Byer Fountain Motor Inn

What guests think

Byer Fountain Motor Inn is a budget-friendly stopover praised for clean rooms, quiet convenience near the Hume Highway, and friendly, well-organised check-in, though the older property feels dated and some rooms are small, airless, or have inconsistent comfort.

Facilities are basic; in-room appliances are handy, parking is easy, and water pressure is strong, but Wi-Fi and TVs are inconsistent, and the pool area and some maintenance items need attention. Dining receives praise for hot, timely room-service meals, yet the dine-in restaurant is often closed and breakfast can be limited or unavailable. Suited to road-trippers who value price and practicality over amenities.

Very run down. No one on site. Check in was a text message to say there was a key in room. Pool coping broken and unsafe for kids. Spa all broken. Showers like public toilet with same hand wash dispenser you’d find in one. Rooms needed an update about 25 years ago. Wouldn’t recommend at all. Cleaner was friendly and did job well in tough conditions.

You get what you pay for. $120 for a double room is a fair price, but, if you advertise WIFI at least ensure it works! Very limited tv channels with 4 foxtel channels. Room smelt musty and carpet was stained badly. Bed was about the only redeeming feature. Having the cleaning staff knocking on the door at 8am wasn't needed when checkout was 10 am. It's ok if you really can't get anywhere else cheaply. Whole place is old and needs to be updated.

I did like my stay, however, The lock on the pool fence didn’t work at all. The furniture inside the pool fence needs removing and replacing and the pool was ok, but the area inside the pool fence was dirty. The rooms and parking was fine. I would stay again if I knew the pool area was in better condition.

This was a terrible stay and very disappointing. I booked for 4 adults, but the room was not a family room at all. There was no space to move around, and the room felt cramped and uncomfortable from the moment we arrived. The beds were uncomfortable, and the trundle bed kept moving, making it very hard to sleep. The bathroom was extremely small, with barely any room to move. The shower was dirty, and the soap holder looked like it was about to fall off the wall, which was concerning. The air-conditioning did not work, and the window could not be opened, making the room hot and uncomfortable. We were booked for 5 nights but left early because we simply could not handle staying another night. Unfortunately, there was nowhere else available to move to at the time. Overall, the room was uncomfortable, poorly maintained, and not suitable for the number of guests booked. I would not stay here again or recommend it.

Place is old. Bed was good. Light switch only at the door. Bed lamps unusable. Coffee sachet appropriately branded “Earth”, which is exactly what it tasted like! Small fridge on the floor. Stayed there because it advertised a dining room. But it was room service only. Had dinner at the nearby pub. VERY good.

We understood that COVID had taken it's toll on the industry and Township Businesses. But this facility had a Restaurant that remained closed but provided 'Room Service' where we missed the 'Restaurant Experience'. Yet other Local Motels had managed to keep their Restaurants open thereby providing a 'more convenient' stay. Otherwise I could recommend this Motel for a 'Convenient Break' in any road trip from Melbourne or Victoria heading North.
