10/10 it is my favourite motel so far. The lovely receptionist that greets you on check in and looks after you during your stay is a highlight. She got everything I asked for instantly, and even made our room available to us so we could stay for longer at the motel. The best part is you never got harassed during any part of the day by any other staff. You felt safe, it was quiet and for once i felt comfortable to use the pool and spa and could leave and go the shops, knowing my room was locked and safe. Even to just ask for extra towels or for toiletries, more milk...anything you needed was done, without any judgment or dirty looks from the staff that usually occur when you stay else where. It was homely and we would love to stay as long as we can here and will be definitely recommending this hidden place to everyone back in Perth. The spa bath in room 1 is amazing, first time 2 tall adults can actually fit comfortably and the aircon was always set perfect. Very Clean, No complaints at all!

Really enjoyed our stay. Right from arival we were shown to our room after staff inspected it. First two things I noticed was that the room didnt have the usual cleaning chemical smell that motel rooms often have, and the size of the room was generous for a motel in this price range. After settling in we found the room to be comfortable and quiet considering its location. We have stayed in many motels over the years and I would rate this the cleanest I have stayed in regardless of price. Parking was also excellent and the motel is located within easy walking distance of several eating options. Pool looked nice, but weather was not warm enough to try it out. Would love to stay again.

Motel was dated but clean good hot water but noisy during the night with traffic on the road outside. Hard to get a car park after 8.30 when we came back from dinner. Rooms need an update and maybe a carpet shampoo and bedside cabinets upgrading.

Rodney Motor Inn was easy to locate and a little less expensive than similar properties in Shepparton. It was in the town centre, with a hotel adjoining the property, a fuel station a few doors down, and Woolworths and Aldi across the road. Kerry made us very welcome when we first arrived, and upgraded our 2 night booking to a room with a spa. The room was fairly modern, and the crockery, cutlery , bathroom linen, bed sheets, carpet and furniture were spotlessly clean. The room contained a toaster, kettle and microwave, and the bed and sofa were both very comfortable. The wifi had good reception. Next time we visit Shepparton, we hope to find a vacant room here again.

We checked in and immediately felt unsafe - there were a few shady people hanging around the car park right outside our room. When we entered, the carpet was filthy with what looked like fresh stains, the bathroom was dirty with black mould, and the furniture was old and in desperate need of an update. The overall condition of the room was completely disgusting. We decided to leave straight away. While the hotel did give us a full refund, it left us without accommodation for the weekend during a major event when everything else was fully booked. Very disappointed. This place is poorly maintained and not at all as advertised.

Very basic as expected. Bed ok and rooms decent size. Heating in all 3 rooms didn't cope, even at highest setting, and bathrooms in particular were cold. One room only had one blanket with no spares. Two out of 3 rooms did not have milk provided for coffee or tea.

Larger than usual kitchen area with a kitchen sink and useful cupboard space and food preparation area. Ideal to reduce the cost of dining out and takeaway when travelling. A lot of trucks nearby in the mornings but the noise was not too bad.

The staff were friendly and accommodating the issue was the cleanliness and the noise from other guests. My daughter and I woke up at 1230am to a man having a conversation with someone else whom was on loudspeaker outside our bedroom door. I did call the hotel but I didn’t hear anything back from them but this was probably due to the hour which I called. If you value your sleep I’d suggest alternative accommodation.
