Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Detailed Reviews
There aren't many options in town for accommodation, especially if you're not booking really far in advance. The motel was a great last minute booking for me. The room was really clean and it did the job. Great water pressure in the shower (felt like I was going to get blasted through the screen) and the motel location is perfect. Walking distance to everything in town. Sunny, who runs the hotel with his partner, is super lovely and I enjoyed having a nice chat to him.

If you are passing through town this is an adequate place, if staying longer I would look elsewhere. The hotel is located within walking distance of the town centre. It has a slightly run down vibe but the rooms are clean and functional. The room is pretty minimalist decor and furnishing wise making it a shower, sleep and move on motel rather than destination in itself. The mattress is firm and the bathroom a good size. Cars can be parked out side rooms on the gravel forecourt. It has a pool but is currently closed, that said it is still a bit cold to consider a swim.

We stayed 2 nights at the Castle Motel. Sunny and Jaz were very friendly and helpful. The Queen Deluxe was a lovely clean modern room. The motel is in an ideal location. Walking distance to town and tourist sites (Burke & Wills Monument etc). The room had airconditioning (very appreciated as it was very hot while we were there) and a great pool also helped keep us cool. Highly recommend staying here.

The Castle Motel is great value for money - a comfortable bed in a larger than average room. Bathroom also very spacious- great shower! Everything was very clean, and staff helpful. Perfect location for a short walk in to town.

Rooms are Old and outdated and in need of a updated/reno
Pool was closed.
Most disappointing parts we the lack or service ..for a 2 night stay id expect that the room would be made up ..there was no fresh towels even though we left the wet ones on the floor, the bed wasn't made, I didnt expect clean sheets.but a general tidy is what most motels do. The.tea and coffee bar was not not topped up. All that was done was the rubbish was emptied.
A sign was on the spare bed telling us not to put our bags there or a $30 fee would be charge was a bit rude ..strange idea when we already paid to use the room.

We booked the delux family room 1 DB and 2nd room 2 single beds. Unit was very clean and comfortable and it appears the rooms have recently been renovated very firm mattress with electric blankets only improvement would have been a couple of extra pillows. heating great reverse cycle aircon available. The stand out though was the shower a rain shower with amazing hot water pressure. Flannels and towels reasonable quality.Provided was a fridge electric jug microwave cups spoons ect. Generous supply of teabags and coffee sachets perhaps a small carton milk instead of long life milk pods.
Staff friendly upon checkin 2pm
$244.00 p/n very reasonable for 4 adults.
Off street parking. Easy walk to shops and cafes. Has a well fenced pool and playgroup area for families.
Would definitely stay here again.

The Standard room we booked for 2 nights was quiet and warm, the bed was quite hard but pillows were comfortable and we slept well. The bathroom was clean and shower nice and hot. As we were eating-in we asked for cutlery, which was supplied without any worries. The room could do with a repaint and a few repairs but overall we were very happy to stay there. Ideal location; easy walk to the main street, restaurants and theatre. Friendly staff made us very welcolme.

Quite a contrast with the motel we stayed the night before, Castle motel was very clean, friendly staff, everything was there that was needed. Great shower, and did not have to ask for milk. Good position, nice and quiet, but then, we were not facing the street traffic. Offering cash did not lower cost of room. Motel position good for shopping, no need to take car, but shop early as shops close very early.
