Good quiet location with comfortable rooms

Review of eMotel
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Oct 2024via mobile
Rooms are spacious, clean and with good facilities. I appreciated the washing machine which worked well and easy to operate. Bed was comfortable and rooms clean and fresh. Location was close to town centre and quiet. Good off street parking

A great place to stay - I loved how simple the check in process was, and the unit itself was beautifully appointed - very comforable chairs, good selection of channels on the TV, great products in the shower. The bed and shower were fantastic! Extremely convenient - an easy walk to the CBD. All in all, highly recommended.

Friendly, spacious, comfortable, warm and quiet. It was great having keyless entry even though we'd forgotten the pin. Staff were helpful and didn't complain that we'd forgotten it. Location was perfect. It was very handy to restuarants and the lake. Although it was from a distance, it was lovely that the lake could be seen from the rooms.

Comfy bed, very easy check in. Short walk to the waterfront was nice. Shops quite close by. Shower was quite nice. Has a nice little deck out the front and an outside area out the back to soak up the sun if desired. Tv in the bedroom was also a big bonus:

The location was excellent, within walking distance of many things we wanted to do.
The room more than met our needs and expectations. The kitchen had all the appliances and cooking utensils we needed. The door was controlled by an entry code, which I really liked. WiFi was excellent too.
Our room, #1, would also be perfect for a family.
I would recommend a stay here to anyone.

I must admit, when I pulled up, I wondered if I were at the right place. The exterior looks like an old 1950s motel however this all changes once you step in your unit.

On arrival you can see the motel is newly furbished. All the fixtures are new, including two comfortable recliner chairs, kitchen appliances, and bathroom. The unit contains two large smart TV with full sky, fast wifi and a combined front loader washer dryer. There is also a heatpump/ac in the room which worked fine.

There were no issues at all with the room, I was left in peace the 4 nights I was there and I figure you just ask for your room to be serviced. This was no issue for me as I was alone and had plenty of towles and was not in the unit a lot.

If i could be hyper critical, the shower shelves are due to be taken out and scrubbed as they are stating to show signs of hard to get grime and the signs in thr bathroom held on by blutak is a bit Meh, but if that's all I could think of it's clear that this is a good motel.

Parking is on-site next to your unit door, if full it can be a squeeze but there is parking to the side of the building if your not confident reversing in your park.

In all a lovely, comfortable stay. I would stay again. Well recommended.
