4/10 Fair

Good location, easy to get to everywhere. Room was not properly cleaned with bugs in the light fittings, dust build up on edges of carpets in bedrooms, dirt and food scraps under the furniture, only one tea bag for a family of four over night, fridge/freezer needed defrosting, bathroom had an old peeling toilet seat, basin tap was wobbly and sprayed water from the side of the tap, stained sink, broken floor tiles and grout missing out of the shower. For $217 for the night, I expect it to be cleaned properly at the very least. For a family studio aswell, it only had a little two seater couch. Restaurant only available during the week, room service over weekends pointless booking there for the extras, restaurant closed, pool area very plain and uninviting. Not worth the extra money spent.

Probably what you would expect, simple room, bathroom ok. Blackwater not really a place to visit unless you need to. Nothing great nearby for food.

Clean, Comfortable and Quiet.
The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Perfect for a quick stop in before a long day at work the next day. The staff are friendly and super helpful. I won’t hesitate to stay here again next time I’m in Blackwater.

Information needs to be updated across all websites to reflect current services. Restaurant is permanently closed and there is no buffet breakfast available but they are still listed as features. This is very misleading as is a deciding factor when comparing motels. Reception hours also differ from those advertised. Staff were very friendly. Quite noisey with workers drinking and gathering outside rooms.
