Old fashioned, cheap, clean with basic amenities. Loved the pool, having breakfast provided was very convenient. Overall, a good stay for those that don't need anything too fancy.

A couple of nights here. It includes a continental breakfast in a dining room - fruit, yoghurt, cereal, coffee, tea, juice, toast. Nicely laid out and clean. Room was large with a couch, fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster. No service except for the rubbish being removed. Advised of a plumbing issue - not huge - and the plumber arrived that day! Nice pool area with a BBQ.

The property was quit nice and the breakfast was absolutely the best that catered for everyone. There were children in the pool enjoying themselves, so I would say it was in good condition. Room was lovely and could open the door from the veranda for a nice cross breeze. They had a laundry people could use. Only thing wrong was a empty pot plant that was being used as a ashtray on the veranda, but that may not have been the motel’s fault

Stayed at Sandors Motor Inn and had mixed feelings. The room had a strong smell, like someone had been cooking in it, and the neighbour was noisy late at night. I was also woken around 1am by very loud bangs — almost like gunshots — and the girl next door screaming “help me, help me,” which was honestly quite frightening. On the positive side, the service from staff was great and they were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the noise and late-night incident really impacted the stay.

We booked for 2 adults and 1 child. When we arrived we had 1 queen bed for 3 people to sleep in. Reception told us they had no more pull out beds, even though I booked 5 months in advance. We had to go buy a blow up mattress so that one of us didn’t have to sleep on the floor. I paid extra for 3 people and got the service for only 2. NO REFUND GIVEN…. We only had 2 towels in our room, had to ask for an extra towel. Our room was only cleaned once in 5 days, disgusting! The day it was cleaned, didn’t look like they vacuumed or mopped the floors. Cob webs were all under the bench tops. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

The room was well set out, with lots of little extras. A downstairs room would probably been quieter, not getting the big truck noise in the early morning. SMART TV was also a good addition.

The room we booked was not deluxe. Room 18 requires the flooring to be replaced, the curtains to be rehung. We were not happy with the room and asked to be moved which staff did. But with no sitting space in this room it was not suitable for a 2 night stay. So we left. We had booked this room on Expedia about 15 minutes before we arrived, so this ended up costing one nights accommodation, we got the second night refunded. My advice is don’t book this hotel. There are many good motels along Deakin Street. We ended up at Comfort Inns Deakin Palms. After inspecting room was very happy and looked after us rate wise as receptionist knew we’d already paid for a night at Sandors.

It's a good location to be, central in Mildura, everything is close by, rooms are spacious but okayish, we stayed 3 nights, 127.27 per night, they said room service but they only changed bins, didn't do a proper room service or this should be specified, also they had breakfast in the room price, happy to pay a bit extra but it didn't specify that it's not hot breakfast, just usual toast, butter, cereals so not very satisfied!! So overall, a-okay and basic stay, may be charging a bit more than the actual real service they provide, if going back to Mildura, I'll look for some other place surely not here again!

This was a good place to stay, clean, close to the city, well presented. However our stay was made very difficult by the swarms of kids running up and down the stairs, past our room, yelling and carrying on until midnight. Their parents were standing outside the rooms, smoking, yelling from room to room. It appeared to be quite a large group, maybe workers from the local farms etc. I asked several times if they could keep it down but to no avail. The phone number for the motel was not monitored or answered when i tried to call for assistance. Nice place to stay but the other guests were a nightmare.

We stayed for 2 nights. The managers were truly wonderful and caring people and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Driving into the property was like a beautiful resort in Bali. They have lovely clean and comfortable rooms. The shower was excellent. They directed us to family friendly amenities around town including good places to eat and on our second night gave us a BBQ pack to use at their BBQ facilities. There was a cubby house and play equipment for the children and being gated meant the children were safe from the road. Finally they include a full continental breakfast in their restaurant area which was absolutely perfect. We will stay here again and again. Thank you so much for having us, we felt like part of your family for a few days.
