What guests think

At Bendigo Motor Inn, travellers describe an older, budget motel where friendly staff and generally clean rooms are common positives, but some guests report maintenance and cleanliness problems, variable bedding comfort and heating, and a location slightly outside central Bendigo.

Some reviews highlight helpful late check-in, on-site parking and a small pool area, while the restaurant and breakfast are currently not operating. Room condition is mixed: several describe dated but tidy spaces, yet others cite stained carpets, odours, leaking showers, misassigned bed types, and mattresses that move or feel too hard or too soft. Overall, expect a basic, budget stay with variable room quality.

Bearing in mind that this is NOT a 5 Star Hotel in ratings or price the comments are intended to be positive feedback. Positive - it was very clean and the staff were very helpful. Dishwashing liquid, Jay cloth and tea towel provided. Negative - Old towels, no bar soap, just body wash and liquid hand soap There seem to be new owners who are gradually doing the place up and it was great to see what they have done so far. Looking forward to the Restaurant to reopen and breakfast to be available.

Unfortunately our room was not what was advertised (queen bed advertised but only double bed available) and was not clean, as well as old powerboards piggy backing off each other behind the bed, and the smoke alarm had been shoved in the back of the cupboard with no batteries. However, staff were very ameanable when we checked out and requested a refund for our remaining nights.

This property was dirty, the beds were terrible. Our bed smelt like urine and was so old we couldn't comfortably lay on it without rolling into each other. This motel seriously needs an update. Not a pleasure to stay here.

The walls and carpets are rotten as the bathroom showers are leaking into the walls and into the room carpets. I talked to the staff found out they know about it and they are using silicon to stop the leaks . I have asked why you are advertising the property on expedia if you are aware of the unsafe conditions of the rooms ,they responded that is why it's cheap. I paid $132 per night and I couldn't sleep for 6 consecutive nights as it aggravated asthma and I couldn't breathe. I kept talking to the manger and the owner but unfortunately they refused to respond to my complaint in writing and even the owner refused to give me his name so sadly they don't hold responsibility towards their clients. They don't care about their clients welfare but they only care about their money . Thank you and hope no one else get sick from staying at this property. I have photos as evidence as because of the always wet carpets and walls there is also bugs

The owners were nice, and check in was easy but it’s pretty dingy and unclean. There was balls of hair in on the carpet, a dead cockroach behind the curtains and the bathroom bin had been emptied but the bag wasn’t changed so there was brown stuff on the bottom of the bag. Wouldn’t stay here again. Needs revamp. Or better cleaning

The bed slipped three quarters off base causing one person under threat of slipping out of bed all night with little sleep. Our travel companion in next room had mattress slip off and he fell on floor during night. These beds require urgent attention. Wasn’t just ours. Top slips off base. Obviously bed base not compatible with top.Caused sleepless night.

Staff was very welcoming and friendly. They had turned the heater on in my room, so it was nice and warm when I arrived. The room was very clean and comfortable. Only negatives was the vertical blinds in my room were broken, so I had to climb on a chair to close them, manually one vertical at a time. the picture on the TV was not great (very washed out, It’s on its last legs), a power board to plug the kettle and toaster in as well as charge My gadgets would’ve been very helpful as there were not a lot of power points in the room. The overall interior is dated but clean. I would definitely stay here again if I’m passing through town.

We booked a deluxe room with king bed and when we arrived we were told we would be only getting a standard room with a queen bed but relized when we went to bed it was onlg a double bed which was uncomfortable for us. So we should get a refund for the difference we received.

It was excellent. I thought I had booked a twin room but the room we were given was a double. We are 2 friends who will happily share a room but prefer seperate beds. We were readily changed to a twin room when we asked if it would be possible.

Bendigo Motor Inn is a little past its prime, but our room was clean, well provisioned and freshly painted. The bed was soft but comfortable and the air-conditioner warmed the room fairly quickly. There were plenty of towels shower gel/shampoo, liquid soap and a flannel. It's a little out of Bendigo proper, but well located for any activity in the south of the city.

The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Our visit was during a cold spell, and they provided us with an extra heater. They are currently renovating the property, and were so apologetic and went over and above to make us comfortable and feel welcome. The room was surprisingly quiet given it's located off a busy street. The water pressure in the shower felt like a massage! They offered a variety of TV channels, and options for streaming too. I loved that they provided a fridge, microwave, and water kettle as well! Overall, I gave this stay a 4 out of 5 rating, and I recommend it for the excellent customer service, the quiet, and the convenience of it's location and dining options! Thank you:)
