Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
First thing you need to know if not familiar with the area is that the Best Western Burnie aka Murchison Lodge is not in Burnie CBD it's in a smaller town adjacent to Burnie called Somerset it has virtually become another suburb of Burnie. So you won't be in a position to take a short walk to Burnie cinema, the shopping centre or beach front dining, Burnie CBD is a short drive away though.
BUT you are in a lovely spot opposite the River Cam, the beach is nearby and the shopping area in is Somerset is great, nice new IGA store, restaurants/takeaways, bakers it's all there and a bicycle shop too, so if you're heading down to the west coast mountain bike trails this is very handy.
Booked a standard queen bed room which was bright, tidy and average in size the bathroom was a bit dated but everything fully functional. Our room was on the ground floor, although there were other guests I don't think we had anyone staying above us on the first floor so can't comment on any noise issues.
If looking on a map you'll see the motel is set back on a side road of a main though road, don't let this put you off booking, slept very well, no road noise disturbance here.
Very nicely presented grounds with a garden area and nicely landscaped areas in front of rooms.
We were staying during a bit of a cold spell and the room didn't have an air conditioner for some quick heating but there was an electric panel heater on the wall which we kept on low and it took the edge off the rooms coolness.
Restaurant on site 'The Jetty" made dining easy even though there are other options in Somerset (see separate review).
Staff met during stay very friendly and helpful.

We stayed two nights, recently, it was exceptional value the housekeeping team do a wonderful job as it was spotless. The location right on the river gives a real holiday feel & over the road a great walking track along the coastline. There were two stunning magnolia trees just in flower in the courtyard, one right outside our room which added to the ambience of our stay. Thank you we will be back someday.

Our stay was on a festival weekend when the accomm was totally booked out and fully tested. None-the-less the staff were very helpful, the rooms warm and comfortable, and the cleaning superb. Rarely have we seen such sparkling bathrooms. There are large, comfortable beds with extra pillows, excellent wi-fi, tea & coffee supplies, and a micro-wave. Fully marked parking bays would be an improvement, and the hot water supply is perhaps geared to average occupancy rather than peak load. Guests should also be aware that the steepish 15 steps up to the upper level might be challenging for those with mobility issues if ground floor rooms are unavailable. However, the garden area is charming and there is a pleasant riverside park adjacent. Our room was remarkably quite even with the motel totally full, and did I mention...... the staff excellent. Best Western Burnie is getting a tad old and dated, but for a mid level, good value option, we would recommend it and stay there again when we are next in the North West.

Came through here last minute and what a fantastic find. Hospitality here is second to none and they were more than willing to go out of their way to make sure all my needs were met. The rooms are large with comfortable beds and very clean. They also have a fantastic restaurant attached to this establishment which also serves of great food.

Great place with good accommodation for a reasonable rate. Hotel was closer to the main road and did not have to travel far from the town. The staff was very helpful. Very clean and tidy room. I recommend the place for any person who is visiting Burnie for business work to stay in this hotel.

I had made them aware in the booking that I have a service dog, and I could email her credentials if they wanted them. The next day I got a call from them saying that they don’t have any pet friendly rooms, I explained that my service dog goes in the room we choose. He didn’t understand what a service dog meant, and kept repeating that the rooms are not pet friendly, I explained again and he said he will call his manager and ask. I chose to cancel, and sent the the hotel the protocol, procedures and the law for service dogs and suggested that they should educate the management and staff about what a service dog is and what rights they have.

The manager was short staffed on the day we were there. He impressed us by turning up in all capacities, from waiting at table in the restaurant to serving breakfast in the morning to managing the counter for arrivals and departures. I was impressed by his commitment to his customers.

We rang front of house at 8.30 the night before looking for accomodation as ours had fallen through. Even though they did not have a four bed room available they did us a deal when I informed them of out circumstances. Thanks so much.

Very impressed. The room was exceptionably clean. The staff had put the heater on for my arrival (believe me some don’t). A electric blanket was a bonus!! Very sweet location by a river only 10 mins to Burnie. Proper milk for tea/coffee. I enjoyed my evening meal and was given a takeaway container for the extra I couldn’t eat. Waitress in restaurant was so nice. I really hope I get to stay here again.
