Country stay

Comfortable clean room, very lost in the 80s. Bathroom had been updated but water pressure was poor affecting shower. Was disappointed that there was no internet available.

Old motel, nice quiet A/C, bed, hot water all good. Bit pricey for the moderate level of comfort. Clean and good ventilation as there was a stink of deodorant. Would stay again for a good night sleep, but would negotiate for better deal.

Worst hotel ever

Booked through wotif many times, the place was disgusting, room was filthy, heater nobs missing, door handles missing, only three lounge chairs in a family room for four ppl and the weekend manager said in his opinion it's less than a three star rating... had to leave our key on doorstep as we left as specified on a note at the front locked reception door... pathetic

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
The staff was friendly, polite. The beds were on wheels... on a smooth, flat surface. We rolled ALL OVER THE ROOM. The joke wore thin pretty quickly. My daughter fell off her bed a few times. The beds were so slippery they were near impossible to sleep on. There was also only one blanket between two sheets - not suitable for this area in winter. We were cold. The WiFi password didn’t work for the internet. No value for money.

Spacious rooms with a quiet country outlook.

The rooms at the front with the lovely views out to the Victorian countryside are the pick. It seems previous issues regarding hot water (which I noticed mentioned on older reviews) have been sorted. The room we stayed in had been recently renovated judging by the modern decor and floating floor.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We first got the wrong room but the man in the office was happy to change it to one we ordered. They came into our room the next day and emptied the bins, replenishing the toilet paper rolls, turned off our heater but didn’t make the beds. Would have loved the heater on when returned back that evening.

Clean & friendly staff

Staff were friendly & happy to wait as we were going to be late for check in. Room was clean & linen fresh but beds need brakes as they rolled around a lot. It appears that management are refurbishing the rooms & if that is correct I think it will look fantastic.

Very run down. Staff could not issue me a receipt for the full amount paid as we were told a commission was to be paid to website who advertised. This has not happened at any motel we have stayed at previously.

Quiet motel

We were disappointed with the facilities. We were lucky to be provided with half a glass of milk which was not replaced. There was 2 cups 2 mugs and 2 sauces and 2 teaspoons, a toaster, jug and microwave. No plates for toast. Microwave had to be moved to reach power point.

Cheap and cheerful without the cheap

Very clean, neat and tidy but overpriced for an older style motel - bathroom exhaust fan and wall lights no longer worked - a peaceful location with lovely wheat field across the road, mattress a little ordinary.

Away from everything

The Motel itself was Ok and it was clean and comfortable but I hadn't realised there was nothing near it. It was very hard to find - a problem with GPS which owner said often happened. Poor Wifi but in fairness it wasn't promoted as having wifi.

A1 hospitality feom the hotel owners

I was late on arrival with my family, crying upset baby, and the hotel owners stayed up 1hr and 15mins after their night time close. They greeted my family with such kindness and had put the heater on in our room for us. The next morning they sent us off with such happy smiles. It was a pleasure to stay at the Cardigan Lodge Motel. I would definately stay there again.
