Fantastic stay in Grafton

Reviewed By Sam L

The experience staying at the Fitzroy Motor Inn was a pleasure from beginning to end. The staff were super friendly (room was ready when we arrived early), the room was immaculately clean and well appointed, parking was convenient and plentiful and the proximity to the CBD made for a pleasant 5 minute walk. TExcellent value for money also and would very much recommend!

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.

Quiet time is between 10:00pm and 6:00am and we appreciate everyone enjoying themselves but being respectful of others and the noise limit. Come enjoy the peace and tranquility at Glenwood Tourist Park & Motel. Cheers Darren & Tracylee

Perfect budget stopover

Reviewed By Jaron2101

Ideal stopover for a long trip. Rated highly as budget stopover. Stayed in a standard double room in the hotel section of the place. The room was larger than expected. Comfy double bed, bar fridge, good strong shower, shampoo and soaps, table to sit/eat on. Reception has a selection of food, drinks and ice. It is an old place, but is looking well maintained and functioning. Will be using as a stopover in the future for sure.

Typical country pub

Reviewed By David S

Old pub in the heart of town. I booked for 3 nights and for $50 a night, I wasn't expecting The Ritz. The accommodation is on the first floor, above the bar areas, so it can be a bit noisy if you're planning an early night. My room contained two single beds, a bunk bed, ceiling fan and a sink with separate hot and cold taps (the cold didn't work). It was not airconditioned, nor were the beds fitted with electric blankets. Having said that, extra blankets were supplied and I was not cold despite the fairly cool temperatures outside. There were no wardrobes or drawers and the carpet has seen better days. The shared bathroom/toilet area has been renovated and was as good as you might expect in a motel offering private facilities (and charging considerably more). TV, microwave oven and tea/coffee making facilities were available in the guests/residents lounge area. I only ate at the pub on one occasion. The menu is fairly typical pub bistro food and reasonably priced. I enjoyed the schnitzel I ordered. Breakfast is not served at the pub, but the early-opening River Cafe across the road fills that void very well. Boys, if you're looking for a cheap, no-frills stay in Maclean, this is the place for you (but perhaps not the wife and kids).

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!
