Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very noisy room.
Not for light sleepers. The lovely old wooden floors are not so lovely when you can hear the neighbours walking around. Walls are not soundproofed, so we could hear both the TV and the conversations of our neighbours. To add to the noise issues, masses of white cockatoos nested in a nearby tree and made noise until almost midnight when something/someone scared them off. $174 seems like a lot to pay for this motel. We ended up leaving after only one night and losing $174 for our second booked night because we slept so poorly. The little complimentary milk carton dripped a bit on the floor and a wipe with a bit of wet toilet paper came back black. I am almost certain the the queen bed is actually a double bed, we have never slept in a queen bed that was so small. Finally, for the record, I did chat to Bella about these issues. Fortunately, our next night was at the Novotel Perth, similar price but worlds apart with value for money.

Hi Lyn, thank you for your review. We have considered your feedback about the floors and walls for our future renovations and forward your feedback to our renovation team. The white cockatoos/flocking birds, the Busselton shire have actioned a plan/program to keep these birds away from the town and still planning a solution for this issue. If you book directly with us it will always be cheaper than going through a booking agent, we will always be roughly 20-30 cheaper. With the price of your accommodation you did stay during school holiday period which all prices in Busselton are increased due to being a busy school holiday season. Regarding with you reservation if you choose to leave earlier than your check out date that is your choice which is in our terms and conditions and the company you have booked through that if you choose to leave earlier than your designated check out date there is no refunds. We priorities in our cleanliness as this is very important to us as a motel. We have never had problems with the floor before. We vacuum and mop our rooms every time someone checks out and we always have clean and fresh mop bucket for each room. If you had this problem, you should of came to reception straight away and this problem would of been solved. Our queen rooms have queen beds, which we buy from a bedding supplier, I can confirm they are Queen beds only in the queen rooms. We are a MOTEL in the country, you cannot compare us to a HOTEL in the city as they are in two completely different environments and offer different services. Therefore this comment about the hotel in Perth is not relevant. Thanks for your feedback we asked other guest if there was problems with the birds and other issues you have suggested/experienced and didnt have an issue that night with what you have suggested/experienced. Most of your issues are really not consistent with the experiences of other guests. The phone call you had with myself was straight forward and I answered all your questions/issues you had. Thanks.

This place is old-school and I was a bit nervous when I drove up to the property. But then I went to my room. The room was nice - simple, but nice. Best of all, it felt like it was cared for and loved. Don't get that very often! Staff was polite and helpful. I'd stay there again - its in the centre of town.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Limited services or service. Bed was best part of unit. Floors were not overly clean and floor in bathroom/ toilet tiles obviously mopped where you could see. Behind toilet door dirty to be kind. Dry rot/hole in door frame in bathroom. Also expected to wash up any utensils used and put back where taken. Not exactly hygienic practice as no control over. Also road noise from road.

Hello Damian, We are very sorry to hear about your experience at our motel, but we thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Could you message us privately to expand on limited services or service as we prioritise in our guest first! Our cleanliness is so important to us as a motel and your issue about the cleaning/floors are not consistent with the experience of other guest as we prioritise in cleaning especially with our Covid 19 procedures to make sure everything is hygienic and cleaned. We ask of you to wash up any dishes that you’ve had use due to the smells left in rooms and to be hygienic overall. We have new owners to the motel who are starting renovations to the motel, not everything is going to be perfect all the time… Also due to noise from road, that is something we do not have control over. Most of these issues are not uncommon in a motel. Thanks for your review though, I hope these answers covered your issues. Thanks

Property was clean and sufficient for a quick overnight stay. Staff were friendly. Unfortunately we felt quite unsafe due to two seperate incidence of a man yelling and screaming out the back of the accommodation followed a short time later by a man and a woman yelling aggressively on the verandah of a room a few doors up trying to enter a room. Staying by myself with a child this was quite alarming. Not the fault of the accommodation or staff but was quite scary for my child and I
