Reviews for Border Gateway Motel

Review 1:This location was perfect due to work commitments. The room was basic, however extremely clean and well presented, which was all I needed. The staff were very friendly.

Review 2:pebbly drive way in front of room, as a partially disabled person, found it difficult to wheel my suitcase into the room.

Review 3:comfortable bed, great shower, large room and friendly staff

Review 4:We were in room #1, closest to the road, had a bit of traffic noise overnight.... Wasn't unbearable.

Review 5:Staff were a delight. Very helpful. Booking didn't reflect our 7 month old and they were great, offering a porta cot (we'd brought ours), baby bath and promptly got another towel for bub.

Review 6:We were travelling through and I chose Boarder Gateway because of the Bistro being across the road and closeness to the highway.The Bistro meals were great as well. For a 3 star motel, this one was excellent. The bathroom was huge! Bonus of having a cheap fuel station close by to fill up before we left.

Review 7:No complaints

Review 8:The owners/managers of the motel catered to our every request and had a lovely friendly warm manner. The room was spacious with a nice table and chairs. Good location opposite a very nice hotel for dining.

Review 9:We travelled to Wodonga for a funeral, so the occasion was not a joyful one, but the comfort of the room, and the friendliness of the owners was very good. We would not hesitate booking again.

Review 10:No issues at all.

Review 11:owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. Pool was a welcome relief from the 36 degrees. Location was about 30 seconds from the main freeway - great as a base camp.

Review 12:Absolutely nothing

Review 13:The pool and large grass area so the kids could run around after a long drive. The hotel across the road was quiet and served good food.

Review 14:my main complaint with all motels is unsuitable blankets etc,most blankets and doonas are too heavy, some cotton blankets would generally be preferable, with spare blankets properly stored in clean plastic bags, not just thrown loose in the bottom of wardrobes

Review 15:practical, innovative bathroom design - best I've seen very roomy unit with clean, comfortable bedding lovely little park at the rear very friendly service excellent location

Review 16:Light next to bed was a bit far away and awkward to turn switch off.

Review 17:The convenience of your car right outside your door. Large shower, no wet shower curtain sticking to you whilst showering. Price was good.

Review 18:There was a toaster, but no knives to spread butter/jam etc. Even a plastic one would have been great. I couldn't get the Wi-fi to connect to my iPad which was annoying, but maybe that was just me.

Review 19:Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was easy to find and in a very quiet location.

Review 71:I thought the premises was clean and tidy. I was particularly impressed with the size of the shower. I also appreciated the large screen to watch the footy.

Review 72:The building itself was dated as was the decor style. The mirror in the bathroom was on the side wall making it difficult to use while shaving.

Review 79:The air conditioner was placed around the corner of the room and it was difficult to receive the benefit of the cool air when you were in trying to sleep.
