Tired hotel which is no longer part of best western and one can see why. Very very noisy if you are on side next to the road. We thought the traffic was coming into our room. Cigarette butts littering patio areas. Overall...dreadful and to be avoided. More

We stayed one night and were very impressed by the quality of service, both at check-in and in the restaurant. This motel is located only a shot walk to the main centre of town and although it is near the main road we did not experience any undue road noise. Although the motel is showing it's age and could do... More

The variances in room quality of BW properties is enormous - some very good - unfortunately some very bad. Still charge a premium price though. The one I'm at now is one of the very bad ones (Reef Motor Inn, Batemans Bay), problems are:- Room smells disgusting, has not been vacuumed (lots of crumbs, lint etc), old carpet with stains,...

As the title suggests, don't be fooled by star ratings and fancy website pictures.. what you see is not what you get. After my stay, I rate this place 2 stars not 3-4 and you pay $130 a night for a single. The rooms have never been updated (they still have single flush toilets), the carpet was greasy and filthy,...

A very average budget motel. The room was very drab and unexciting but clean, not really up to the usual Best Western standards. It gave the impression just doing enough to get by and not making any effort to add any extras. The one saving grace was it did provide a reasonable free WiFi service. Good location close to shops...

We chose this Motel over others in the area as it had a pool. We checked in around 7.30pm and when reading the compendium in the room it stated that the pool was open until 10pm. After a 5 hour drive we were really looking forward to a refreshing swim so we got changed and our very excited 3 year... More

So it was with a little trepidation that I opted to stay here. The reviews weren't great but to be honest I've tried a few accommodation options in the Bay now and most have been less than average so I did not hold much hope. HOWEVER I was to be proved wrong by the reef. The staff were friendly and... More

I have traveled extensively and have not found a restaurant that comes close to this one. The staff are great and the service is outstanding. The food here is easily the best I have had. I have been here for business trips with fellow workers and all have said the same thing. My rooms have always been clean and tidy... More

The room was really overpriced and was advertised as an executive room when in reality it was a standard room. I really felt like we had been "ripped off" from the word go. We only stayed one night of the long weekend and I had a preconceived notion that accomodation would be hard to get. We booked on line and... More

Never again.....we booked this room online and before booking we confirmed with the hotel that we could have 4 people in a twin Queen room. Upon booking online the best western website would not allow you to select 4 people and so I rang the hotel asked the lady from the hotel to match visa discount price she couldnt and... More
