The staff were friendly but I also found the climbing up and down the stairs all the time tedious especially with luggage. I also found the room to be clean, the bathroom was small but I slept fine. I would not go again as there are better places on offer for the price. More

we stayed at the El Paso for one night. We chose it because it was close to the centre of town. The room on the lower floor was a typical motel room but it was clean and tidy and quiet (which we didn't think it would be on a Saturday night). We had breakfast in the restaurant which was reasonably... More

It's really a case of there's no where else to go then ok, but negotiate the price. I found the owners to be very nice, though one other lady working on the desk Abrasive. We were put on the top floor as I wanted to be as far away from street leval, as possible, but there's no lifts and the... More

Thank you for a constructive review Vangeinternational. As you say, there is no lift and the two flights of stairs to the top floor are a bit of a chore, so we try to put our younger fitter customers there. There is all weather access from the basement, but this does entail an extra flight of stairs. you will be... More

Three star on the outside and one star on the inside. Manager quoted $120 with NRMA/RACQ discount but found on the internet afterwards the price was quoted at $95-00 per night. It is a $60 room and I am being generous. Managers and inferior motels like this give the industry a bad name. No wonder many tourists go overseas now.... More

Dell Toowoomba was given the standard Macquarie Room he requested at a $9 discount. The cheaper room he refers to is a lower standard Port Room for $99 - not $95. He advised on check-in that he had been a motel owner a long time ago, and I suspect his pricing is 20 years out of date. The price he... More

The place is very old and smelt very wierd. It also smelt extremely dusty, like it had not been cleaned for a long time. Will not visit this Inn again. More

Hopefully our extensive refurbishment programme will help overcome the "weird and dusty smell", which is a curious comment in view of the fact that we are consistently praised for the high standards of cleanliness. I will look into it further, but while I can probably do something about "dusty", I'm not sure I'll be able to much about "weird" More

The food was very good at both breakfast and dinner. Service was very good too. A great location in a lovely area of NSW... More

We stayed here for 2 nights. Reception was friendly & helpful. The room was a little small to accommodate 6, basically 1 whole room with a double bed, 1 bunk & 1 sofa bed. No cot was supplied as requested but we wouldn't have been able to fit it in anyway. Was clean & comfortable in a really nice location... More

We generally don't recommend more than 5 in a Hastings Room so the Brookes6 would have been really crowded with 6 persons. The Port Family Suite with 2 queens, 2 singles and room for a cot would have been a cost effective alternative (even with our school holiday special of 2 kids staying for free), but this suite may not...
