Old and Dirty
The motel is very old and lacks maintenance, our room had paint peeling from bathroom ceiling, stains over bin , bed head and light switches. The shower was filthy with mould and grime all over tiles, it was an unpleasant stay in a dirty room. The only positive for the motel is location close to cafes and restaurants , however noise from semi trailers is quite loud

The motel was in a good location, close to town. As an overnight stay the motel met our requirements. Clean and comfortable.

Great value and location
Great value! Great location and very walkable to all tourist spots. Quick and efficient check in. Wonderful to have microwave, kettle, toaster, crockery and cutlery so that can self cater. Delicious welcome biscuits. Quiet and comfortable stay.

These rooms are small and basic, but have a simple retro vibe I kinda love. The owner is lovely, and it’s the PETER ALLEN MOTEL. They have PETER ALLEN SHIRTS for sale. Like, you could stay somewhere else but why would you?

The owner was lovely and very accomodating. We were a very late check in and it wasnt a problem. The room was very clean and tidy. Perfect for what we needed. A quick stop over for the night. The bed was good too 😊😊

As we were only travelling through town, we required a clean, quiet, comfortable and well appointed room at a reasonable price. The Peter Allen motel certainly impressed. Thank you to the management.

Just time for a proper refit - different coloured tiles in bathroom with choice of paint colour do it NO justice. We find if the Shower is in good condition generally everything else is also, yet here the shower needs to be redone for travellers like us looking for reasonable Clean & Tidy bed to sleep. The bedspread has stains on it so not a good feeling to start with, then had to figure out the power point to plug the TV into - as we couldn't reach to roof point where it should have been. Sad to see places this poor just trying to stay afloat but its not fair on people paying to stay doing county trips to spend in towns - then they don't feel like coming back!

We understand the Motor Inn is by no means new, but looks very tired and unloved. Unkempt gardens, broken lighting fixtures within our room, very noisy air conditioning unit, were some things. A lick of paint and some bright newer furnishings would even help.
The gentleman who booked us in was great and a seamless process.
It was clean and comfortable and well located. The property could do with a bit more love but otherwise it was a good place to stay

Nothing flashy - but convenient and suitable for my needs. Room (# 2) lacked sufficient GPOs (points for electric plugs) with equipment having to be unplugged to use something else. One of the liquid dispensers in the shower had come away from the wall and needs to be fixed back on again.
