The Presidential looked like part of the industrial complex from the outside, but our room had been extremely tastefully renovated inside. It was very spacious, super clean, comfortable and had everything our family of 2 adults and 2 kids (4&7) required for a good night’s rest en route from Castlemaine to Robe. Convenient for dinner options and a high-street coffee in the morning by the central sunken garden. Would stay again.

Have to say if your lucky to get a renovated room, its a good place to stay. However, I was assigned a non renovated room so not entirely happy, I blame Expedia for this as they have sold a room showing in accurate pictures and also blame the motel for allowing Expedia to do this. I almost call this a SCAM as Expedia do this often and accept no responsibility and they blame the motel and the motel blame Expedia. On the upside, at least a run down room was clean. So the property is making an effot. My advice is to confirm with the motel if your assigned a renovated room, if not assigned a renovated room, I would suggest seeking a price reduction.
