What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Wow, what a surprise this place was, i stay in Bendigo every so often and this was my first stay as i was looking for something a little cheaper. The price was fantastic for what I got! I believe i got a good deal through booking.com as im a regular user. The room was huge, clean and a good size bathroom. It had a rear private balcony and a front balcony area (i was level 2), it has ample parking and the TV was huge! Im used to small TV's at motels i stay at and this was the biggest by far, it had heaps of channels and I found a 24/7 he man channel which I enjoyed as i loved that as a kid. The location is a little more out of town but everything you need is close by. I really enjoyed the warm welcome i received when I checked in and they were very helpful. I was only stopping in for a short stay as I was fishing so left at 5am...so i cant really comment on things like road noise.... but it seemed OK, but next time id love to stay longer. Thankyou bendigo motor inn staff”
“Comfy bed, noise insulation not that great. Water pipes made irritating high pitched whistling noise when other guests were having a shower in the room above me. I could hear almost every word of conversation when guests were talking in the room next door, I felt like I needed to have music on low volume overnight to block out external noise, but maybe I am very sensitive to noise? Overall it was a good motel to get some rest after work. Aldi supermarket just down the road for snacks and microwave meals if you want to save money on eating out.”
“It’s my first stay at this facility. Front counter service was welcoming and efficient. My room (One of 32), was spotlessly clean and well equiped. The room cleaners do an excellent job. It’s positioned quietly back from the main highway with access to a large range of shops. A fair price range too. I’ll be back. 5 stars!”
“Very nice clean place. Would recommend. The staff were very kind and helpful. The place is really nice. Big spacious rooms. I requested a room on the ground floor they gave me a really big family room which was nice.”
