Review of Frankston Motel
3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 Oct 2016via mobile
We stayed here for a night in October, the lady at the desk was welcoming, room was very clean. Downside was the hard mattress and the curtains could do with a block out layer for those wanting to sleep in. All in all, it was good for the price.

    We booked an executive suite because the description read "Upgraded suite". It was a big disappointment when we check-in. The upgrade was limited to the toilet and there was a long list of old antiquated items in the room. Let me list them:
    - old window air-conditioner that starts and stops with aloud "clonk". The way to turn on or off the air con was directly from the wall socket.
    - old fridge with the freezer compartment frozen over, it looked like no one had cleaned the fridge in a few years
    - old pillows that are hard and heavy. If it were my own pillow, i would be sure they are full of dead dust mites.
    - old mattress that was hard and stained

    We left the towels on the towel rail as we do not mind reusing the towels for a second day. To our horror after we returned to the room - the floor mat was placed right on top of our towels and based on the dirt and stains on the floor mat, we are sure it wasn't a new piece but the same one that was on the floor the night before. And they encourage us to be environmentally friendly.

    High time for a major renovation.

    Great place to stay for one night while on roadtrip from Sydney.
    The staff were friendly and had late check in. Through google maps and gsp say that it's at two different locations. All and all not bad

    I stayed here for 5 days towards the end of July while attending to family business. The room, although ageing, was very clean and comfortable. It was quiet and not overly bright at night. The bed was excellent and the heating and electric blankets very welcoming. Kitchinette was very functional and I loved the daily housekeeping. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly. A dedicated laundry room with washers and dryer is also available for guests at a reasonable price or you can hang your clothes to dry in your room with the clothes airer which is provided. The motel is located very close to the beaches and it is the gateway to many more scenic destinations. It is an ideal place to stay. I will definitely stay here again but hopefully in warmer weather so I can use the pool!

    For a motel, it's quite good. Good location, near 24hr macs so food is not a problem. Friendly staff, great facilities (Swimming pool, tennis court) for a motel though we didn't use them since it was winter.

    Bed is abit small for a family with a toddler but should be sufficient for a couple. Heater can't heat the bathroom so be prepared for cold bathrooms in winter.

    But for the price, it's pretty worth it..
