The Village Family Motor Inn is the worst commercial accommodation I have ever stayed in in Australia. I advise you to never book this place.
I’ll explain: imagine if you can a 1970s facility that has been used solidly for 50 plus years but NEVER renovated. The ancient cabinets (homemade?) and period bathroom attest to this.
Even more troubling were the filthy bed base and fridge seals.
The mattress was totally collapsed internally and should have been replaced a decade or more ago.
The front window winder was broken - as was the fly screen- the result being an airless stuffy room.
Why did we stay? Well we arrived on a late flight into Launceston. Consequently we had little choice after opening the room door for the first time at 11:00pm. We paid a heavy price with a sleepless night due neighbour-noise the paper thin walls and the backbreaking mattress. In the morning we both need a chiropractor (this is not a joke).
Communications: Prior to arrival I had to contact the manage on 4 occasions (to calls and two remained txts) in order to confirm late entry procedure.
I STRONGLY advise to never to stay here under any circumstances. I suspect the ‘capital’ invested in the property has been so over-exploited that renovation to a modern standard is pointless. I also suggest that the Environmental Health Officers at Launceston C.C. should undertake the role they are employed for through regular inspections, Show Cause and Improvement notices and prosecution
