We had a brief overnight stay on our way to Sydney. Room was clean and comfortable, and close to the centre of Kempsey.

The room was modern but the buildings are old. Room was clean and neat. Bed was ordinary but comfortable, I had a good nights sleep. Very clean and updated bathroom was also a good point. Value for money but area does not have a good reputation. The manager and staff do a good job

We chose the motel based purely on price and had no great expectations; just a clean, comfortable place with wifi to spend a night. We have certainly paid more to stay in worse places, and we would recommend Park Drive Motel to other families travelling through.

Perfect overnight stop: quiet and comfortable
Pleasant welcome, easy check in and check out Microwave, bar fridge with small freezer space (but didn't freeze ice bricks overnight). Lots of bench space and a separate table and 2 chairs. soap dispenser in shower (working) and beside basin (empty) - able to get soap from reception Very comfortable, firm bed secure - rooms use keys that cannot be easily copied quiet overnight. not right in town but walkable

Perfect for a quick overnight stay whilst travelling. Beds were comfortable and shower was great. Yes it’s old and tired and surroundings are a little bland, but it’s great value for money. A negative for me was all the ash trays outside the rooms which encouraged people to sit outside their rooms and smoke, resulting in the smoke coming straight into the rooms. Shoving a towel under the door helped, but maybe discourage smoking in this area?

Nothing too wrong with this motel. Only stayed one night though. Not super new but well looked after. Had TV, microwave, fridge, controllable air conditioning. Main issue - and it's not a fixable one but just to keep in mind - is that it's about a 10-15 minute walk to the main or high street of town, but a good 30 minutes to the train station.

Great value for money, dog friendly accommodation. Older style room with space for the bed, a sofa and a table and chairs. Equipment included a microwave, toaster, cutlery and plates etc so we were able to make our own breakfast. The person at checkin was great. Not far from town. We had Chinese from the place next door which was good.
