Reviews for Dupont Motels
Review 1：The website stated that this motel allowed dogs, but when I rung to confirm this, I was told 'there had better not be too much fur'. Don't advertise as being dog-friendly if you don't want to deal with the odd fur ball. Also when my husband rang the bell to checkout, the owner was quite rude to him.
Review 2：Clean room, nice shower
Review 3：All was good .
Review 4：Friendly helpful staff . Good location short drive from city and Picton ferry . Good bus and train connections as well . Quite location .
Review 5：Noise - rooms right next to street. Cigarettes - smokers all around and smoking right outside the windows and doors. Beds - not comfortable; pillows flat. Parking - not enough space to park by your room. Wi-Fi - does not work
Review 6：Good shower spray but weird shower (must close both curved doors to keep water from spraying out - challenging to get shower started and warm before getting in).
Review 7：Not really bad experiences but slightly annoying things such as hairdryer not working,slow Wi-Fi and being in a front unit slightly noisy in mornings.

Review 78：The man who welcomed me when I arrived talked too much and would not get on with the business of giving me the key and access to my room. And then he spent ages showing me everything in the room. This was not necessary as I have stayed at many similar motels. In the end I had to ask him to leave so that I could unpack and settle in. There was very little room to get out my park if the park next to mine was being used. A few hints on how to do this when I first arrived, would have been really helpful, instead of everything the gentleman insisted on telling me about my motel room.
