Reviews for Deer Park Motor Inn

Review 1:Lovely and quiet, good facilities. The restaurant looked nice but was not open so it was a trip to town after a long trip. Apart from that no complaints.

Review 2:Quiet location and friendly staff. I really appreciated the graduation congratulation note tucked into the room door as I'd traveled alone to Armidale to attend my Uni graduation. It was a really nice touch.

Review 3:The shower was over a bath which was a bit awkward as we are not as nimble as we used to be.

Review 4:The unit was very clean, well appointed and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and made us feel at home.

Review 5:The bed was terrible for us, it was really soft with no support, neither of us slept well on it. Some parts of the room were very outdated ie curtains, wouldn't take much to spruse the room up a little. I couldn't get the free wifi to work, no info in the room about it and when I called the 9 number to check on it there was no answer (mind you 9pm at night).

Review 6:Beds were made every day, plenty of tea/coffee, everything was very clean, everyone was friendly. The shower was fantastic, powerful, plenty hot water. Sad I didn't have time to check out the pool, but I was delighted we had the option.

Review 7:The wifi had a weak connection, but not that bad in the scheme of things! (Considering that it was also free)

Review 8:Everything was great, the room was tidy and clean, with all the facilities you could need. The room was comfortable and welcoming, and the upgraded spabath room was definitely worth the extra cost! The room is also good value for money, with a short drive to the town and uni.

Review 9:Sauna seemed not to warm up, and lacked an internal light.

Review 10:Very friendly staff and super comfy rooms. A/c did a wonderful job of warming the generously sized room.

Review 11:Nothing to add

Review 12:1. Service-staff very welcoming! 2. Facility-very clean & tidy.. 3. When entering room you're hit with a beautiful garden like aroma smell that is delightful

Review 13:I tried calling for assistance with other family that were keeping us up until 1:30am no answer at 9:15pm on the pone so I emailed and no response we got up at5am and left and only emailed me about free brekky later in the morning

Review 14:The bed was average. The electric blanket did not work in our room and the reverse air conditioning did not work in the second room

Review 15:Feeding the deer was great. The owner a perfect gentleman

Review 16:How would you feel if you ran out of toilet paper on the roll and there was no replacement. Fortunately we had our own spare. Inexcusable in our view

Review 17:well laid out .quiet location

Review 18:Between 6 rooms (booked) of my family members, none were told on check in that free breakfast was served in the dining room of the restaurant. We stayed for several days and assumed stock would just be replenished in our rooms (as there was stock upon check in in our rooms.) We were only told on check out when we provided feedback that one of the rooms had no breakfast supplied. I also asked about breakfast upon check in and was served by a young girl who did not inform me.

Review 19:Location, comfortable bed

Review 20:The queen bed was a bit too soft for my husband and I but I'm being picky as I get a sore lower back from time to time - your pricing, friendly service and your herd of deers still meant we left very happy. Thank you!

Review 21:Loved the friendly staff (thanks for taking our girls to feed the herd of deers on the back of your property each morning - they are still talking about it!), simple but clean and quiet rooms with good size TV, great location with beautiful scenic walks to be had as soon as you step outside the motel.

Review 22:Unclean, with stains on carpets, damage to the walls and there was used toilet paper still in the toilet! Only one outside table and chair setting placed between mine and the neighbouring room and there was no ash tray or bins outside. There was no milk for my morning coffee!!!

Review 23:Not much. They left key out for me as I was coming in late from a field trip for Uni.

Review 24:Bed was very uncomfortable, very little support, pillows very soft. Unit needed refurbishing however still clean and large size.

Review 25:The view, location, quietness, size of unit, and deer feeding. Friendly staff.

Review 26:The owner is really very welcoming though we only had a short quick stay over. Will definitely recommend to friend and will go back if re-visit the area. It's great value for money if you are after a motel.

Review 27:It would have been a real nice stay here until the morning thats when I found out that I had crabs from sleeping in the bed. Was not very happy. The beds need to be cleaned a little more.

Review 28:The service was very good

Review 29:Nestled among a few other motor inns and hotels, Deer Park Inn is on the northern end of Armidale, not far after the round about as you enter the town from Glen Innes way. Nice exterior, quaint, cute green doors on each unit and a lovely reception/restaurant area. Check in was a breeze, we were even 30 mins early and it was no problem whatsoever. Key in hand and a little bottle of fresh milk, we entered our room (41). The room itself was quite large, freshly painted (the painter was still around the units), large double bed, fresh linen, towels and nice hygiene products. TV unit was quite high, but it wasn't too much of a problem, you can view the programs okay without kinking your neck. Two sided walk in robe/cupboard with hanging space and shelving. And a light inside that turns on automatically when you open the doors. Little kitchen type area with a shelf, fridge, cupboard with glasses, teacups, tea, coffee, sugar and a toaster. Nothing fancy but enough for a nights stay. Bathroom is a nice size, however the shower runs poorly with hot water taking a very long time to come through and even then, the water is tepid. *update, the owner popped in and we discussed the water situation, he bent over backwards to help us out and is investigating the situation. *2nd update, We unfortunately did not get the hot water and it still ran cold the next day, no other contact from the owner. Bed had beautiful pillows and lovely, fresh linen but the mattress wasn't the best, so hopefully with the updates, they will invest in new beds. Overall the place is doing fine, you can see that the new owners are really trying to improve on it. I think within time, the place will be fantastic.

Review 30:No complaints at all. If I had to say something I would note that the beige carpet was not a commercial enough colour and therefore showed up stains.

Review 31:Accomodation was spacious and excellent value for money. Staff were friendly and genuine. The meal we had to our room was excellent too.

Review 32:Pet friendly. Table and chairs to sit outside. Grassed area, quiet with wooden outdoor setting. Close to nature, i.e., beautiful deer and calming scenery, after a long hot, drive. Friendly, welcoming staff. Close to lovely, clean walking parks. Good sized bathroom. The quiet area. The spaciousness. Comfy bed. Tea making facilities. Good sized fridge and freezer.

Review 33:There were complications with the breakfast, no soy milk and flat white was the only coffee option. The pool lights were turned out before the advertised time and the sauna and spa were not working.

Review 34:very spacious, the kids loved feeding the deer

Review 35:There was nothing to not like my stay was enjoyable,

Review 36:Had a great stay and the beds and lounge were very comfy, had the best sleep. Rooms are clean and spacious, the bathroom had a full size bath. The best part was the feeding of the deer at the back of their property, this is great for the little kids, as well as the big ones. Great to know that it's pet friendly for my next visit through with my dog. Room was not small but big compared to others I've stayed in. The staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. We will stay again for sure. Thanks for a great stay and all the very best for 2015

Review 37:A microwave oven would have been good. I understand that they had them to hire but most places have them in the rooms.

Review 38:The room was warm and comfortable. The bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly. There was plenty of parking space. Our room was on the ground floor - great! All in all, nice place to stay.

Review 39:This property is clean and comfortable. One of the few properties catering for a family with young teens - 1 x queen bed and 2 x singles. Was a stopover on our way to Brisbane. Owners very accommodating.

Review 40:I booked in here as we were traveling with pets and it was a great location. The rooms were clean and bedding was very comfortable. Grant and Wendy were really helpful with our booking. Would recommend if traveling with pets. Oh and the kids loved feeding the deers.
