Affordable stay

Pretty much what I expected from a budget motel. Room was a bit tired and run down, but it was clean and quiet. Service from the reception staff could have been better. Attached hotel does a decent meal, and the location is conviently located a short walk from resturants, supermarkets, and the train line.

I recently stayed at the Waterloo Bay Hotel. The facilities were well-maintained, and I felt very safe, which added a lot of comfort to my stay. The staff stood out for their friendliness and professionalism. My room was well-kept, and clearly cared. It was evident that cleanliness and maintenance are a top priority at this hotel. Parking was a breeze, with ample space and easy access. The location itself was another highlight: conveniently situated close to shops, public transport, and a wide variety of dining options. Whether I wanted a to eat at the hotel or within walking distance. Overall, I recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and convenient place to stay with great service and plenty of nearby amenities.

Bedding was clean towels were clean, I understand this is Australia, so to have a few cockroaches here and there isn’t really that surprising. There was spoiled food left in the microwave. The Wi-Fi did not work. This was a little disappointing. Just an honest review.
