Reviews for Silver Spade Motel/Hotel
Review 1：Local traffic noise until 10:30. Room was tucked away in a "grotto" (where two building wings join) and provided limited space. Also because of the joining of the "wings" parking close to the room was difficult. Very slow WiFi. Probably wouldn't stay again.
Review 2：Location was good. Close to the main street and clubs. Staff cheerful and helpful.
Review 3：Nothing really, front garden/parking area could do with a few plants maybe, and also the rooms (my room at least) lack a bedside table. Otherwise faultless.
Review 4：Excellent beds and bathrooms, very kind and friendly staff. Great location right near the town centre.
Review 5：Looks can be deceiving, it was clean, quite and cheap. This fitted what we needed for the night to break up a long drive. Easy walk to a few places for diner. All up, very happy.
Review 6：Bathroom very cold and no heating.
Review 7：Largest room on our whole trip. Facilities a little tired but clean and comfortable. Good sized shower and lovely hot water.
Review 8：External appearance not as expected from website, however, after inspection was acceptable. Demolition of associated hotel (development awaiting council approval) leaves openness to possible passing traffic noise.
Review 9：Recently refreshed and modernised bathroom.
Review 10：Bed hard. Kettle dirty. Shower attrocious. Bad drain smell. Shift workers noise extremely early. All acceptable for a budget cost but was $150 a night. We were booked for three nights but left early because it was bad.
Review 11：Reasonably clean
Review 12：The friendliness of the owners/staff....we were made very welcome and comfortable. Nothing was a trouble to them. It was just like coming home each night. Would not contemplate staying anywhere else on our next and subsequent visits.
Review 13：Pretty curtains that don't quite close. Street noise ( V8 hoons and pedestrian light beeps.) ; but Hey! that's the price for a central location :-) No Microwave ( they want a $5 fee).
Review 14：Great location to explore the town centre by foot. VERY nice renovation of the bathroom. Free Wi-Fi that works.
Review 15：Very noisy water pipes. Tv too small for distance from bed. Shower curtain instead of door. No kitchen sink,had to use bathroom vanity. No bedside table.
Review 16：Location in town.
Review 17：Traffic can be a bit noisy at night

Review 20：Lovely, helpful and friendly staff. Close to the main street of Broken Hill with easy walk to shops, clubs and eateries.
Review 21：Very put off initially by the facade. Another property on the block was demolished and it gave the motel an undeservedly skid row look. don't be fazed, it isn't fancy but it's a good stay.

Review 59：Jenny the hostess very welcoming and helpful.
Review 60：Very friendly and helpful welcome. Was offered the family room as its in the corner and is the quietest room which I had requested in the booking. Great bed and pillows, plenty of blankets and a great shower. Would definitely recommend and stay again, although not sure what the standard room is like, but I'm sure as good.

Review 69：Very friendly service - spacious room and very clean. Needed somewhere to stay at short notice on a work trip and this was perfect. Walking distance to Main Street. Would certainly stay again (preferred it to the ibis across the road).

Review 71：Good location and friendly helpful staff.
Review 72：No drinking water in fridge
Review 73：A comfortable, clean, reasonably priced motel, although starting to show its age a little. Were very grateful we were allowed into our room early. Would stay here again.

Review 79：A little noise from the road which could be reduced by boundary vegetation but generally OK
Review 80：Simple, basic accommodation. Clean with friendly staff and a good location.

Review 85：Staff - easy going and friendly. I would go back just to see them again.
Review 86：Can be a little noisy at night as it's on the main street, and the hotel section, which would protect the motel units from the street noise, has been demolished pending a rebuild. WiFi signal was very weak (or non-existent) in the room.
Review 87：Well positioned and priced, friendly staff, comfortable and clean room.
Review 88：the hotel had been demolited a week before in front of the motel so pretty bad views plus no phone in room due to the demolition
Review 89：distance from railway station and bus depot and shops clubs
Review 90：I can't fault anything - except the soap for the shower. Bring your own. It is generic hotel kind of soap and ok for an emergency, but will dry out your skin and feel yuck. This doesn't reflect on the quality of the hotel in any way, just a tip.
Review 91：Ruth & Wayne are lovely, we felt so welcome. Our trip was spontaneous and we had no idea what to expect. The room was simple, budget-style, clean and comfortable. The air conditioning made the room so cold and comfortable, I loved it. Just a short stroll down to The Palace Hotel from Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Central location on the main street of Broken Hill. You could easily walk to all places in the main part of town or a quick drive to the museum and restaurant overlooking the town. Overall a very pleasant stay, simple and cheerful. Thank you Ruth & Wayne.
Review 92：The hotel was having some unexpected repairs when we arrived. A hotel staff person met us, informed us that they had bookeed us into another motel nearby and even assisted with getting our luggage there. Great service, thank you.
Review 93：Very loud group of gentlemen returning from pub late at night andcontinuing to 'party' loudly!
