I feel Wotif need to remove this listing. Its a grubby, smelly shabby place. No plates, no teaspoons, cups filthy, hair on bathroom floor. Cracked window taped up. Reception was a cell phone put on desk for us to talk to someone. Key handed over and that was it. Couldnt get hold of anyone to lodge a complaint with. It looks nothing like the website photos nor write up.

It was extremely disappointing to find that there was absolutely no hot water to come out of the shower head. Plenty of cold water, but not a single drop of hot water.

Convenient location, needs a fresh look

Convenient motel looking a bit aged. Could do with a sprucing up. Room was OK but quite aged. Bathroom was renovated and quite nice. Was fine for my needs.

A let down for Lorne. No one present at reception, required to call to get the key, not welcoming at all, zero hospitality skills and then proceeded to point in a direction indicating your room…to walking into the room, definitely a jaw drop. Almost felt like walking out. Bed linen was clean with old blankets, noticed bed had no mattress protector, blinds had freyed edges everything is old. Coffee n biscuits out of date. Bathroom tile grout not cleaned properly…showing signs of some mould spots. shower screen frame rusty, tiles missing on vanity kicker. Don’t even know when carpet steam cleaned. Certainly a stale smell upon walking in n had to used AC to freshen room. Location was good tho. Outside looks abandoned. Pics certainly to not resemble current inside n out. I know price is cheap and served it purpose but doesn’t reflect what you’re actually paying for. Would not be recommending this accomodation shouldn’t even be a listing.

That dirty that one thought that Covid would be lurking about - it appeared that long since it was cleaned. An embarrassment to the term “Motel” An embarrassment to the town of Lorne and surely an embarrassment to WatIf!!!! I can’t understand why you would have this place listed on the WotIf site!!!!!

Excellent location. Check in was a bit funny as it is unstaffed and you have to call a number once you arrive. Basic accomodation, but for a better price than most places in Lorne.

Bed was very comfortable, room was very dusty and run down. Lady at front desk was lovely, tried to help us when the Foxtel didn’t work but didn’t end up solving the problem and blamed Foxtel. Bathroom was gross and shower had terrible pressure. Spent the night killing flying ant type bugs. Lucky it was only 1 night, definitely not worth what we paid.
