outside after a day of travelling •close location to takeaway. We had the most amazing Chinese (The Oriental?) delivered for only $4!! •Netflix and YouTube provided. Things to note: •only 2 teaspoons provided, but we realised on leaving that there’s a Coles about 2 doors down - though this wasn’t a big issue for us •the light on the tv illuminated the whole room when it was dark. We covered with a price tag when we woke to our baby during the night. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend Bent Street - safe, clean and accommodating to families!

Affordable option for Grafton

Reviewed By Azzsyd

The room was fine, no problem, see photos I uploaded. I arrived at 1AM in the morning, rang the telephone outside office, and one of the owners did check in process, no problem there either. It is around 1 - 15 minutes drive from Grafton, so there is nothing near the hotel, but this is a cheap and affordable option. Good fast Wi-Fi internet too.

Nice motel in Iluka

Reviewed By Barblaraine

Nice motel, very friendly helpful staff & owners. Beds are comfy, shower is great lots of hot water, with soap, satchels of shampoo & conditioner, fabulous air conditioning works very well. Good size TV with Foxtel & normal TV channels to choose from. Close to IGA & a short walk to the bowls club. The room had everything we needed, toaster, electric frypan, microwave, kettle & tea, coffee, sugar & biscuits. Also a separate element for cooking if needed. Although atm some construction is going on it isn't a big problem, as loads of parking in the street which is very wide & safe. Great spot also with a nice balcony for afternoon drinks while watching the sunset.

Lots of storage, comfortable furniture including a 2 seater sofa as well as 2 armchairs. Breakfast well cooked and good value. Anne and Andrew are very friendly and obliging. We will be back

A Ramsey hotel nightmare

Reviewed By Jenafarious

Arrived after booking online and all seemed well. Courteous friendlly and helpful. Gave key in advance with promises to bring plate up and cutlery. Arrived after really long shift to find no cup & saucer, plate or cutlery! Luckily I had my own work cup so could have tea but couldn't use the facilities I had paid for! Day 2 noticed toilet was backing up with sewage into bowl and floor constantly wet which I first thought was shower. Totally unacceptable and unhygienic when you have nowhere else to stand. Day 2 saw it worsening but suddenly the crockery and cutlery appeared! The noise of the nearby freight trains also intrude on your sleep if you're a light sleeper with the constant braking, screeching and high pitched noises all night. Outdoor facilities also need demolishing and renovating as in extremely poor condition and unstable. Day 3 morning the toilet was getting worse and I couldn't wait to leave! Sadly the management seemed oblivious and I was too tired to argue. 3/10 and a Ramsey hotel nightmare.
