What guests think

At Garden Motor Inn, travellers report clean, renovated interiors with comfortable beds and helpful, flexible staff, set on a quiet hillside with pleasant views, making it a convenient, good-value stopover despite dated exteriors and some inconsistent amenities.

Several reviews note weak or unreliable Wi-Fi, and occasional issues like cold showers, small or finicky TVs, and air-conditioning quirks. The property sits a short drive from town; parking is easy, and many appreciate the quiet rooms and country outlook, though a few mention traffic or equipment noise. On-site dining or breakfast is often unavailable despite signage, so most guests eat in town. Overall, expect a simple, modernised roadside stay with strong value.

The property has potential but is definitely in a state of decline. I arrived just on dark and my key was left in the key box outside the office, there was absolutely zero outside lighting anywhere (obviously cost to much to run) so I used my ute headlights to see. On the booking it says there is a laundry this is not the case, all the equipment was stacked out on the lawn. The room was dirty and the quilt on the bed was soiled. Pretty ordinary, definitely would not stay again.

overall quite a nice good value place but don't bother using their WiFi (virtually non existent) I have been staying here on and off for many years and it has never been upgraded (very weak signal with mostly sub 500kbs speed at best) if I didn't have a lot of 4G data it would have been a real turn off and I would have probably gone elsewhere

Well-maintained budget motel with pleasant views of the surrounding area. Wifi signal was weak and mobile reception (Telstra in my case) wasn't too good either. The TV remote didn't work properly. We found a note about it left by a previous guest that had not been actioned. Our room appeared to have been recently refurbished and was ideal for our overnight stop en route from Sydney to Melbourne.

Economic place to stay half way on the Melbourne to Sydney trip. Clean and comfortable. I travel this route often and always look for something away from the highway to limit the traffic noise. I know from experience that the trucks go all night. This looked to fit that criteria but it's high on a hill with no buffer between the highway and the room even though it's a distance away. So you will have some traffic noise. But very happy apart from that so if you're a heavy sleeper I don't think you'll do much better in Gundagai
