What guests think

Many guests describe City Reach Motel as a convenient, good-value stopover with comfortable beds, friendly staff, and easy check-in, offering simple amenities that suit short stays when passing through Wangaratta.

The location is frequently praised for being a short walk to shops and restaurants, though one review felt it was too far from town. Rooms are generally spacious but dated, and several reviews cite ageing air conditioning, tight parking, and issues with the pool or in-room spa. Cleanliness feedback varies from very clean and tidy to reports of mould or poorly prepared rooms. Expect a straightforward, budget-style stay with friendly service and variable room quality.

Look, this is a budget motel, so not expecting high standards. But a/c worked poorly, room was freezing almost the whole time I was there. Also, no power points for me to plug laptop into - I had to wrestle with mounted TV so I could use the one plug on that whole wall. Also, there was plenty of black mould in the shower, so not all that thrilled with the cleanliness either. The staff were nice, as was the location, but I won't hurry back.

Happy with our overnight stay here and recommend as a nice cosy motel for a 1-2 night stay. The room we were in was a family room with a queen and two singles. The room condition was clean but dated, the shower was clean but there was evidence of mould that had been bleached away in the shower. The queen mattress was very very comfortable. Medium Soft but supportive. Had a wonderful restful sleep. The free teas and coffee were very well stocked plenty of little milks and satchets of coffee to have a few cups if needed which is wonderful. Even a few packets of bikkies instead of the standard 2 packs. Parking was not assigned, and the parking area has plenty of spots but is tightly arranged. We arrived around 8pm and were able to park one park away from our door. I spoke to a neighbour later in the evening who was trying to park a large 4wd and boat without success. Overall a nice basic stay, we would stay again and recommended others to consider a night here when passing through.

The air conditioner desperately needs servicing was very loud making banging noises which made it difficult to sleep. The water pressure in the shower was too low. The beds are the most comfortable of any motel I have stayed in.

The room didnt look anything like the picture. It was very tired. The air conditioning leaked all over the carpet. It is 2 stars, not its claimed 4 stars. Worst of all, because the motel was full for the Great Victorian Bike Ride, they have storage hot water and not one room had any hot water to speak of at any time of the day or night across the whole 2 night stay. Seemingly, the owner has known about the hot water problems for two years and has done nothing about it.

We stayed at City Reach Motel twice as a stopover to and from Ararat - Canberra. The hotel is close to Kmart, Coles and fast food options, as well as a few restaurants. The staff are really lovely and did everything in their power to accomodate my mother, who uses a wheelchair due to mobility issues. Room 1 is an accessible room with an accessible bathroom and was very comfortable. Room 2 is non accessible and also very comfortable. Both rooms have a microwave, fridge, split system. Free parking is provided and reception has lots of information on dining options. The beds were really comfortable! The only minor suggestion I have for improvement is to heat the pool water, if possible. I would have loved to swim but the water was cold. This is a great place for a stopover at a really reasonable price! Thanks guys!!!

Outdated, a relic from the 70’s. Def not 4 star, 2 star at best. Carpets hadn’t been vacuumed despite making us wait til mid afternoon to check in. There was food and grass from the previous guests still on the floor. Crumbs on the dining table. Pics showed different, more modern rooms. Booked for 4 people and they provided only two bath towels. Pool was filled with leaves, I cleaned it myself so our kids could swim in it. Pool hut was filled with cob webs and had an active wasp nest it in. Complained about our room to reception staff but they were just filling in for the manager who was on holidays. He was apparently returning on the day we departed. Was assured he would call us…. I’m still waiting. AVOID THIS MOTEL AT ALL COSTS.
