Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.

Checked review from 'Budget' guide, viewed website, looked decent and affordable.

Affordable is the nicest thing I can say about my experience.

The location is difficult to find - in the dark as there were no lights or signs. The rooms were dated - to the mid 60s! New tv with Austar which was nice, if only it worked! A thorough clean would be good - dust you can drag your finger through is not acceptable! Don't even ask about the plumbing!

The upside: hot water and nice owners. But not nice enough to ever recommend!

We stayed overnight while in town for a wedding. The staff were very friendly and helpful - which I really appreciated. The room was extremely basic - I guess for $70 a night that is somewhat expected but even for a budget place I was a bit surprised at what we got for our money. The room itself featured a smallish queen sized bed, bar fridge and a telly - thats about it. The bathroom also small had the basic amenities.

My major gripe was with the bed, which as I noted was small for a Queen - and it was as hard as a rock. I'm not kidding, it was about the hardest bed I've ever attempted to sleep on. So unless you like sleeping on the floor at home, beware!

Other things to be aware of - it is literally on the freeway, we were in a room towards the back of the motel and the trucks etc were still very noisy. The walls are paper thin and you'd better hope your next door neighbour doesn't like late nights and loud TV. The carpark is very tight. Our heater didn't work, I didn't bother complaining. Also be aware the clientele of this establishment included some rather seedy and scary types - hardly the motel's fault on that - but just an FYI. And finally, we were fairly sure we could hear rats scratching inside the walls - ewww.

Overall, I wouldn't stay here again as the room was just too cheap and nasty for me - I'd pay the extra $20 and stay somewhere a bit nicer.

We stayed at this place only one night. We came pretty late and the guy at the office still waited for us, so that was a plus. When we came into our room we noticed that the blanket was undefined dirty and had old dirty spots on it. There were a lot of black hairs, long and short. And both my girlfriend and me are blond. The floor was sandy and not clean. It was one of the cold nights this February (only 12 degrees for the night) but we really didn't want to use the blanket, so we could only cover us with this thin cold blanket.
The shower wasn't top neither, because you had to hold the shower head, which actually should be mounted tight on the wall.
We were happy that we only stayed 1 night, we had much better places for the same price before.

Stayed at the Southern Right Motor Inn after a day trip down the Great Ocean Road with my fiancee. Didn't expect much, as we were looking to stay somewhere cheap in a city I knew reasonably well, and weren't disappointed. Bed was clean and comfortable, shower had good pressure - all we were looking for in a basic overnight stay. Would stay here again

The Southern Right Motor Inn is bright, modern, comfortable and great value. The perfect place to stay. Andrew and Mary couldn't have done more for us. I have no hesitation recommending it to anyone."

hi there me and my partner recently stayed and while this motel may not be as modern as some we were happy with our room and customer service too.

Yes I understand that some of the other recent comments are not great and these could had been easily fixed, like replacing a light glove etc. If I had a faulty globe I would let the staff know things happen.

We will stay again thank you

Having booked for the long week-end later than we should have we were forced to take whatever was available in Warrnambool and Southern Right was the only one we could find after hours of searching.

All that was left were "Family Rooms" which could sleep 4 and we paid the higher price for this. However, even though the room could sleep more it was certainly not worth the $270 per night we paid.

What others have said about the rooms is correct. Ours was dirty, had awful old furniture and beds with smelly sheets. The rug was threadbare and stained in numerous locations. We chose not to remove our footwear even in the shower. I won't go into any further detail as I'm sure you get the point.

I've stayed in hostels in SE Asia and Eastern Europe for a fraction of the cost which were cleaner.

I strongly urge you to not stay here unless you have absolutely no other choice.

Booked to stay here on the long weekend and confirmed our booking 7 days prior to our arrival. 1 hour before we are scheduled to arrive at the motel we are told that someone cancelled our booking!!! Every other motel/hotel/ B&B is booked out in the area and now we have to sleep in our car for the night. This place should not be in business!!!!!!!!! Do not stay here!!!

I find myself disagreeing with others who have given this motel very low ratings...

My wife and I were on an unplanned visit to the Great Ocean Road and Warrnambool was our choice for the first night.

We found the Southern Right Motor Inn on-line and gave them a ring. A friendly young man advised us that he had a room available at just $95 and we accepted it sight unseen.

On our arrival, this same young man was quite happy to offer advice as to where to eat etc etc.

The room itself was very clean with crisp, white bedlinen inviting us to a restful night.

It is true that there were some minor repairs that should have been done (window catches broken, a little touch-up on the paintwork here and there) but on the whole we were well satisfied to find such accommodation in the height of the season.
