It’s a Motor Inn, so if you expect anything more than that you’ll be disappointed, otherwise you’ll be happy enough. Convenient location. The shower was good, no water issues or issues with the shower head. The bed was a little squeaky but comfortable. As a place to stay the night then I recommend. For long term, or if you’re planning on spending a bit of time in the hotel room, then I’d question my decision. I don’t regret staying there and would use the place again.

Very Clean, staff wonderful, close to main street and dinning. The only thing missing is a quilt...wish all hotels/motels would ditch those blankets. You would not be disappointed staying here. Thank you for a lovely stay and upgrade x

Staff were very helpful and as we had booked on Saturday for Sunday night the Wot If Booking did not arrive until about five minutes before we got to the motel on the Sunday evening and they put us up in a double room for Sunday night and moved us for Monday and Tuesday nights to a Queen size room which was a much better standard. Big let down by Wot IF.

This was for a birthday present for my niece, apparently when my sister rocked up they didn't know what room they were putting them in,they said any room would do,after I'd just payed $155 for a nights stay,they had no access to the pool due to there been a cover over it,one of the reasons I picked this motel and the bed wasn't made properly also on there site they had a breakfast pack made up but my sister didn't receive this,when Ive stayed at budget hotels in the Newcastle area we are given milk and cups access to certain things such as the pool and etc even during covid,I feel I disappointed my sister and my niece's whom are currently homeless and really in need of some TLC and time together as they are seperated..really disappointed especially for the price I paid...

I am sorry that your niece found that her accommodation was not up the standard expected. We usually check if guest prefer upstairs or down stairs and if they require different bedding options... The Pool is kept covered when not in use to stop leaves falling in and to stop evaporation. Most guests just roll the cover back when required but we would have definately rolled it back for her if she had asked/requested. Tea/coffee facilities - Milk and coffee mugs are in all room and the cold breakfast pack is available on request. I am not sure just what you mean about the bed not being made up properly? We triple-sheet all bed at the Motel Farrington and do not use bedspreads any more. A doona & blanket on all beds and spare blankets in the cupboard... As I said I am sorry that we were not up to your expectations but I am sure if reception was asked, we would have been able to make these things happen...

I am sorry that your stay in Tumut was not up to expectations. Unfortunately, we only have on site parking for 1 car per room and sometimes guests have 2 separate vehicles (or longer vehicles) Regretfully parking is necessary for later guest outside our normal car park.

I am sorre that your visit was not up to your expectations. All airconditioning is normally working at the Motel. Did you advise staff to check battery on remote? Internet is available in all rooms/area of the Motel. The Tumut Valley region sometimes have WIFI drop outs.. Perhaps on the day of your stay, there were local problems. Did you ask at reception?

A basic configuration, without comparative pricing
The motel is marketed leveraging the Best Western branding, leaving impression the motel will be better proportioned, quality than what actually is. We stay in lots of motels, and felt the motel is equivalent to a room about 30% below what we paid. Can't fault the motel, as a basic place to stay, just relative to other motels we've staid at, relative to price paid.

We had booked an Executive Queen room on the basis of the photos and the price. As we are in our mid to late 70s, we asked for a downstairs room. Unfortunately it seemed that there were none of the type of room we booked on the ground floor. The room we were allocated was clean, quiet and tidy but very outdated, cramped and in need of renovation. Definitely not "executive". As there are many who would prefer a ground floor room, the website should show where each category of room is located.
