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. More

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. More

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! More

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... (World Cup Pool Matches) Management sorted out the SKY TV straight away, and didn't mind if I had a friend or two over to watch the game, so long... More

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

The guest who submitted the complaint 'Dirty Motor Inn' on 28 May, 2011 as 'Galavanting Around' appears to be one and the same guest who submitted an earlier complaint 'Worse motel ever' on 27 April, 2011 as 'Joe Somebody'. On 5 April, 2011 this guest made a reservation online for three nights and submitted his credit card details to guarantee... More

Well let see where do I start. We got in late due to traffic saw a note on the door saying go to room. No one even there to help out or even give us a key. When we got to our room I notice a weird smell which I dismissed do to rain that day. Then we started looking... More

We have stayed a night at Botany Motor Inn, the place is an average motor inn. The owner was helpful and kind with us. The room is small and averagely furnished. I think it was a bit over priced -didn't get the quality what I was expected for the money we have paid. More

I stayed at the Botany Motor Inn with 2 colleagues for the purpose of a conference in the local Botany area. On arrival we found the female owner to be very pleasant and helpful, she assisted us with parking and told us about a few local attractions. Later on we were helpfully provided with more milk (as we had used... More

The amenities were average to okay and this would be fine if the lady (owner/operator) made you feel less like an inconvience than a person who pays her way. She was most unhelpful and lacked knowledge when you asked her any questions. My husband helped another patron staying her with info on a rental car and we don't even live... More
