What guests think

At Village Family Motor Inn, travellers describe a budget-friendly, convenient base with some nice views, but many reviews report very dated, poorly maintained rooms, frequent cleanliness problems, and noise, alongside mixed experiences with staff availability and responsiveness.

Facilities are hit and miss, with the pool, spa or sauna sometimes closed or unclean, and the restaurant, bar and room service frequently unavailable despite being advertised. Rooms vary from spacious to basic, with many noting uncomfortable beds, limited or no air conditioning, temperamental plumbing, and unreliable Wi-Fi. The location suits airport access and driving around Launceston, though the steep, blind-corner driveway is a common concern. Expect a simple, low-cost stay if you prioritise price and location over polish and amenities.

Looks like renovations are currently taking place. There’s a bit of a mess. The pool and spa didn’t look clean. There was no one at the property for our 2pm check in. None of this was advised during the booking process. The beds were comfortable though.

Great property and staff. Should try to improve on the cleanliness part a bit. The rooms also dont have sufficient blankets , very basic stuff for cold nights. Beds were not most comfy. To be fair, we didnt ask for any more. We did get the hair dryer replaced instantly and the service was friendly. Overall, great place with sauna and heated pool. Good on a budget

It's great for a short stay, and still has a pool and spa. The bed was super comfortable, but the curtains didn't close and the night balcony light made the room too bright. Pity the bar is permanently closed now.

This is a lovely hotel with indoor swimming pool, games room, barbeque area and children playground. The room furnishings are comfortable but need an upgrade and regular maintenance. The housekeeping staff need to stock the rooms based on the number of people booked, we had to request for cups/cutlery.

When we first checked in I was shocked at the cleanliness of the room. It seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time. I was travelling with a toddler and I wouldn’t let them in the bathroom because it was so bad. I also thought I booked for two bedrooms as advertised but it was only a one room set up. I spoke to the staff member at front desk and he was really lovely and apologetic and put us into a new room which was a little cleaner but more importantly bigger. The pol was okay but the games arcade wasn’t what I was hoping. The only turndown service provided was fresh towels. Dirty dishes weren’t taken and beds weren’t made. I would have been happy to wash my own dishes but there wasn’t any detergent provided so I had to buy it. Overall I won’t be returning to the property but at least the staff member I dealt with was lovely.

We stayed for 3 days and our room wasn’t cleaned once! The pillow cases were a dubious grey/white. I’d like to think they had been changed after the last guests left but I’m not totally sure. The floors needed sweeping each day, I was staying with a 6 yr old who brought most of the sandpit home in their boots each day, but there was no broom or vacuum cleaner in the room. The floors needed a good mop, you could tell they’d never been mopped by the state of your socks after walking around for 3-4 minutes. Also 2 face washers would’ve been handy so as guests don’t have to share 1 between everyone in the room.

The sliding door did not shut and let in a cockroach. The fridge door handle was broken and it was very iced up. The water doesn’t drain away very quickly in the shower. We only had tiny cups to make a cup of tea or coffee. The light above the single bed did not work. The pillows were shocking and needed 2 or a towel under in order to sleep. (Room 41)

The bed was quite comfortable and the room set up well. I would have liked a knife and fork to be provided as I was eating in my room. The shower was dreadful and the drain severely blocked. This needs looking into urgently. My biggest complaint was the terrible noise with loud voices and banging around coming from the room next to me on one side. On the other side someone was watching the television into the early hours of the morning which was quite disturbing. I would suggest better soundproofing. Would not stay here again sorry.

Property was very old and not upgraded for some time. The room was smelly, and both my wife and I had allergies from this. We originally intended to stay 3 nights, but we checked out after 1 and went elsewhere. When I mentioned this, there was no offer of a better room or a refund. We had stayed here some years ago when our children were younger and had a wonderful stay. We therefore thought for nostalgia we would stay again. Big mistake!!

We have to change the room 3 times to get it right. First they gave us a room with TV is not working. Then they changed us to another which is worse than the first room. The washing basin tape and toilet flash are leaking. Making so much noise that we could not sleep. There are a lot of pot holes when you drive in the property. There is no light on the signage make it difficult to drive when you return to the property at night. There are a lot of customers complaining about the defect in the room and are not happy with it. According, the owner of the motel refuse to spend money to fix all the room defect. Overall rating is 2/10. We will never ever want to return to this property

Our room had a new toilet, new taps and heat pump. The location was very handy to accessing the motorway for the Supercars which is why we were there.

This has to be the worst experience I have ever had with the Hotels platform. We booked a 2 bed family unit for 2 nights but left after 1 appalling night. The restaurant was closed and we were told to go up the road to the local pub. There were only 2 cups provided. When I rang the contact no. I didn't get a response for over an hour then I was informed "someone probably stole the others". The staff do not check apparently. There was no heating in the bedrooms and the windows were not able to be closed so we had both wind and traffic noise all night. There were no extra blankets provided and the pillows were so old they were practically flat again with no spare pillows provided. The condition of the unit was appalling. The filthiest accomodation I have ever stayed in. Cleaning appears non existent. While not expecting any more than a 3 star unit we did expect more than was provided. The Hotels platform should be removing this unit as it does not meet even the basic standards.

Not the best experience. A room was booked with specifically two separate beds, as I was with my teenage son. Despite this, when we arrived, we found the room allocated only had a double bed. Too late an arrival to do anything about it as the office was closed, and we had an early start in the morning. Another let down in the morning, when we found that despite the online advertising saying that breakfast was included, there was no sign of this either. Very annoying, as I would have brought some breakfast with us if we'd known this. So a search for some breakfast in an unfamiliar town, before 8am, which wasn't an easy task. So all in all, not so good
