Admella Motel

What guests think

At Admella Motel, reviewers consistently highlight a convenient, quiet location near the foreshore and shops, generally clean budget rooms offering good value, and mixed service ranging from friendly, accommodating hosts to inconsistent reception and occasional payment or communication issues.

Room quality varies: some find modern, spacious and comfortable spaces, while others note dated decor, firm beds, intrusive noise, and very weak shower pressure in certain rooms. There is little detail about facilities; isolated comments mention close yet sometimes tight parking, and one guest reported laundry information did not match advertising. Overall, expect a simple budget stay suited to short visits.

Comfortable clean room. Not much room to park. Very bland service. Made me pay more as the room they say wasn’t advertised at correct price on Expedia. Should have just been there loss

We found the location very quiet. The hotel is in a small cul-de-sac off the main road. The reception staff member was friendly. The room was clean and offered the usual amenities you would expect. Mattress was a little firm but that is a personal preference. Overall a good place to rest on a journey to Portland.

It was just a basic motel room. The room was dark, there was an extra bed in it which made things crowded. It seemed clean but all the furniture was rather beat up.

Booked the stay with book now pay on arrival option and when i arrived at motel and paid for room i discovered email from motel saying prob with payment method. I go to front office and ask what the issue was as money has come out of my account already. What manager told me was they tried twice to take payment at like 8am, 4hrs earlier than my arrival time which i wasnt happy about. Mamager hardly spoke English and didnt even say to us hope your stay with us is good, nothing just wanted the money. Pretty poor service wouldnt recommend staying here.
