Reviews for Lazy River Motor Inn
Review 1:Dirty linen, it appeared that the single beds have been slept in and sheets not changed, front door jamming so when going in and out you had to pull it hard making a lot of noise, cars around the back looked like a wreckers yard, lawns and garden not maintained, drive way had big pot holes.causing car to scrape. Very disappointed for what we paid. Shower would run hot and cold!
Review 2:Ac very good however I had requested it to be turned on at 12.30 so going on arrival. Fridge very good, nice and cold.
Review 3:The bed was as stiff as slab of concrete and the bed moved and made lots of noise and there was a rather large crack going from on side of wall to other and there was no cutlery or plates in room made eating our take in meal difficult
Review 4:The price was fair spa suit and the room was large enough
Review 5:Old decor and swimming pool that needs work. Location is a few kms out of town.
Review 6:Clean and comfortable facilities. Friendly and helpful staff with spacious room, good value for money.
Review 7:I've never been so scared to drink a cup of coffee or use a towel in a hotel room. There's no way you can completely relax when there are signs everywhere telling you not to "steal" the coffee and not to dirty the towels or you will be charged for it! There was no cutlery or plates so if you plan to stay be prepared and bring your own. There was a toaster, but no plates or knives to serve toast on. Grounds could use a good clean up, first impression of the place was not really good. Description of property states that the motel is on 2 acres of gardens. What gardens?? Old beat up cars all around the place. Not very aesthetically pleasing.
Review 8:We stayed in the spa room for one night. The room was large and looked very nice, even though it was a bit run down.
Review 9:Arrived to lovely pics on slide in front office(nothing like rooms). put in room went to toilet, opened soap to wash hands, put rubbish in bin and was a dirty sanitary napkin inside. second room, lots of cobwebs, no fan in the bathroom,the shower screen broken,hole in skirt in bathroom, main light in room didn't work, lamps behind bed head falling off wall. As we had the room for 2 nights I was a bit confused at why the cleaner came in to straighten up after the first night!
Review 10:it was located not to far out of town, it had air-con,
Review 11:The surrounds are very tired - need lots of TLC. Very difficult to get the key to open the door. Hot water took ages to come in the shower
Review 12:The room was clean and provided the basic requirements. Bed very comfortable
Review 13:When travelling from Howlong to Adelaide we always stop at Lazy River Motor Inn. It is convenient , quiet and comfortable stopover at a reasonable price.
Review 14:Delayed travel made for a very late check in (on the morning of check out) but Chris was very helpful and accomodating outside of standard arrangements.
Review 15:1 Floor damage 2 Slugs getting into shower enclosure
Review 16:1 Cheap 2 Size of room 3 Location 4 Quietness 5 Convenient 6 Very convenient and roomy car parking
Review 17:A long way from town Not as friendly as other moteliers Not warm and cosy, rather cheap and utilitarian Swahill is like a truckies stop; not for families
Review 18:Clean and efficient. Had no problems. Found the place easily
Review 19:The filthy carpet, the cobwebs everywhere, the broken glass in the shower The PUBIC HAIRS on the ledge next to the toilet roll, and the empty and broken female hygiene wrapper receptacle..... And then, there's "Mrs Fawlty"..... Yes a real life female version of Basil Fawlty! Apparently having a conversation whilst smoking out front of our hovel, was inappropriate, rude, and we were told we were behaving like trailer trash... There were at least 3 wrecked cars at the back of the property, and two cars being worked on next to reception.... Is this a mechanic or a hotel??? I don't know. I'm confused. We will NEVER be coming back... EVER
Review 20:Nothing...... Absolutely nothing...
Review 21:A large ground area but nothing for the kids, no playground etc
Review 22:It was only a 2 min drive into town. The rooms where clean & they changed the towels every day.
Review 23:It wasn't a bad experience as such but the place was quite run down.
Review 24:The beds were very comfortable and although it got cold through the night and blankets weren't enough there was electric blankets on the bed that worked very well.
Review 25:No, nothing.
Review 26:I booked late for next day arrival. I arrived after hours and room was ready, no hassle having to check in at 10pm Good value for 3star motel
Review 27:Beds were uncomfortable, rubbish left under our beds on our arrival. Dirty shower, with no lights at the entry it was a major traffic hazard.
