Large, Clean Room- Price Point Right

Reviewed By Gary_Childers

Regional Australia is packed with outdated motels that represent poor value. The Commodore is not one of them. Our experience here was pleasant with a price point (room rate- $167.00 per night), which was about right for this standard of place. The room was in good order and repair with quiet air conditioning and a clean, large bathroom. We stayed two nights and the room was serviced on the morning of Day Two (no longer a given in Australian motels). Car was right outside the room and the location of the motel was close enough to the C.B.D. that you could walk. One small point was that we were beside a main road, ask for a quiet room away from the busy road.

Excellent value

The lady on reception was fabulous and so helpful. Room was clean and tidy, had facilities to cook breakfast and we chose a cooked one which was delicious. Even though on main road we could not hear road noise. Would recommend this motel and we will stay here again.

Don’t ask for cooked tomatoes in your burger because the cook doesn’t understand why and feels the to comment loud, enough for the customer to hear. Maybe they could keep their opinion to themselves and do as their asked by their customers.

Confusing and upsetting experience

Reviewed By BeeBee01_83

My partner and I booked to stay two nights at this motel in March 2022. Andrew called me three days before arriving to confirm our stay and give us our room number. I confirmed and said we expected to arrive around 10pm. Nothing was said to suggest this was a problem. When we arrived the place was closed and locked up. I called his mobile, apologised for disturbing but asking how we access the room. He was obviously angry at being woken up and inferred that I was being unreasonable for asking him to get out of bed and let us in. I was confused and stated that I had told him that we would be arriving at about this time three days ago. He became more annoyed when I tried to explain myself and told me he didn't have to come and open the room for us. He also kept angrily asking me when was I last had to get up late in the night for work. He kept saying that I should have called that day to confirm. I can appreciate that he was annoyed about having to get out of bed. But I am confused about why the opening hours weren't explained to me, why we weren't told that arriving at that time would be a problem and why it wasn't explained that we needed to call on the day to confirm again. Had any of those things been explained, the situation would have been avoided. His anger and attitude that night was unnecessary and unjustified given the situation arose from a lack of information from him. A very confusing and upsetting experience. Will not stay again, would not recommend

The Federal Hotel

Great two night stay

Reviewed By Jill Z

Very comfortable and economical. Room was spacious and the bed comfortable. A little noisy being on the main road, but ear plugs were supplied. Added bonus was a voucher for a free drink from the bar downstairs. Had dinner in the Dining Room - only complaint was the lack of vegetarian items on the menu. Free on site parking. Would be happy to stay here again.

The motel is ideally located overlooking the city affording wonderful views. The room services are adequate for a budget motel. We were fortunate the motel was not busy so not bothered by noise of other guests. Good for an overnight stay if travelling through to Victoria.

a word of advice

Reviewed By Whywould

Stayed here recently for 3 nights in an executive twin and paid nearly $600 for the room. Found a charge of $4.64 on my credit card after checking out, for a can of coke from the mini bar which we did not take. When I contacted management at the motel about it, they said their cleaner recorded a can of coke was taken and refused to consider that a mistake could have been made and that as far as they were concerned it's the end of the matter. It's only a small amount of money but it's the principle of the matter. Why would I pay top dollar for a motel room and deny taking a $4 something can of coke ?? So, a word of advice to all the good people who are thinking of staying here, remember to check your mini bar daily and frequently lest something like this happens to you.
