Town Centre Motor Inn

What guests think

At Town Centre Motor Inn, travellers consistently praise the central, walkable location and budget-friendly rates, while noting the motel is old-fashioned and in need of upgrades, with mixed experiences around room maintenance, noise, and cleanliness between stays.

Many guests describe the staff as friendly and helpful with straightforward check-in, though a few report unresponsive or surly service and confusion about advertised breakfast. Rooms are basic and dated; some are spacious, quiet and comfortable, but others show wear like peeling wallpaper, ageing fixtures, weak showers, and flat pillows. Overall, it suits short, no-frills stopovers.

The room was advertised as having free breakfast. When I enquired on arrival, I was told there was no breakfast. I’m not sure why breakfast was advertised on Expedia?

The best motel in town if you don't have a car, and if you do have a car, parking is all good too. Easy walk from the interstate bus stop, close to excellent inner city standard coffee shops, friendly easy-going management, even Netflix. Shopping is great in Merimbula, they do have Aldis. That matters. Better shopping than I have in the inner city. That is for everyday essentials. And of course, Merimbula has it all, if not, the area has it all if you have a car.

Room 5. The door had been kicked in and had been poorly repaired. The carpet needed replacing. The wall carpet feature dated from the 1960's. There were not two items of crockery or cutlery that matched. The toilet was blocked and one had to judge when to flush in case an upstairs until did the same, causing back wash. AND, the ceiling above the shower had dropped considerably and was hanging loose. Sadly, the (apparent) relieving staff member did not speak English. However, the breakfast cereal was fresh, as was the milk. A sad experience as we had stayed in other rooms which were quite reasonable.

We stayed for 2 nights at the motor inn in Merimbula as it was centrally located. We weren’t expecting much and in hindsight should have stayed somewhere else. The place needs to be totally renovated as it is extremely dated and anything that has been updated is only because they have to. If you like peeling wallpaper, carpet as a wall dado, cracks on the wall then this is the place for you. Whist it was clean in the room the bathroom was in need of a proper clean. The electrics in the room are a bit interesting and the only good point was the large tv!
