The staff were friendly. Got the room at a good price. There was a few bugs about and the room wasnt the cleanest ive stayed in. Beds were comfortable. Interestingly, there isnt a door on the bathroom, but a shower curtain instead!
Norwood House Motel reception staff member was very polite and welcoming. The Motel is a reasonably comfortable place to stay with the basic necessities required.
Basic accommodation comfortable bed a good shower.
Convenient to Mornington shopping strip.
Staff friendly rooms are in desperate need of refurnishing.

Overall room was ok, clean and tea/coffee making available. The bed seemed quite hard to my wife but was ok for me. TV did not work on free to air channels so could only get 9Now digital and couldnt download any other TV apps.

It served our purpose!
Beds were comfy!
Sadly, it needs a lot of work done to it ....
When I called to let them know that we would be checking in really late, the owner/reception guy was very helpful. He just left our room unlocked (left key inside the room) and turn on the heater on
Laurie the owner was lovely. I phoned ahead to advise we were running late & it wasn’t a problem.
On arrival we chatted with Laurie for about 1/2 hr - great communication and quite a lot in common with us. Lots of plans to change how the venue and how it is used.
On approach the accommodation looks in need of tlc but it’s happening.
Our room was very comfortable and had all we needed for a nights stay.

A 3 night stay.
Bed was clean and fresh. It is a case of you get what you pay for. The owner was helpful and friendly. Towels need replacing. Bathroom is only big enough for one person. Badly in need of renovations which l believe will be addressed. Noisy neighbours made sleep impossible on the last night.
Curtains not closing. Rubbish outside door. Old worn towels. Noisy neighbours. Poor lighting in bathroom.
Clean comfortable bed.
Wouldn’t recommend.

Very conveniently located between Frankston and Mornington, the two places where I had to go.
The room smelled stuffy and smoke from outside had probably entered the room.
No ironing board or hangers were provided.
