Arthur's Court Motor Lodge

As soon as we entered the room there was a strong smell of urine we asked to be changed rooms but they were full. We ended up leaving in the night to stay else where as the smell strong was so bad and over powering my kids couldn’t sleep. I went back the next day and asked for a refund for both nights. ($500) after a week I was refunded only $300. But left it as wanted to forget the awful experience. Also chairs were taped up, a kitchen cupboard was broken. Would not recommend

Recommend clean comfortable and spacious rooms. All rooms appear to be on the flat so easy parking and security. Staff were easy to deal with as we arrived late at night. Would stay again as it is close by to shops etc and easy to find. Reasonable rates

This motel describes itself as 5 star luxury. In reality, it’s a social housing refuge for homeless families. Unfortunately, what this means for members of the public who pay to stay here is that you’re subjected to constant noise from what seems like dozens of unsupervised children. These children were outside screaming, shouting and being a noxious until the wee hours of the morning. Several dodgy acting characters around the rooms and car park. Loitering, shady looks, exchanges late at night. The experience couldn’t have been less luxury. Horrid.

We were disappointed that having previously stayed here and rated it very high that it has now become short term rentals for social housing. We understand motels needed to survive through covid but maybe people should be informed that the majority of their clients are semi permanent as the vibe of the place has definitely changed. We were woken at 2am by people catching up with each other outside their units talking and laughing with no regard to others staying in the motel. The unit we stayed in was great with a spa and the bed was comfortable but the whole experience/vibe of the place is not one we will be repeating. We should not have had to close our curtains to get privacy in the afternoon due to numerous kids riding past our door and car on their scooters.
