Breakfast included in my tariff was delivered 3 days out of 7resulting in extra cost for us. Complaints had to be made through children because the manager was never there. Our window leaked during heavy rain resulting in wet bedding . We didn’t even get clean towels to replace the ones on the window sill and floor to soak up the rain . Those wet towels were on the floor for 4 days without being checked or changed. A very poor experience and not even an apology for the inconvenience.

Such a wonderful motel

Such a wonderful motel to stay in for a quick trip to Castlemaine! It was so cozy, modern, clean and comfortable, and had all the necessities such as a kettle, hairdryer, soap, etc! Checking in and out was so easy, and the staff were so kind and welcoming to us. Breakfast was kindly handed to us the night before! Would really recommend this motel, it was perfectly in the centre of town

On arrival we were informed that our room had been “upgraded”. I suspect that they had overbooked and had to move us to a different room that was not prepared for guests. I would have preferred the room we booked because I specifically chose it for the bathroom which looked to be in a better state than some of the other rooms. They had left a ceiling fan on in the room (during the middle of winter) clearly to try to address the smell. It smelt like a dog had been in the room. The carpets had not been vacuumed and there were pieces of what I suspect looked like chewed dog toy. The surfaces had not been cleaned, there were crumbs on coffee table and the bathroom sink has a massive build up of black grime around the taps. We did not bother raising these issues because it was late in the evening and we knew there were no other rooms available. The electric blanket on the bed didn’t work and the room was very cold. The bedspread was not clean. Terrible. You should inspect the property and consider removing it from your site as it is very misleading.

Overnight stay

Pleasant experience! I was hesitant due to some of the reviews - however it was clean and tidy and comfortable! A little run down but did the job for our overnight stay. Staff were lovely.

Neither of us could get the toilet to flush, pretty much ruined our stay. Staff were apologetic but it's apparently a known issue that is not being addressed. Yes, we followed the flushing instructions

Overall, the room was clean, my stay was enjoyable, the only 2 negatives I would have is, 1..there was a cover missing off the buttons to flush the toilet, 2... unfortunately I did not receive the complimentary breakfast.
