What guests think

At Advance Motel, reviewers highlight good value for money with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff, a quiet setting a little out of town yet walkable to the river and centre, plus strong showers and a praised pool.

It is pet friendly, though several guests disliked the $30 per dog nightly fee or felt the charge was not clearly communicated. Rooms are often spacious but some decor feels dated and a few layouts are impractical, with comments about high desks, missing furniture in an accessible room, hard mattresses, and occasional noise from other guests or dogs; one reviewer also noted confusing directions. Expect a straightforward, no-frills stay.

Ok hotel. But disappointed they wait till you book and pay to say you have to pay $30 per dog per night. When you have to small dogs this is a rip off

We chose Advance for its pet friendly option. Staff were incredibly helpful and our greyhound had two very good nights sleep in with us. We need more hotels to be like this. ❤️

The person in reception was unhelpful. The car park allocated for the room was taken. The fridge was switched off and stunk. The little bikkies to have with a cuppa were jatz - not sweet biscuits. Just not a great experience.

This motel was excellent value - clean and comfortable, safe and unexpectedly quiet. Interiors are better than the dated exterior would suggest Smart TV and good aircon. Good parking. Walkable to a beautiful river park and the town centre.

Good value, but rooms not set up for business or leisure. Most business or tradie travellers will want to do some work on a computer. Desk/Bench height way too high for this. Might be just me but I hate sitting on bed to watch TV a comfortable chair would be appreciated. Placement of small lounge was useless (and too big to move)

Unit was tired, plates were dirty in cupboard. No fly wire on our unit window but on most other units. (Mosquitos bad) When asked reception got told no fly wire, too bad! No effort to rectify issue. Friend travelling with us was given wrong bed setup, (that they had booked twin and paid for) and was told by reception to get a pull out was significant additional cost, even though motels error. Not happy!

It is literally a highway motel. You get what you pay for, and it's located right next to the highway, making it quite accessible. The address was misleading though. We had to use the GPS location shown on Expedia to locate the place. So, in case you're being send into a mud road next to a gun range, you're probably heading in the wrong direction.
