Have stayed at this motel for business several times over the last few years. The new owners/operators were friendly, warm and nothing was too much trouble for them when asked questions relating to dining out and local entertainment.Highly recommended.

We did not stay. We called in off the road and asked what rooms were available for the night. We then asked to view a room. We were given a key and told to go upstairs and have a look for ourselves. The room was tired, dated and in need of TLC, it was clean but the sunfilters were tatty... More

This is a very well run motel with friendly staff. The rooms are modern and very clean with no lingering 'motel cleaning' smells. We stayed a Thursday and Friday night. The only down side is adjacent to a 4 lane highway and traffic noise is a distraction at all hours.

Clean and tidy motel in good location within walking distance to Botany Downs shops. The hosts were very welcoming and happy to help out in any way. Rooms had just about everything you need, although would be nice to have electric blankets on the beds.

Recently stayed at the Botany Motor Inn. Rooms were clean and tidy and had everything I needed. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Good location, and easy walking distance to the shops. Loved the cat wandering around, made the place feel like a home away from home! Will be recommending it as a place to stay.

This is a great motel, the room is very nice, it has a kitchen with everything available and a nice shower. The shops are only 15 minutes walking away. The people were very nice and helped us with getting carriers for our bikes and told us about all kind of places we could go. Concluded this was a great stay!

We recently spent seven nights at the Botany motel, and quite frankly , we couldn't fault it. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the hosts were friendly and very welcoming. Our room was cleaned on a daily basis and restocked with all the necessities. Slept like a newborn (no earthquakes!!!) Great location, within walking distance to Botany town. We will... More

Had a weekend break away as landlord was hosting a party at home, and all I wanted to do was sit back with a beer or three and watch the Rugby...

I have stayed at backpackers that have a much higher level of cleanliness than this motor inn. I was hugely disappointed with the general lack of hygiene - not what I would expect when room prices start at $140 per night!!! What were we paying for, obviously not for the room to be cleaned after whoever had stayed there before... More
