The motel room was clearly old, but clean. The worst part was the bed - very uncomfortable due to severe sinking in the middle. Walls are thin so could hear conversation and tv from the next room.

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

Location was great as it was very close to Launceston town centre. The accommodation is way over priced. Our bathroom smelt like sewerage and the shower water didnt drain. The lounge couch was terribly worn and extremely uncomfortable. The 2 chairs were covered in stains. This hotel needs demolishing or a radical renovation. Would not recommend.

The room was old. Old can be great, but this room had a dirty floor, curtains in poor condition and off the track. The shower floor was rough and hard to stand on. The TV remote kept losing the battery cover every time you picked it up - small thing but very annoying. The sheets must have been bleached or something as we itched all night. There were only two pillows. No towels in the room - I had to go and ask and was told they were being washed and dried, eventually they were delivered. Very limited utensils - one glass, one cup i knife, 1 fork 1 bowl (no spoon) and when I went back to ask for more reception closed and I was not able to raise anyone even though it was only late afternoon. Probably a good idea to find somewhere else to stay, although this was just out experience. We couldn't get out of there quick enough.

Dated and dirty. I wish I’d read the reviews before booking. The room was very old and not clean at all. The beds were made but when the kids hopped in, there was sand/tiny pebbles through the bed. We had to wear shoes inside because my children’s feet were black from the grime off the floor. The pool area was filthy and there was mould on the floor. I hope the owners invest in revamping and cleaning the property as it could be somewhere that has so much potential. All in all, I spent the whole night wishing I’d spent the extra $50 and stayed at the grand chancellor!

Quiet location. Unfortunately, the washbasin and shower was not draining properly and the toilet area was smelly. The toaster did not work either.

Restaurant was closed and no food available. No room service either. Had to ask for towels to be changed each and that didn’t happen sometimes. Bins not emptied in room for a number of days. Room was clean although the fridge seals could use a good going over and the bathroom sink. Room was tired and dated but bedding clean and extra pillows provided when asked. Pool was working and ok but very small.
