Detailed Reviews
Very friendly welcome.
The room was of a good size, containing a large comfortable bed, along with table and chairs enabling work to be conducted.
The bathroom was the only area where washing items used for eating/drinking could be washed.
Cold water pressure was considerable, making for adjustment of hot water (which took some time to arrive) an act of finessing to achieve an acceptable shower temperature. Guests were, however, treated to a wonderful array of complimentary toiletries.
Well located close to the main shopping centre.

Two of us stayed here last Saturday night arriving around 6.45pm. We picked up our key from the lock box having received a code to get the key by an sms message. Reception closes at 6pm.
Our room, a twin was very clean,(always a big bonus for me) had a great shower and a spa bath as well as a toaster and tea and coffee and biscuits provided. Also a small microwave oven. the air con was not as good as I would have liked , a bit old and struggled to cool our room down but it was a very humid day and night.
The motel is neat and tidy and a few blocks from the main street. Its walkable but it was raining so we drove to find something to eat.
The motel is not noisy and parking is outside the door of your unit.
Our beds were clean and very comfortable.
I would stay again- quite impressed how clean it was .

I have used this place multiple times when visiting Bega for work related matters. The customer service here is very good, rooms clean and well equipped. They remember you from visit to visit and your preferences. There are rooms upstairs or downstairs and no lift.
Beds are comfortable.
Road noise is not an issue as the hotel is located centrally in the town and it’s very quiet after hours in Bega
They will deliver breakfast to your room via a 2 way hutch or you can purchase a breakfast pack from reception to serve yourself They serve meals on site Mon to Sat and the meals there are really good with a chef who will have a bit of a chat!
A pleasant, comfortable and easy place to stay.

I was given a room with yellow - NOT WHITE - yellow dirty towels, that's correct, dirty towels, used dirty sheets on the bed. PIGS.
We just can not trust this mob, no one gives a dam about you, don't use the glasses I bet you the cleaner washes then with the same rubber gloves she uses to clean the toilets.

I want to preface this review noting that I have been a field sales rep for 15 years and have travelled all over regional NSW. I know what to expect when staying at a country motel.
This motel is VERY run down. Rusted chairs, rattling air conditioner, restaurant closed down, staff sitting around smoking out the front of the rooms.
However the reason for my review is the fact I left with bed bug bites all over my body and when I notified the owner the following day, they basically called me a liar and said I must have had an allergic reaction to something.
Such an unprofessional way to deal with a with a customer.
Accommodation is sparse in Bega, however, I highly recommend driving a bit further to stay anywhere but here.

Hi Jessica9199, Thank you for your review - I apologise profusely for such a delayed response. Bega Downs Motor Inn is now under new ownership and has implemented new cleaning and safety procedures for guests so things like this will never happen again. I understand that you wrote this review quite some time ago but we hope you will try us again next time you're in Bega.

This motel is a little dated, but very clean & presents very well. On arriving, reception was very pleasant & we were allowed to check in early as we had an appointment in town to attend and didn’t want our things to be in the way of staff. We had a quiet room, close to the lovely Cibo restaurant.

The room was larger than we expected. The bathroom was newly renovated, and everything was as expected. The only real trouble we had was with the TV. Reception was intermittent; sometimes we lost the picture, sometimes we sound, and sometimes we lost both. The remote often didn't work, and we had to use the buttons on the side of the TV. But otherwise we were happy with our stay.

Great base for exploring the sapphire coast! Easy short drive to many many beaches as well as countryside- best of both world holidays. Large rooms with microwave and fridge. Comfy beds , quiet area with friendly helpful hosts . Great country style breakfast served to your room through the meal box of yester-year.
