Central Coast Motel

Our overnight booking for Saturday 30 September was made and confirmed by email on the 17th July. There was no further communication until I received a text msg on 27th September advising which Unit we were in. On arrival we were told the motel was fully booked (a long weekend) and they could not help. One of our worst and most stressful accommodation nightmares!! And we've been charged $150 for accommodation we did not receive. Our requests for a refund have had no response.

Very dated and unclean. The room smelled like sewage from the bathroom and it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned properly since the previous guest. Even for a cheap overnight stopover it was too expensive. The premises was close to amenities in town but the area had a bad and dodgy vibe to it. The only thing it had going for it was a comfortable bed which seemed to have a fairly new mattress. Staff seemed to not have a care about the place. All windows and locks had signs of previous break ins.

A one night stay in Wyong, travelling home south from Brisbane. We booked a pet friendly room, however upon arrival were told the pet friendly room had a leak so we were given a 'normal' room. The owner was helpful and friendly. This is an old style motel, situated very close to Wyong shops and Tuggerah Westfield. The actual location of the motel though is a bit dismal. The room was adequate, clean enough with clean bedding, but the bed was uncomfortable and made up with what felt like polyester sheets. The room has a small bar fridge and a microwave, with enough crockery and cutlery and tea/coffee making supplies. Thankfully the bathroom was clean. We've been staying in a lot of these old style motels lately and have noticed many are still un-renovated and in dire need of some TLC. Thankfully there are a few around that have pet friendly rooms, but not many, and the available pet friendly rooms are usually a good distance away from the 'normal' rooms. Our little dog is well behaved, unlike the family who arrived to the room next door around 11.00pm and kept us awake with their yelling, and noisily running and jumping about their room. The walls are thin. The outside lights were very bright and stayed on all night. Every time I woke up I thought it was morning already, however it was the outside lights still shining bright through the gaps in the curtains. We were very bleary eyed in the morning, but not a peep was heard from the noisy disruptive family next door, they were no doubt all asleep! Grrrr!

Stopped at this little motel overnight on our trip north. Stayed in a dog friendly room ven though not travelling with our dog. Although it seems to be an older motel our room was spotlessly clean and well thought out. Comfortable bed and modern aircon.No resturant or breakfast but microwave and plates and cutlery provided. IGA short drive (2 mins) and other eating options not far away.. small pool and grassed area with bbq and tables.Front staff very friendly and helpful. If coming thiis way will definitely stay again.
