Reviews for Port Stephens Motel
Review 1：Nice quiet location. Undercover parking. Room had a small balcony with sliding door. Had a nice kitchenette well stocked with plates and cutlery, microwave, toaster.
Review 2：No hand towels. No plug for lamp on one side of the bed, unable to use it. Bed was uncomfortable. Rooms are non smoking but people allowed to smoke on the balcony, we are non smokers and unfortunately the smell of smoke permeated our room from the balcony next to our room, giving me headaches and a feeling quite heady. No foxtel. No iron or ironing board in the room. Bar missing off the inside of fridge door so couldnt put milk or bottles on the inside of door. Because we complained about the smoking smell the manager gave us a free one night stay for sometime next year.
Review 3：Had a microwave & fridge. It was very quite. Undercover parking.
Review 4：We liked how central this motel is to Restaurants, beaches and shopping. The staff were very nice and welcoming. The room we stayed in was directly above the pool, which was a big hit with the kids. The room was also clean and equipped with everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The room rate was very reasonable for mid December. I would definately recommend this motel to any budget conscious travellers out there.
Review 5：I staid for 3 days and did not have my bathroom serviced. The bed was badly made, the carpet was not cleaned.
Review 6：The friendliness and helpfulness of the Manager
Review 7：the motel was within walking distance to food and drink outlets. The owner was great as we were arriving very late and it was no problem to him to leave the key out
Review 8：Did not like the water pressure in the shower, and the bathroom needed a good clean especially round the skirting boards, there was a crack in the wash hand basin and the toilet, and the carpet needs a good steam clean or even replaced. We found the accomodation was in need of updating and some TLC.
Review 9：The location was handy to what we wanted to see and do. The bed was comfortable and the linen clean and towels lovely and clean.
Review 10：Outside veranda flooded in heavy rain soaking carpet. Plates but no bowls in cupboard

Review 15：The staff were friendly and very helpful. The Motel is in a great position , central location for all holiday needs.
Review 16：It's an older motel, but the cleanliness makes up for it. There was a great family of Kookaburras living across the road, their night time chorus was superb.
Review 17：Very dated, room very dark. Verandah too small to use. Fly screens torn and many mosquitos about.
Review 18：Friendly, helpful staff. Great location to restaurants, beaches, shops. Free undercover parking and free wifi.
Review 19：Great price compared to other motels, good undercover parking, room functional and pleasant, nice balcony with leafy outlook. Easy 10min walk to local shops.
Review 20：The outdoor public facilities were too close to other rooms. We were kept awake by incessant chatting late into the night . Noise and cooking odors travelled to the rooms immediately above the sitting area
Review 21：Not that we didn't like it, but were a bit surprised that unless we hung the "please make up my room" sign on, then the bins were emptied but the bed wasn't made. No big deal though :)

Review 33：Bathroom a little dirty needs a good clean stood on a piece of glass on the carpet dirty carpet no breakfast available
Review 34：The friendly staff, Room was comfortable. Motel having renovations understood it was a little noisy enjoyed my stay
Review 35：Very well located for travelers wanting to explore the Port Stephens area by public bus rather than car. Bus stops to Fingal Bay, Shoal Bay, Soldiers Point, Corlette and Salamandar just outside motel
Review 36：I booked the motel expecting that we would be our and about a lot but the weather was very bad for two days. I asked regarding things to do in the area on check in but the staff member didn't give us any information just showed us to the brochures. Room was v basic. Strange smell in the room. Bed was v hard and duvet and pillows were v flimsy.
Review 37：Location was good and it was nice and quite in the motel even though the area was v busy for Easter
Review 38：Faultless
Review 39：A quiet location, a short stroll to restaurants and attractions, great amenities, attentive staff, and the best nights sleep I've had in a Motel anywhere.
Review 40：- Rubbish pillows. We both had sore necks in the morning. Pillows way past their useby dates - Bed was like a rock. We understand that beds need to stand up to a lot but there wasn't even a nice soft topper on it. I woke with an aching lower back - The doona cover was stained. Very scary. Never used it. How many people has this seen since it was washed? - The room stank. I mean really really stank. Years and years of smokers and stale smoke embedded into the exposed brickwork. I am sure if they took the time they would find a solution to this. Other places we have stayed in seemed to have. - The floor in the bathroom looked like it had not had a scrub in years. There was mud caked around the floor drain - No soap in the sink dispenser, No shower gel in the shower dispenser. Clearly housekeeping do not check this. - The shower had not been cleaned properly, there was congealed shower gel in one corner on the floor. - Mould on walls could have easily been wiped away. - Cobwebs on ceiling in room that were old.
Review 41：Noisy neighbours.. The cold water tap came off in my hand so was unable to have a shower before I left to continue my journey. I did receive an apology from the man at reception.
Review 42：Friendly check in Comfortable bed and clean room. Room average, but I was only there for an overnight stay, so the room worked for me, any longer, stay elsewhere.
Review 43：husband cut his head on the cord where the power point placed behind the pillow on the bed not correct place to put a power to connect the light. and the shower is dangerous and the bottom all marked where the coating has worn away. unable to fill the kettle had to use a jug to fill it.
