What guests think

At George Bass Motor Inn, reviewers consistently highlight clean, comfortable rooms and friendly, welcoming staff, with a convenient, walkable location near town and minimal highway noise, though some note basic facilities and occasional issues at check-in or with room allocation.

Several mention spacious layouts and practical in-room extras, with larger fridges in some rooms but occasional loud bar fridges in others. Noise varies between quiet stays and thinner walls or parking-area sounds, and a few reviews cite dated furnishings or peeling paint. Expect a straightforward, comfortable stopover suited to short visits.

Once I settled in, my stay was great. But I arrived to check in and the receptionist was not there, despite it being open hours. She arrived 1 hour later with no apology or recognition. So I couldn’t properly check in to my room for some time. Generally a good stay, great facilities, clean, location is great, it was just soured by the poor customer experience at check-in.

We only had an overnight stay, and it was absolutely perfect! George Bass Motor Inn was the 7th hotel or motor inn we have checked in, on our 3 weeks road trip, and it was the best! It's spacious, with all amenities provided with quality. Everything was presented with great impression, and the beds were very comfortable!!! Kitchen had most things we needed, and what a big fridge!! Sadly, we only stayed overnight. Wish, we were not just passing by needing a place to rest and sleep. But we definitely recommend George Bass Motor Inn. Should we be going back to Nowra, this is the place to be.

Easy and efficient check in. Room was a typical brick motel room - very common in regional towns. Bed was comfortable and nice and clean, TV worked fine, bathroom clean and modern. Sofa very tired and saggy, and there was a strange smell - carpet maybe? As with all motels of this design, you hear every car parking, people chatting outside etc. Very convenient location close to shopping centre, art gallery and restaurants. OK but not great. Could do with a bit more sprucing up.
