Aquarius Motor Inn

What guests think

Aquarius Motor Inn earns praise for its convenient location and generally friendly, accommodating staff, with guests frequently noting spacious rooms and comfortable beds, but several reviews highlight dated interiors and maintenance issues that detract from the overall experience.

Some guests reported unmanned reception and check-in via a doorbell, with a few feeling unsafe or uncomfortable. Cleanliness is generally acceptable, though there are reports of unclean bathrooms, crumbs, and occasional housekeeping lapses. Facilities are basic, with in-room kitchenettes noted but no pool available. Expect a straightforward, budget-friendly stay focused on function over polish.

Un hébergement simple mais propre. Le motel est un peu daté certes mais le rapport qualité prix est excellent. On est en périphérie de la ville juste à côté d'une grande surface et le motel a un parking gratuit. Une cuisine permettant de cuisiner et de prendre le petit déjeuner. Un excellent rapport qualité prix

If you are looking for a bed for the night then this would be ok. Kitchen bench top looks like covered in Duracell, with it even peeling off, shower wasn’t clean and leaked all over the floor. Was advertised with a pool and sky tv which they don’t have. Towels were not cleaned in morning as they said and needed a phonecall to get sorted.

Upon arrival reception door locked. Slightly unnerving at 2pm to have this door locked. Upon check in they could not locate my reservation booked through wotif. Eventually found it after 10mins through an expedia booking. Dont know how that works. Staff were friendly and walked us to room. Rooms are dated. No security lock on door and a normal push button lock on inside which was a bit loose. Large stickers of tractor and animals on doors, flooring in bathroom worn out and door wouldnt close without using the seperate turning lock. The down lights above bed had been ‘painted in’ reported to office and informed some women like to paint them with nail polish for mood lighting. Slight odd. Location was great, staff were really polite and helpful but obviously a bit of work to do on the property itself.

Værelserne ser ikke ud meget men de er til gengæld store så man har meget plads. Og sengene var overraskende gode. Anbefaling herfra hvis man er på udkig efter god plads og en god nats søvn til en overnatning!
