Expensive AND Mediocre

Review of Dupont Motels
2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 16 Mar 2018
This extremely expensive motel did not deliver in service commensurate to their fees. The unit was clean enough but the grounds resembled a tip which makes one wonder about the standards behind the scenes. No soap was in the unit but turned up after repeated requests while a request for some milk was rejected as they had run out! How can a motel working on a 90% plus occupancy run out of milk? Giving us two bottles the following morning did nothing to alleviate being without the night prior. The oven had not been cleaned and contained no baking tray on which to heat our pizzas. We cannot recommend them as being value for money.

Reviewed 16 March 2018

Our initial room was not what we booked and would have to use a sofa bed to fit in, which then would block the only entry/exit. Discussed with the staff who graciously upgraded our room for free, BUT....Would not let us stay without first paying a $100 'bond', the place was dirty. Stains on the bedding, toilet seat broken, no toilet roll holder, oven had not been cleaned and smelt bad, dial on oven missing. Decor was old and in desperate need of either a good clean or replacing. And this room was apparently worth $260 a night. At most id pay $135. We will never stay here again nor recommend it.

We made reservations for one night during the week and was extremely simple to check in. The room was everything you need for just a night out or two. We got a big single bed that was pretty comfortable. Pretty big closet space that is bigger than most motels give you (at least by motel standards). And most importantly everything was very CLEAN! We definitely will be visiting again soon for our future nights out.

Excellent value! Room was exceptionally clean, well-stocked, and in good condition. Beds were very comfortable and great for a good night’s sleep. The price was also right and the staff were very friendly! I was very pleased with the overall experience. Thank you

Great location. We have stayed here recently. The rooms are well designed. We enjoyed our stay here.The wifi is free throughout the motel and other amenities like flat screen TV etc. Overall it exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend staying here.
