    Traffic noise from nearby busy roads. Complex is very old although well maintained. Surrounded on three sides by bush but difficult to walk to any restaurants etc because it is situated on a major road.

    Very clean. Comfortable bed. Hot shower. Clean towels and face washer. Beautifully maintained gardens with several shaded outside sitting areas. Nice pool. Just off the hwy so convenient for an overnight stay.

    Room was small but the interior arrangement well thought out to make maximum use of the space. It was clean and the bed comfortable. Great value for money and pleasant helpful staff.

    Quiet location but still handy enough to town centre. Decent sized room, clean and bed was comfortable. Undercover parking next to room, staff friendly. Suitable for our one night stay. Well equipped kitchen available for use by guests.

    This motel is a standout winner for accommodations of this kind and age of the buildings. Apart from new bathrooms at some stage - an expensive renovation - I can't identify any further improvements

    Major Innes motel must surely take the top prize for the best presented motel in Australia. The gardens were receiving loving care as we arrived - thoughtfully designed, manicured lawns, trim hedges all round, a variety of plants and flowers attractively presented. This care translated into Unit 4 where, despite the age of the building, the floors were shining and comfortable, the bed linen excellent quality, the bed comfortable. Tea, coffee etc was available in the room with the most useful and convenient addition of a separate guest kitchen, fully equipped. The bathroom was small and very dated but far cleaner than many other more modern ones in other motels. Hot water was plentiful. Great value, especially when compared with similar but badly presented motels we have stayed in. Parking was undercover beside the unit. The pool was maintained in sparkling condition, even in cold weather. Location was not far - about 3km - off the Pacific Highway. This will become my preferred overnight stop for future trips.

    The property owner was very nice accommodating. They were willing to change the date of our stay without penalties. The property was nicely located outside the township with a quiet n cosy surroundings - ideal for a nice relaxing stay.

    It was dated but as value for money excellent. Don't be put off by first appearance.

    The rooms were spacious extremely clean, good quality linen. Excellent guest kitchen and lovely manicured garden area with several seating areas. TV was up to date and excellent reception.

    Value for money. If you want to rest for the night it's the perfect place. Comfy bed, it had everything I needed. Quiet enough to sleep once the traffic subsided.

    Could have done with a hairdryer in the room. Also a bit tricky to fill the kettle when the tap isn't high enough, but we managed using clean mugs. A concern not to see any fire evacuation maps on the walls...?

    Comfortable room and beds with the basics - all the essentials. Liked having the cooking facilities of the communal kitchen, great idea for a motel. The daily room service was a nice surprise! (And 2 face washers for 2 people - what a novelty!) Carport was also great for protection - this wasn't listed on the website, but could be advertised because it is an asset.

    Bed not the best but a long way from the worst I've had. Like I said I will be back.

    The motel is old but exceptionally clean and well maintained. Had everything I needed. The gardens beautifully kept. Carport next to room. Very comfortable pillows. Best I've had in a motel. I will be returning. Minimal noise even though just off highway.
