Basic

Stayed here before but not in winter. Heater was poor quality and hidden around corner from bed so the room stayed cold all night.

The office was closed. Checked in by phone and told where to find the key. Large crates of used bed linen left outside by stairs. Smoking (supposedly) not permitted in rooms (which smelt) but only outside on balconies? Room was tidy and clean but the motel is old and appeals to truckers and trades people. 2.5 stars

Noisy dogs staying

Upon arriving it was found that the hotel is an animal friendly hotel This was evident with the amount of dog fur on the floor and in the bathroom There were dogs staying that were barking constantly. When discussed with reception he said that the owners had been spoken to regarding their noisy dogs Evidently he didn't speak to the dogs

I know that recent floods have affected Kempsey, but the condition of the property was sub standard. The room was great, didn't see any staff. Was unable to have showers as their wasn't any hotwater. Very disappointing.

Older motel with torn curtains but comfy beds & good heating. Area around property quite average but also aware they've recently suffered the floods which has left mud & damage around. Overall fit our needs for a night's sleep while on the road.
