Very good

We had a great time here. The only issue was that the beds were not as comfortable as we would have liked. Being five adults in a room, though, we could not have asked for a better place to stay while in Busselton on a budget.
Cleanliness in the room was questionable. Toilet was dirty, shower likewise and the shower base and floor in the bathroom was extremely slippery when wet - we had to put towels down to avoid slipping over. There was mould in the shower and the grout looked like it had never been cleaned. Curtains in the main room were hanging from the rail with hooks missing - we therefore had no privacy at night if the lights were on. Blind on the front window was torn and hanging loosely. Far too much furniture in the room making it difficult for two people to relax in comfort - bunk bed, bed/divan (with back that didn't come vertical so useless as a couch) and a queen size bed. All white towels were a greyish colour - clean but looking very old and used. I would not recommend this location to friends.

Location is walkable within town. Not much service by staff.
Clean and easy to find, parking was a little difficult when busy but would stay again. Staff were lovely.

Located quite close to the jetty which was great. Price was very affordable however the bathroom floor wasnt clean, the air-conditioner was very old, loud and smelled terrible when we used it. The bed wasnt made properly (they tried to put the fitted sheet on sideways so it came up in the middle of the night) the bedding also has a musty not dried property smell.
The outside drive way and carpark floor was dangerous. Very uneven making walking from the limited car parking bays scary. And when it was dark, i had to stay in my car with the lights on so me wife could see where she was walking to get to our room.
The shower head needed descaling and water pressure was shocking. We struggled to have showers.
The Ithaca Motel is an older style motel with character. The rooms are compact but not uncomfortable. They are modern and have all that you would need. The location is close enough to town to be able to walk. The price is excellent for the quality of the room. The mother and daughter who looked after us are friendly and efficient. The daughter even went to the trouble of picking roses from the garden for me to give to my friend for her birthday.
Location was good room wasn't ready at 3.40pm within my suggested time of arrival very untidy grounds extremely over priced towels very old and are very discoloured would recommend staying somewhere else
