Great spot to stay, very clean, spacious room for the family. Friendly, helpful staff. Lots of parking. We had a trailer with us and they had space for us.

Run-down motel in a seedy area. Room reeked of smoke despite being labelled as non-smoking, there were stains on the sheets and we were bitten by bugs in bed at night. Photos in ad do not represent the actual motel. We were offered to change to a different room, but judging by the ashtrays outside every room such an exercise would have been been futile, and it was 10pm at night.

I know that recent floods have affected Kempsey, but the condition of the property was sub standard. The room was great, didn't see any staff. Was unable to have showers as their wasn't any hotwater. Very disappointing.

Dog friendly, clean, comfortable

Large room with ample accessories. While the hotel is old the rooms have been nicely renovated. We had a dog and there was a large grassed area available near the front of the hotel to give her some exercise.

Great value for money, dog friendly accommodation. Older style room with space for the bed, a sofa and a table and chairs. Equipment included a microwave, toaster, cutlery and plates etc so we were able to make our own breakfast. The person at checkin was great. Not far from town. We had Chinese from the place next door which was good.
