Aussie Rest Motel

Disappointing

Liked: The only things which are good abt Aussie Rest Motel are 1) its location 2) the fact that it is not expensive 3) pre-payment is not required.
Disliked: Other than that, I can't see any advantages. I booked Deluxe King Room. The reality was very far from anything like that. The room definitely didn't look like Deluxe. It was quite shabby, the bedside tables were scratched, the carpeting was worn out, the shower wasn't in good condition either - the grouting looked awful and very messy, the ventilation duct on the ceiling was very dirty and dusty as if no one cleaned it for ages. The water pipes were probably so old that they were making quite a loud sound. The windows were so bad and thin that the sound proofing was almost nil. It took the reception years to find my booking in their system for some reason which raises a question of communication between Booking.com and the property. We had to find another room for night No 2 in Hunter Valley. I didn't want to stay in Aussie Rest Motel for another night. We booked another motel which was just a bit more expensive but much better although similar to Aussie Rest Motel in its structure and configuration which makes me think that we were not given a Deluxe King room in Aussie Rest Motel. It was definitely some other room of a lower class. I also didn't like the fact that Booking,com didn't mention that you have to pay a surcharge if paying by card at the property. The property needs a refurbishment 100%. It's no good that there's misinformation and customer are deceived by showing them nice pictures online which do not meet the reality. I was surprised by so many good reviews. Either they are too old or the customers were given better rooms.

Clean and comfortable beds.

Liked: Clean and comfortable room (we had number 20)
Disliked: If I had to nitpick, the fan in the bathroom was in an odd position (over the toilet instead of over the shower? and I doubt it was working (could barely hear any fan noise) but otherwise it was all as expected.

CAREFUL Small bits of wire...

Liked: Beds were comfortable. And water pressure and heat was good and consistent.
Disliked: For a family room there was very little bench space and except a teaspoon there was no utensils to prepare healthy nutritious meals and fruits and snacksPlus finding multiple fine small pieces of wire throughout the room hidden in the carpet of which unfortunately I located with my bare feet but thanking my child did not.
