Cheap,Clean but average in every way

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 Mar 2015
Last minute decision to go and all the regulars fully booked.at 125 a night cheap clean and comfortable but not much else's going for it.better than others in Bendigo of a similar price but at the end of the day you get what you pay for.
70s motel overdue for some work. Small rooms . Freshly painted, Beds are very firm,Pillows need replacement, holes in fly wire, sticking toilet roll holder painful, parking tight and not the most welcoming of hosts all add up to an avoid unless the budget dictates choice
Date of stay: March 2015
Room Tip: Clean but Avoid unless cost is main driver
Trip type: Travelled on business

This place is cheap and sweet! Ideal for the no fuss 'Baby Boomers' wanting a good, quick, no fuss, cheap place to rest for the night! Eaglehawk is 6km from Bendigo, but the town has some great eateries so you really do not need to do the hike into Bendigo. I had meals at Tomas Kitchen and the Boughour (Excellent food at both).

We arrived at the Gateway for a weekend away in Bendigo!!!

Didnt expect much from those terrible brown pictures, BUT THE WHOLE TOWN WAS BOOKED OUT!!!!

The room smelt as it was a smokers room, didnt have room service really, was really bright with the lights outside, me and hubby had to get that 70's blanket out to use it as a curtain as the blindes were damaged to the left side of the main bed!!

The shower head splashed everywhere on the ceiling, tiles and outside the shower, we told the care taker or the owner and he said just put a FACE WASHER OVER IT LMAO!!!

I couldnt find a hairdryer. I gave the owner a call and he said it should be were the taoster is!! toaster and hair right!!!!!! Anyway turns out it was stolen he assumed!!1 didnt suprise me the area wasnt the best aswell!!

Finally the bed!!!! the inner bathroom side I took and you might of gussed it, TERRIBLY SUNKEN IN!!!!!!!! the bed covers very much 80's The toilet was clean.

WAS NOISY FROM THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOURS! WALLS ARE HOLLOW!!

Room tip: Drive away!!!!!!

As below, dusty, dirty, noisey, carparking was out on a side street. Dog barked all night, no cold water (as owner said, waterlines underneath roofing iron and heats with sun) shower to fill kettle and after entering the dark, smelly room I thought I would let some sun in and the blind fell off the window.
Best bit of all! Left room for 2 hours to find owner had entered room and turned off aircon! Thanks a bunch mate!

Reviewed 20 November 2011

This place was a disgrace. The place was filthy. We thought the large windows in the unit were frosted but they were just filthy. The window ledges behind the venetian blinds were thick with dead blowflies and dirt. the venetian blinds were broken and couldn't be closed. The only way to fill the kettle was by holding it under the shower rose, it wouldn't fit under the sink tap. Two lights didn't work. The owner's dog barked incessantly and the owner was disinclined to do anything about it. The interjoining walls between the units weren't soundproof, we could hear people in the next room urinating in their toilet. This is the motel from hell!

Room tip: You would be better off sleeping in your car!
