10/10 Exceptional

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.

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 ***

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)!

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.

Beds were good. Refrigerator wasn't plugged in so our food was wasted. Didnt realise until we left 2 days later. 1 power point was dangerous and not connected to wall. Shower area was clean but paint coming off wall. Steps in shower are dangerous. Staff were friendly.

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!

4/10 Fair

No flyscreens on door or windows. Unable to open windows and therefore no fresh air. Dust was an inch thick on window sills and skirting boards Some furniture was 50 years old and not antique. Very noisey. Primitive. All linen was clean
