Nice & convenient location in the centre of the town. The rooms are spacious & clean & the shower was good. One big downfall is the parking for the rooms 103 & up. The ramp to the right hand side of the lot near the pool, You have to drive up the ramp & park up the top. There is no room to turn around & parking was very hard, everyone had to REVERSE Up an angled ramp to park & still do 4 point turns to try & park properly. Not practical & also very dangerous.

It has been totally renovated since I was there last. Having the lift is a real bonus when you have luggage to carry. Definitely will stay again.

Great little motel in the heart of the Port Macquarie CBD. Fast easy and friendly check in. Rooms are adequately equipped and a recent refurbishment makes rooms very pleasing. This is our 2nd stay here in 12 months, would recommend to anyone visiting, or to locals wanting to stay in town for an event or show.

I don't think I will come back..
I stayed in this hotel last year, but this time i decided I need to let other people know what to expect while staying there. Let me start with things I liked: good TV, clean, good location, good service. And now the rest. First off, I have no idea who decided to have a bathroom window that can't be closed!! It was +10 when I was there and going to the bathroom or having shower at night was amazing!! Some genius designed it! Then before 10am drilling started, can't even sleep in.. I was so excited when I saw pork ribs on the menu - I wish I didn't order them, they were terrible, fatty, sauce was hardly edible. For $34 they could go to Woolies and buy $5 American smokey bbq sauce that would have been much better. This was runny, watered down and very disappointing. The best part of the dish was the salad, fresh.. wow! And then the fire alarms: in two days two alarms, one at 4.30am blaring for a long time. Not even sorry from management, just "get back to your rooms, false alarm". Great, try to sleep after and drive back 400kms tired.And then the birds chirping, that was another great edition to the whole stay. It was so loud, what made it worse- bathroom window that can't be closed.. Also just FYI, do not expect any plates (at all) or cutlery in your room. I ordered takeaway Thai, they forgot to give me cutlery, had to use a teaspoon and eat from palstic container..

Loved how friendly and helpful the staff were. They offered free cancellation due to our event being postponed, which is incredibly generous after a storm had compromised the area and impacted the Motor Inn as well. We will be back.
