Good value for Twin Queen beds. Definitely old & cheap looking, but had everything you need. (Plates, cutlery, microwave, kettle, toaster). Good shower, comfy beds. Offstreet parking. 900m from town. Only complaint would be old noisy AC unit.

Our room was absolutely disgusting. Dirty, grimy, mouldy and uncomfortable. I had to clean the bathroom myself so I could actually have a shower & to know that it was actually clean! Hair in the shower, basin & toilet. Mould throughout the bathroom & room itself, carpets haven’t been cleaned in years, feel damp & spongy & just plain disgusting. The bed side tables were filth, had coffee stains, along with other stains, dust & dead bugs. The bed head had inches of dust and god knows what else. The air conditioner filters haven’t been changed, most likely, ever! The pictures on the internet / WotIf are deceiving, not what they’re made out to be at all! And the service at the front desk was dismal, I had to call for assistance to just check-in as the desk was unmanned. Same with lodging my complaints about my room, very slack and unwelcoming service. Ended up getting some money back, which was a task in itself. Worst location I’ve ever encountered.

The Pioneer Station Motor inn's best days are probably behind it and at some point will be due for a makeover. But in the meantime, you get a very comfortable and very clean place to stay for a fair and reasonable price. Fantastic friendly service. Definitely would recommend this place.

Terrible Customer Service. One of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had. I paid $500 for 4 nights here and was treated terribly. The owner shouted at me as there was clothes on the single bed I wasn’t using, he knew this as he came in my room every day without permission to check on me. I had put all rubbish in bin and was nothing but polite and friendly with him. I just couldn’t believe how badly I was spoken to. My work colleague stayed in the swan hill resort next door which was much nicer and they were much more friendly there.

After a quick check in we were a bit concerned about the outside look but once inside found it to be ok, 2 queen beds which were very comfortable and clean, we only used one. The bathroom was a bit tired but adequate with decent toilet paper ( so many motels use the cheap and thin rolls) which was a plus. Very good value and reasonably central. Would recommend for a short stay
