This hotel is very basic. It desperately needs a full over haul. Years of grime build up. Unfortunately Power outage due to storms …no one at reception but through texting manager organised a torch to be delivered. Power back on at 6am so spent a very dark night with no electricity . Needs a generator maybe. Bed not too bad but bed cover and blanket so old and cover on old couch was just awful. Kettle clean thankfully. Plenty of hot water when power back on. $139 I expected basic but not this awful. I have requested some refund as I feel this would show some acknowledgment of the bad situation but as yet have had no answer. Not sure Wotif should be advertising this place. Seedy feeling….

Room was extremely basic and of poor standard. Windows with net screens missing, big holes under door for insects to enter room. Fridge filthy. No microwave or other cooking facilities. No hairdryer provided. Shower very poor and only suitable for short people. No bulbs in bedside lamps. Very poor standards overall, especially for price paid. On a positive note, nice location in town to go for wander.

Older motel and over inflated price for poorly maintained rooms. Had trouble finding power points that worked. Non welcoming, as was in area on business next time im better to drive 90 mins home and drive back next day.

Strands of long hair caught in the guest welcome book was revolting. An old and battered motel. Lots of noise from socialising owners so I had to close the window and turn the television up loud.

Friendly staff, super clean (& I work as an Aged Care cleaner, so I am tough on that) & very comfortable beds. Great location, at top end of main street, so you can walk to shops, bakeries & pubs, with a major supermarket directly across the road. The entry door did have gaps, so it would be drafty in winter, but that could be fixed & a door snake would be good too. But the heater worked brilliantly anyway, so I was more than cosy. Check-in needs to include giving guests the breakfast menu & the cut off time to order - that was oversight #1 that needs to be remedied. Oversight #2 I am leas forgiving of - the tea/coffee amenities didn't include a single plate or cutlery - not even a teaspoon to stir your tea/coffee! Sorry, there is no good excuse for that faux par, ever. Overall, it was a great place to spend the night - I was attending a friend's birthday & required a clean, comfortable place to stay - Tartan Motel delivered. The little details can be forgiven (once).

Great service and comfy stay on a budget.
We had a friends wedding nearby, so needed a room mainly for sleeping. Tartan organized for an early check in so we could make the most of a child free weekend with a sleep pre wedding, and then a late checkout so we could enjoy a late breakfast before hitting the road. Room was clean, bed was comfy, and shower had good pressure. We both made use of the iron and ironing board supplied to straighten out our outfits, so that was handy! Very quiet room over night, so slept like a baby!
