Port Macquarie Motels

I was pretty disappointed with our stay here given their rather high prices and after reading all these wonderful reviews on Tripadvisor. I have stayed in Best Western hotels all over the world and were always been impressed. This hotel (motel) is rated 4 stars except I don't see what is 4 stars about it? That it has a pool and a restaurant? Neither of which we used. We could not use the pool as the water was not heated. In fact we never saw anybody ever using it during our entire 3 night stay there. . After looking at the photos again I think it really depends which room you get. Out of the 72 photos of theirs posted here only 2-3 show the old, unrenovated rooms with the brick walls (which we got). . Despite having stayed at many 3 star motels which had microwaves included, at this supposed 4 star motel I had to ask for one. They were nice enough to provide one so the service was good, but it did not come standard with our room (only the bigger, renovated, more expensive, non-brick wall rooms get them I guess). The photos on booking.com for their 'Executive Queen room' are completely misleading as we did not have a kitchen sink/benchtop, microwave, luggage rack/shelf, nor a desk. I will be notifying booking.com about this too. . Our room was very run down with mould in the shower, rust/chipping paint on the wall, and a towel rack which fell down on me while I was getting my towel off it as it was not securely properly. The plastic hook rack at the back of the door was broken and unusable, the carpet was worn at the edges, the sink tap heads had disgusting crap embedded in them, the hand rail at the bottom of the stairs outside our room had an end cap missing leaving a sharp metal edge protruding right around the height of our toddler... The shower area has absolutely nowhere to put our own shampoo bottles etc. There was only 1 roll of toilet paper provided for 2 adults staying 3 nights. . We had no outdoor space, table or chairs, and no drying racks to dry our swimwear and towels etc after going to the beach (which seems quite common for other motels/hotels located near the beach). . They do not clean every day (or at all until after we leave) and don't even take our the rubbish either. I had to ask specifically for them to come and collect our rubbish since we had dirty nappies in it. There are no bathrobes, slippers or in room safes supplied. No laundry facilities. No town maps provided. Again, I'm still baffled what warrants this 4 star rating? . Finally, the mattress moves/shakes so much.. every time my partner moved in the middle of the night it felt like there was an earthquake and he said the same of me (even though I'm far from being a big person). I would wake up every hour of the night. . The only overall good thing I can say is that the service was good and the place was clean, also that we were not given a roadside room which meant it was quieter.. but given the price (I guess we're partially paying for the upkeep of their pool

Friendly helpful lady at reception on arrival , great dinner recommendations and also a good walking route for the morning. Good value and central location . Booked last minute nothing was a problem . Shame it wasn’t warmer so we could use the pool !

This was a very basic but clean motel in the centre of Port Macquarie. The main plus is the price and if all you’re really after is a bed for the night, then this more than does the job. In this respect, it's excellent value. Staff was friendly and helpful and checked to make sure we had plenty of milk, tea and coffee in the room. The room was clean, modern and neat with the all main facilities you’d expect (bar fridge, TV, good wifi, a/c, kettle) but nothing extra. We had off-street parking (although you have to pay a little more for this). It was a bit further from the beach than I realised but was still only 10 - 12 minutes walk from Town Beach.

A typical motel with a large bed and a small bed, suitable for a family of three. Breakfast is very simple, cereal, coffee, bread, if you want to lick, you have to pay a single point, and pay. The location is by the lake, there are many graffiti stones by the lake, you can look at it. The hotel manager left at 11pm and found the key to open the door. They will leave keys and messages for you. As a transitional accommodation is not bad.

Comfortable well priced clean, accommodation, very happy with our experience central location. We had a glimpse of water views walking distance to shops, and the water. Friendly staff. Cannot fault our experience. On-site parking. Will be back . Thanks Connie

A great home away from home. I have stayed at Aston Hill numerous times since December last year when my Mum went into Aged Care. Having a place to stay where I feel safe on my own is a big deal to me and my husband, especially when he is 300kms away on those occasions. The beds are so comfortable and the facilities are extremely convenient when needing to make a simple breakfast for myself. They even have breakfast packs available for only a few dollars. Annette has always been very friendly and easy to deal with. Aston Hill is also very close to restaurants and shops, making it one of the most convenient central accommodation available. So grateful I found this little comfy oasis in Port Macquarie.

Fantastic Motel,,, Very clean , and comfortable. Huge room ,Recliner chair, 2 seater lounge chair and 4 seater table,, Comfortable Bed and Big Bathroom. Huge supply of Tea, Coffee and Sugar, (Unlike other Motels we have stayed at) People at Front Reception are great. Walking distance to Main Entrance to Base Hospital. Would definately stay here again.

Travelling back home we picked this motel for a one night stopover. Slowly but surely the new owners are renovating the motel and their efforts are being rewarded. Nice to see a few outdoor chairs and pot plants, a special smoking spot and well established parking areas. The room was clean, everything we wanted provided for, bed firm and we had a good sleep. Whilst we are not regular visitors to Port Macquarie, we would recommend this motel if you are looking for a clean, comfortable room at a very reasonable price.

Nice own access to the room with a tea corner. Parking infront of the room. The room was a bit small, indeed had absolutely everything you need as refrigerator, A/C, TV, teapot, hairdryer etc. Good for a stopover if you're going from Sydney to Brisbane and vice versa. Some complementory snacks in the room. Self check-in available with an access-code. Interesting to observe some rainbow lorikeets on the trees around. Disliked · No sidetables near the bed, so you can put your devices. Maybe it was a bit overpriced in comparison what you can get elsewhere.

The hotel location is good, the facilities are complete, clean and tidy, and the rooms are large. Google Maps seems to be set too inaccurately. The navigation suddenly ran to a barren place. Fortunately, I finally found it. Departing from Sydney, it was late, and it was already midnight. We greeted the front desk in advance and said that we would arrive later. The front desk said that it was okay to leave the room door unlocked and put the keys on the table in the store. When I went to the room, the door was locked, and I went to find the front desk staff (not the person who answered my phone during the day was a Chinese man). He was already asleep. When I woke him up, he was very upset and scolded him to find The key, even said, ”This is not China, we do not accept overnight stays, and leave before 10 am”. My fellow citizens, we should feel lucky to meet Chinese people in other countries. Foreigners respect us Chinese people, but Chinese people bully Chinese people instead. Then go to Macquarie, Australia to bypass this shop. The feeling of being insulted by foreign Chinese is really uncomfortable.
