“Great value short stay”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

We stayed here so we could experience Port Arthur to its fullest. If we hadn't booked our entrance to the site, ghost tour or dinner we could've done so through the office. This establishment is a small, seemingly family run business. The rooms were outdated, but for the price we were quite satisfied with our room right on the outside... More

“Comfortable, cosy rooms, excellent location”

Reviewed 2 May 2013

I liked this hotel at lot. My partner and I came to Port Arthur for a ghost tour, and this hotel was the perfect choice as it borders the historic site. Our room key opened the back gate to the historic site. Our room was very cosy, and clean. The bed was really comfortable, and even had a heating blanket.... More

“Improving by the day.”

Excellent location for visiting the historic Port Arthur prison site accessible via gate using room key. Spent two nights during which time new owners took over. Breakfast changed from continental only to added option of cooked breakfast. Fresh fruit instead of tinned was the next upgrade .The new owners seem to have a list of things to do so expect... More

“Don't expect too much”

Reviewed 11 April 2013

We chose the motor inn because it is on site at Port Arthur. It was also very competitively priced. Also had dinner in the restaurant. Overall location is terrific, Rommel very small and basic but did job for one night - but the food was ordinary to say the least. Shame as view is terrific but unless the new owners... More

“Great location”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

Great location. Rooms small, basic but clean. Bed comfortable. Towels need replacing but were clean. Place looks a bit tired and needs some renovations. Fabulous views over the site. Meals at restaurant basic I had steak which was tough and overcooked so they us a free dessert. No ghosts encountered.

Thank you for your very fair review of our hotel. We are always most grateful to guests who will leave comments for us to see. Some renovations are occurring over winter, so hopefully less tired for next season. I am so sorry about your steak, that is most unusual, as if you read other reviews the food is always really...

“Ghosts.. Where ??”

Reviewed 26 March 2013

Had a one night stay here with Dinner, Breakfast and Ghost tour package. Our room overlooked the Port Arthur Convict Site. Although small the room was clean and comfortable. The Meals were standard fare, well prepared and tasty. We combated a bus tour group during our dinner and found that service to our table dropped considerably after they were seated.... More

Many thanks for your review, it sounds as though you enjoyed Port Arthur & the Ghost Tour Package, thanks for taking the time to review us, and to give your feedback. I take it you did not find any ghosts? Yours sincerely Marcus More

We booked a package including dinner, ghost tour, 1 night accom and breakfast. Great value.The bar was a bit grubby and smelled funny. Great view and great food in the spacious, old dining room. Basic continental breakfast. Excellent location- short walk to the Historical Site (ghost tour). Room was clean and basic with a nice view. The bathroom was clean... More

Thanks so much for your review, I was pleased to read it. We aim to be basic and clean. The location is terrific isn't it? The bar as you mentioned needs work, painting and new carpet in the week after easter - so it should improve very shortly - can't wait. Glad you enjoyed the dining room, the food is... More

“"Most Convenient"”

This place was a very pleasant surprise! I normally do my own accommodation research, but had my booking made for me thought Hobart Visitor Centre. On arrival, my husband & I were very happy to note that this property actually forms part of the boundary of the Port Arthur Historic Site & our room key unlocked the gate. Our room... More

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are very glad the Visitor Centre in Hobart sent you to us. Our position is wonderful isn't it?

My husband and I recently stayed 2 nights at the Port Arhtur Motor Inn, although the location to the historical site was great this was all the Inn had going for it. When we walked into our room the first thing I saw was a shower full of black long hairs and towels that looked like something you would use... More

Whilst it is hard to read your review, you gave us your opinion when you stayed with us, so this is no surprise. Since your stay we have shaken up our cleanliness in a big way, you came just after we had opened after being closed for 15 days with the fires, we were certainly not at our best. Lets... More
