I had left booking a motel until late in the day, I googled a bit and found this one... I called the lady who runs it and she was quite lovely. Batlow is not a big town, in fact its population is under 1500 but it really is something special. 

This motel isn't going to wow you like a city motel, it's going to offer you a comfortable bed in a small town with country hospitality. It is easy to locate, driving in the driveway had me wondering where to park, so I parked against the grass at the back of the property. 

The room has seen better days, I wasn't sure if the door was locking and to be honest, it didn't automatically like I had hoped, but you push a switch at the back and it locks. I only found this out after walking to the nearby supermarket and returning to find that I didn't need to put the code in. 

And let's talk about that supermarket... it's literally doors away from the motel, so it's really easy to grab your staples... or if you are like me, your dinner and breakfast. And again, it's a small town business that makes your trip just a bit more immersive. But let's talk about breakfast.

The motel offers breakfast options for $2- very reasonable. Whilst they prefer cash for these, they will also upon request add them to your bill. As for eating options ... the RSL is next door or the pub is a block and a half away. 

It's an older room so there was a shower leak ... I noticed water at the back of the shower after the neighbouring room had a shower... I had not and the water wasn't there when I arrived. The bathroom was clean and generous with it's shampoos and conditioners. 

I slept really well here and found the experience to be quaint. It was quiet even being on the main road. Mattress was good and the pillows were much better than where I had stayed on the previous night. 



Applelishish 

They don't change bedsheets & pillow covers & quilt covers and don't admit it.

We stayed in a family room, which has a big double bed and a single bed for the child.
My partner found the bedsheet and pillow cover were dirty and had lots of hair on them.
I noticed that the bedsheet on the single bed was ok.
We felt disgusting and we called the reception but no response.
We had to use our sleeping bag that night.
On the next day morning, we spoke to the receptionist about the issue.
She said she did all the cleaning, and that's because the washing machine can't clean the hair well, she noticed that and talked to the boss about this issue before.
I expressed my doubt because if the washing machine is bad, all the bedsheets should have hair and be dirty, which is probably an even bigger issue.
Why is the bedsheet on the single bed clean?
She didn't respond to my question and just repeated her explanation.
I felt it was waste of time to continue the conversation.
I said, "ok, I have to leave, but I have taken the pictures and will give a review"
She suddenly said, how about giving you one free night? 
We refused.
The interesting thing just began...
On the next day, I received a message from booking that want to confirm if we were no show at the Apple Inn.
That's so weird to me because it is obviously wrong.
Later I was aware of her purpose because I couldn't find this booking in my booking history, which means I couldn't give them a review!
I had to call booking and provide my credit card statement as evidence to make this booking visible again in my history.

I am pretty sure the receptionist is a big liar.
She didn't change the bedsheet.
She didn't admit it.
But she gave me one free night offer.
And she lied to booking that we were no show.
Because she was fear of my review.

They don't change bedsheet & pillow cover & quilt cover, big liar, the worst experience ever

Old motel. Reasonably clean, albeit there was dead bugs on the windows sills. TV was faulty as it rebooted all night. Bed and towels clean, we had a good sleep. We stayed on a Monday; Batlow shuts down so think about a feed before you arrive.

Overnight accommodation on the road

Living near CORRYONG and working in Tumut for a few days means I’m staying away from home. Actually drove back to Batlow to stay a second night here from Tumut as the room is great. 
It’s clean, comfie and has everything ya need. Batlow like our area has suffered very badly from the fires and covid limited travel. Support small business……. They are the lifeblood of the country.

Fantastic

We paid $140 a night.

Pros
Great position, walk to the clubs, pub and supermarket
Quiet rooms.

Cons
A very modest hotel that is overpriced. I guess the lack of options in Batlow means they can set their own price.

We had a king bed which was 2 beds pushed together, one mattress was 2 inched higher than the other so not very comfortable.
Our room needed a good dust and the bathroom tiles could do with a squirt of bleach.
The lawns needed mowing and the whole motel felt a bit unloved :(

Fairly modest hotel that is overpriced. Great position.

We rang the lady and booked our room. We paid with our credit card and soon we’re sent our room number and entry code.
Even though the motel was older it was very clean, tidy and well appointed.
There was a continental breakfast you could purchase and even a well stocked refrigerator.
Sleep quality was excellent and the shower was great.
The motel is located right in town and is next door to the RSL, nice and close for dinner.

Quite a Gem

Contactless checkin with pincode on doors... budget motel but rooms are surprisingly good; comfy beds, close to all amenities, gas BBQ. Stayed here as Tumut was booked out, and pleasantly rewarded; friendly staff on-site; one minute walk to club and supermarket

surprisingly good for small country town

This is a convenient spot to set up "Base camp" when visiting the Sugar Pine Walk in the Bago State Forest. The rooms are thoughtfully outfitted with plenty of supplies including milk, cookies, and cereal for breakfast. The bakery, coffee shop, pub and RSL are all within walking distance.

Right on main St

Always stay here great Views clean rooms Easy 24 hr book ins Adjoining RSL Club Friendly township always stay Here never had any Complaints I Recommend this Motel You will enjoy a peaceful nights sleep 

Peaceful very Reasonable price Rooms

We stayed at this quaint little motel overnight and found the accom to be really good
The beds are really comfortable and pillows amazing.
The shower is nice and hot and good pressure although the shower head could do with a change as it felt like u had to run around to get wet.  
The rooms have reverse cycle air con as well as a fan.
The only issue is you have to ring a phone number to be let in but the wait isnt long at all.
Rooms prices are reasonable also.  
Would recommend .
