Flag Motor Lodge

A disappointing stay overall. The $30 early check-in fee (for any arrival before 2pm) is very strictly enforced, even when rooms are clearly ready hours earlier. I’ve not experienced this level of rigidity at other hotels, and after a 36-hour journey it felt lacking in compassion. The airport pickup was also frustrating — I waited around 50 minutes as the shuttle only runs on the hour, which wasn’t made particularly clear in advance. Unfortunately, the room itself was extremely noisy. I could hear the neighbouring guest snoring, showering, and opening/closing doors, along with frequent noise from outside — car beeps, doors slamming — from as early as 3am. As a result, I got very little sleep. The hotel is also located right next to a busy main road, which adds to the noise. On a positive note, there is a delicious Thai restaurant opposite, and both the Welsh lady at check-in and the shuttle driver were genuinely lovely and welcoming. However, due to the overall experience, I cancelled my repeat booking for later this year.

Staff were friendly and room was clean. However the room was very small, in fact so small that the double bed was pushed up against a wall, making it really unsuitable for two people. The bed was also clearly a very low cost mattress and not very comfortable. As a hotel near the airport I suppose it would be expected that people would be leaving in the middle of the night, but the lack of any sound proofing ment this made it very difficult to sleep.

Room was clean but staff was not welcoming bit rude night staff was terrible but morning staff was good

Upon arrival @ Flag Motel on Great Eastern Highway for our Birthday weekend celebrations, mine was Thurs, 19th & my Partner,Joe's is today,Sunday 22nd & we were sincerely impressed in seeing that The Flag is in our opinion,with respect a relatively older building, but with that in mind the gardens were in a lovely condition & well maintained (especially we were impressed with the surrounding trees & the carvings in trees of animals) Well done! The Pool area was immaculate & we enjoyed relaxing by the Pool for the afternoon! So the next day we were out most of the day, but returned in evening & enjoyed quiet time! Upon awakening on Sunday morning, ready for our usual cup of tea & coffee, Joe noticed ANTS on the kettle, he wiped them off, then making the cuppas ANTS were in our cuppas, so we weren't going to drink them, Hubby decided he would rinse them out & showed me how many were actually in the kettle, he was a good 10 mins cleaning that kettle out or rather rinsing it & finally seemed satisfied that we can try again for our cuppas! He also noticed them in the kitchen, also bathroom, not as many but they were there! Overall we were really satisfied with the room & everything, bar the ANTS!! Thanku & we would love to come back sometime, as long as the ANTS are gone!! Cheers to All! Barb & Joe Rm:16
