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.

The room was fine for an overnight stay. Even though we stayed in a twin room with an extra bed (so for 3 people), we were only provided 2 of every item which was a little irritating but bearable for us. For an overnight stay, this place did the job.

When we arrived the frontage had weeds growing and there was a sign that said that the office was closed today, but it was so weathered, I think it had been there every day for a year. After calling the number, a man came to the door 5 minutes later, and opened the door just enough to stretch his arm through and give us the key with out a word to say. The floor was only clean where you could see from a distance and down the side of the bed it was dirty and had cobwebs full of bugs. The soap dispenser in the bathroom had leaked out all over the vanity. The room listing brags a Spa Bath, but there was a note to say it didn't work. The freezer was so frosted over that the shelf was bulging down making it unusable. There was a hole in the sink draining board that had a plug that didn't cover the hole. The shelf in the kitchen cupboard was sagging down on an angle. The only draw in the room had the bottom all smashed in. The air conditioner had an isolating switch with a paper note that was stuck to the tiles with packaging tape, and we didn't use it as it was full of dust. There was a fan heater next to the bed, but it didn't work. After going out to dinner, we came back to share a bottle of wine around 8 pm but there was only one glass and when I called the number to see if they could give me another one, they told me it was too late. They tried to make it look presentable, but the standard of maintenance falls well short. Glad we only stayed 1 night. I would love to post photos

The tradies who use the Inn to stay o'night and go home the next day, didn't appear to give any consideration of others who were there for a relaxing, quiet holiday. There was too much noise/talking early mornings. The bed was comfortable but not enough utensils in the kitchen. I can't give it any more than 3 stars! Overall, disappointing. P.B.

the onsite staff could not speak English and had to ring through to someone who could. the hand basin was rusty and mouldy; the fridge hadn't been defrosted for ages and was all iced up and not very clean. the bins had mould in the bottom; and the whole place was in need of a decent makeover and clean up. i can provide photos if required.
