Do not stay at this hotel. Many issues needing fixing. No key to the room and would not change to another room, bathroom had broken floor tiles in shower, tap was hard to use and faulty, shower rail was loose, poor lighting, smoke detector had no batteries and was hanging open, fridge leaking and knob broken, scrim curtain was shredded and blind slashed. It looks like it has been this way for a long time.

it was easy to find. was thankful that the office closed at 9pm due to late arrival of spirit of tasmania the entry vynil had tears and was in need of replacement, there were dirty marks on the carpet and the bed covering also had dirty marks. The enrty door had to be pushed really hard to latch closed, along with the bathroom door. the room smelt very musty like spilt water not cleaned up. The kettle for coffee could not be filled at the tap, as the kettle was too bibg to get in the bathroom sink. the grassed area out side the window was disgusting. I like to let natural light into a room. but the unmown rubbish filled are was unsatisfactory. The furnishings required attention, as there was paint chipped and the back of the door was just dirty. May i suggest that each room be inspected by maintenance and each week and upgrade items as required.

It was a very tired and old motel. Room was clean, but remote for the TV didn’t work. Cost for the unit left a lot to be desired. We've since stayed in other areas that were more cost effective and nicer.

This property is very old and very shabby. Peeling paint, marks and dings in the walls greet you upon opening the door to your room. While it is clean, you can't overlook this. The atmosphere of the property feels unsafe.

Lovely staff. Was able to wash and dry laundry overnight using machines at reasonable price. Just didn’t appreciate being woken up by inconsiderate cabin users making breakfast and playing music at 5am. Glad another camper sorted this so was able to go back to sleep. Very convenient and quiet area otherwise not far from Spirit of Tasmania drop off. Thanks ***

Excellent older style motel, spotlessly clean. Comfortable king sized bed. Tea/coffee provided, microwave, fridge, toaster & breakfast crockery/cutlery. Rooms 23-25 are the quietest as they are off the main road. Curry on Corio serves excellent Indian food and is located in the football of nearby Corio Village shopping centre. Motel is 6 minutes away from the Spirit of Tasmania terminal.

The was nothing unique about this property. The location is great but the venue is disgusting. The room was filthy, the vinyl floor covering was worn through and very dirty, the carpet was disgustingly filthy covered in grease and dirt, the table and chairs were dirty and sticky the toilet seat was not attached to the Pan. the smoke alarm was hanging from the ceiling, people outside at 4.00am smoking at my room door and filling the room with smoke. Not a memorable visit after a long drive.

If you want budget accommodation, this is fine, i was okay with it. My room was in dire need for a major reno, but the sheets were clean, so was the bathroom. Best feature is proximity to Spirit of Tasmania ferry. Would happily stay there again to be in easy reach of relevant facilities.

Only good thing about our stay was the bed was clean & comfortable! Place is old & out dated. Needs a good clean & a coat of paint at the very least! Badly leaking shower, torn floor vinyl & broken smoke detector. You need ear plugs to sleep as motel is on a busy road (not their fault)!

Definitely not value for money. Coffee & tea supplies were only enough for 1 drink per person & milk was frozen. Only two face washers for four people, no tea towel. Only sink in kitchen (had to shave in the kitchen). The room had a build-up of dirt behind the beds.

Smoke detector hanging from ceiling inoperable. Bed linen seemed clean and bed was comfortable. Towels etc clean but shower and basin not. Location convenient for access to Tasmanian ferry terminal.

We had been to the motel before, quite a long time ago, and we were happy with the motel at that time. This time, while a few things in the room appeared new, the walls and chairs were very shabby, and there was no hot water in the shower. There was only one pillow per person on the bed, and my husband normally has 2 pillows. The person who checked us in was polite and helpful. The room was quieter than I expected being next to the highway. The accommodation was quite cheap - I guess you get what you pay for!
