What guests think
At Barkly Motorlodge, reviewers highlight a central, walkable location, convenient parking, and generally clean, comfortable rooms with friendly staff, while also noting dated bathrooms, maintenance issues, and occasional noise from traffic or thin walls.
Cleanliness is often praised, but several reviews report inconsistent housekeeping and pests or mould, plus low water pressure, weak or faulty heating or air‑conditioning, and shower‑over‑bath setups that feel high, slippery, or cracked. The on‑site Asian restaurant and meals receive repeated praise, though service in the restaurant or at reception can be slow or brusque; nearby Sunday breakfast options are limited. Best suited to travellers prioritising value and location over polish.
