What guests think

Across numerous reviews, City Centre Motel Kempsey is praised for very clean, comfortable rooms and welcoming staff, plus a convenient in-town location near supermarkets and eateries, making it a reliable stopover for travellers passing through.

Guests like the pool for hot days, easy parking by the rooms, and the handy onsite Chinese restaurant. Several note the property is older or dated, with occasional maintenance gaps and limited shaded outdoor seating; a few experienced hiccups with after-hours check-in or room readiness. Best for uncomplicated, short stays on the road.

Motel was ok for a short visit. It lacks appropriat roof overhangs to provide eough shade to sit outside comfortably. Need to provide additional chairs outside and a small coffee table so people can relax outside in the mornings with a coffee or in the evening with a beverage or six.

The accomodation at City Centre Motel was fantastic. Kempsey is quite a hot place so having acces to the pool for my daughter was great and having the air conditioner on in my room upon first walking in was very welcome. Everything I needed was in walking distance from Woolworths and Big W to the main street of town. If i return I will definitely be booking there again.

Had some work to do in the region and this was an excellent motel to stay at. Close to the middle of town that has all the facilities you need for a short stay. Great and helpful staff. I needed a document to be printed which they did without fuss and while I waited. Rooms are a decent size with an extremely comfortable bed. Highly recommended.

I checked in at 10am and was told my room would not be ready till 12 noon. I accepted that and the receptionist asked me if I was i town for the race day and I replied yes. I was not able to access my room till 1pm. The race day started at 12.30pm and as I was working there I needed to be there by 12.30pm. I felt some priority could have been given to my room so I could have arrived to work on time. With the delay in getting in at the gate at the races I lost 1.5 hours pay.