Review 28:Price was good
Review 29:The room booked was a family unit and what we got was a big room with a double bed, 2 singles a kitchen table & chairs and a fridge. The toilet bowl was smashed, no hot water after running the tap and shower for 10 minutes. A toaster was provided but no knife or plates! Everything plugged into one multi box hanging from behind the fridge. It was quite clean once you cleared the cobwebs from the front door which basically had to be booted in because the door stuck. The bedside lights were decoration as they didn't work and the 10 year old smoke detector was hanging from the roof by a thread. Would never stay again or recommend.
Review 30:Not a bad experience but maybe a surface and more hooks in bathroom/ toilet to put clothing and toilet bag etc - that sounds petty but u are doing a great job of making an older building fresh it would just make it easier for guests when juggling their gear in bathroom
Review 31:Clean comfy beds in a very pleasant and clean environment - the smell was really fresh and a clean smell. Liked the modern touch to colours of bedding. And the price was affordable
Review 32:Nothing
Review 33:The staff assisted us by giving us after hours access to the room as we were on a very long road trip. It was a quiet, comfortable room with friendly staff.
Review 34:When we entered room we could smell pesticides and there were dead cochroaches on the floor. The bathroom was dirty and paint peeling off tiles. The pool was not clean.
Review 35:Location was okay, the family size room was good heaps of space. Staff were friendly
Review 36:It was very hot when we were there,we went out for a few hours when we got back someone had turned our air cooler of so we came back to a hot room [not happy] plus the cooler just barley worked.Light in bathroom and fan did not work.
Review 37:i loved that the rooms were spotless, the bed was the best,and the pool was great.
Review 38:Reception not helpful, rooms clean but that's about all good about them, yard cluttered with old trucks and cars, outdoor area/pool need a lot of work, lawn area full of prickles, rules in room ie don't get makeup on towels etc a bit over the top! Supplied toaster but no cutlery or crockery- will not be recommending this motel to anyone
Review 39:Price for the condition of site and facilities.
Review 40:It was a clean and tidy little accommodation area that was slightly overpriced for what else is in the area, and the facilities.
Review 41:Too many signs and rules in rooms. They are very over the top with their threats and consequences including if you use all the tea and coffee sachets during your stay and if you dare to dirty a towel you will be charged a replacement fee - too ridiculous for words.
Review 42:Staff were accommodating and helpful with late arrival arrangements.
Review 43:This is the 2nd time ive stayed at the lazy river my first time was for work but this time was for leisure, I must say not only have both times been great value for money but this time i booked a much better room. For the price i paid my expectations were completely exceeded... great place
Review 44:not spacious, (but it was not very expensive, so to be expected).
Review 45:friendly owners; quiet location, and not too far from town; good facilities, even if slightly 'tired'.
Review 46:Nothing, I liked everytng
Review 47:Walking into the room my first expression was: "Wow, how clean and fresh it looks". Generous bathroom, well set kitchen, comfortable beds, everything looked sparkling clean... Even though it was on the outskirts of town, I would not stay anywhere else next time. Absolutely excellent
Review 48:Overkill on 'don'ts', there were a plethora of warnings posted around the room, don't stain the towels, don't raid the tea/coffee, don't flush things down the toilet etc. There must be a less confrontational way of getting these messages across. It is meant to be relaxing
Review 49:Cleanliness, microwave
Review 50:Great to see microwave & toaster, but no plates, bowls, knives or forks?? Also very easy to miss the motel at night if you don't know where it is.
Review 51:Very clean, good mattress, had almost everything you need. Would definitely stay again.
Review 52:The air con is really noisy. We can't have it on to sleep. It's really cold in winter without air con on.

Review 54:Didnt like the noisy heater and it wasn't really warm enough ( mind you it was particularly cold.
Review 55:The room was spacious. Had a spa - it was OK, but it was good to have a shower. It was lovely to have lovely hot water. The room was also quiet and we slept well.
Review 56:the pervasive, cloying de-odorant smell the first night. I had to get some eucalyptus oil to mask it before I could sleep.
