Facilities

Off-street parking is generally plentiful and safe. The outdoor pool is popular in warm weather but was occasionally dirty; smoking areas near room doors caused smoke drift for some, and there is no operating on-site restaurant or breakfast despite older signage.

In Room 20, the air conditioning unit buzzed loudly whenever it was operating, and the bathroom fan sounded as though it was contacting its housing whenever I turned it on or off. I booked accommodation relying on your web site's assertion that the property provided a restaurant. That assertion has since vanished. On checking in, I was informed that the restaurant had ceased operating "after COVID" - and, in fairness, the receptionist told me she had not been at the property at that time, so could not give an exact date. This is perilously close to a breach of the Australian Consumer Law s 18, dealing with deceptive and misleading conduct, by advertising a service that is known not to be available. Please advise how Expedia intends to remedy the annoyance and inconvenience caused by its failure to provide current and current information.

We used the hotel as a stopover for one night. The room was huge and spacious. The receptionist was excellent and the cleaners lovely to talk to. The room was dated but totally functional and perfect for our needs. The pool was a tiny bit dirty and heavy on chlorine but the kids enjoyed it. Great meal down the road at the Victoria pub

Property was clean and tidy, staff friendly. Ash trays outside doors encourages people to congregate and smoke out the front of their door, which is adjacent to other doors. Not great when having to go in and out as the smell wafts in. I'm certain this would also be a breach of law regarding required exclusion zone from doors. I feel they require a dedicated smoking area, away from rooms. Cleaning staff only left us 1 x towel between 2 x adults which is less than ideal. Other than that, great place, location and very tidy.

Quiet location in Wagga. It was peaceful apart from the very noisy neighbours - not the hotel's fault! Bathroom fan was so loud it scared my kids. Crockery all needed a full clean before being able to use, so dirty. Large family room with more room than we expected and very comfy beds.

My stay started with being given the key to a room I did not book... When I questioned this I was told it was an upgrade; it was not. The room was not clean, lots of dirt in the entry tiles, dust all over 1 surface and an empty chocolate wrapper in the bedside table. Trying to sleep at night was a challenge. The curtains did not block the light that was directly outside the window so it was like I was sleeping with the light on. The airconditioner would make a large tapping sound every so often; loud enough to wake you up. If you have a choice do not stay at this hotel. There are plenty more around that are better for this price.

The bed was great, soft and comfortable, but the TV sound from neighbouring room made it hard to get to sleep as was the talk outside at 11:30pm waking you up wasn't appreciated. The 2:00am wakeup too from someone trundling their suitcase along the walkway in front of the rooms and running into the ashtrays also wasn't appreciated. I didn't notice a number to call to report the unnecessary chatter or the TV noise.

Check-in was smooth and quick. Our room was lovely. Bed very comfortable. Newly renovated bathroom was great. Nice hot water and great shower head. Only suggestion I would like to make is that a mirror in the bedroom area would be great. I am blind without my glasses and the bathroom mirror was too far away for me to put my make up on. Other than that, very happy with this motel. Easy walk to restaurants, cafes and shops. Plenty of night time lighting.

A pleasant location near the city centre, and close to a lovely park. Relatively quiet, and even though it seemed to be fully booked, there was still plenty of parking. Room was very clean, and warm - even without the heating on, and relatively quiet. The only issue was having a smoking area just near the top of the stairs, close to the room entrances. Cigarette smoke drifts and stinks. It would be better to have it downstairs, away from the rooms.
