The reception person was the worst kind I've ever met or encountered. He was rude about the checkout time which I politely asked for extension and when the time was up the idiotic reception 'trash' came to knock on the door and demanded that we leave the room immediately and was disgustingly rude. And when I confronted him about his rudeness he started to shout and even 'swear' foul language in front of my children. This type of 'trash' shouldn't be working in customer service and he is a liability and big 'turn-off' to would-be customers. Please convey this message to the owner of the hotel to remove him ASAP before he ruined the business !!!

We had a great stay here, Check-in was smmoth and painless. Room was spacious and clean. Plenty of parking. 5 minutes from Bendigo Town Centre. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a pool and barbecue and a very good outdoor area. The motel represented very good value for money. We will stay here again.
