Great size room for family. Room is a bit old style but clean. We are at the inner part of the building, it is very quiet and didn't hear noice from the road. Only thing I didn't expect is there were no milk for tea or coffee in the fridge. I think maybe the cleaning staff just forget.

This property is a small, quiet establishment with helpful, friendly staff. The room was spacious with a nice dining table and chairs and picture windows. The bathroom was not large but quite adequate. With a restaurant on site, it was very convenient.

Located at a busy intersection with heavy traffic passing. Noisy if window is not closed. (Unfortunately we were unaware that the housekeeping staff had left our window open the second night and we had a bad night sleep due to noise!) Good restaurant on site.

Hard to review this property as there’s nothing really wrong with it but also nothing that stands out. It’s a bit noisy as you’re on a busy roundabout but it’s comfy and spacious. Property could probably do with being renovated but there’s nothing actually wrong with it. That being said we looked at other properties in the area and this is probably one of the better ones

Would not recommend hotel - room a good size but bathroom very small with no surface space to put things on. Motel is right on roundabout and is tired and dated. Dehumidifying crystals in bedroom windows and black behind sink in bathroom. Lounge bar and restaurant looked ok but we did not eat or drink there.

This was one of the worst places we ever stayed in. 5 Fairlie is a run down old house with paint peeling off the walls, a 1950s bathroom with an original green pedestal sink with separate hot and cold taps, and the original green bath tub, and a continously running shower head. The bedrooms had no wardrobes. There was no coffee machine with pods (they just had instant coffee sachets). The toilet was located at the back of the house and there was no sink to wash your hands. To wash your hands you had to walk through the whole house to the 1950s bathroom. The washing machine was provided but no washing power, rendering the washing machine useless. The red couch you see in the photos has not been wiped since these photos were taken probably 20 years ago. It is filthy. At $340 per night, Commodore should be ashamed of themselves to offer such poor quality accommodation. I asked them for photos of the bedrooms and the bathroom, as there were none online and was told that they are online (which obviously they are not, as if they would have photos of the real conditon of this house, no one would ever book it. The only positives were the lovely receptionist, who provided outstanding customer service, the comfotable beds and the well vacuumed floors. I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone, unless you are getting it for an absolutely ridiculously cheap price, as it is worse than a backpackers.

The room was very well appointed and loved the fact the bathroom light and fan was a sensored system, as you approached the door the light and fan came on. Great for the visits in the dark, instead of having to fumble for switches.

The property is right next to a main road, it’s quite noisy at night. Got waken up a few times by the cars from the road and the people talking next door. There is no power point near the dinning table, you can only either boil the water inside the cabinet or in the toilet. Definitely not going to stay again.

We stayed only one night. The receptionist was efficient and welcoming. Car parking ok. The room and bathroom were clean and well appointed and with quality furniture and fittings. The restaurant/bar looked nice (we didn't have dinner there). We did opt for the inclusive breakfast (extra $10/person) in the restaurant. The staff in the restaurant were charming. We were encouraged to upgrade our breakfast options but we stuck with the inclusive - a good decision because the breakfasts were most generous in size. We would recommend this motel.

Overall we had a very pleasant stay-cay. The room was clean, warm and comfortable. The bathroom was in need of an update but there were possibly rooms with updated bathrooms for a higher price? The restaurant is the best in town. I would recommend the Commodore to other people.
