Maitland City Motel

Newcastle

Good value and clean basic rooms. But only has auto check in. I booked online and when I arrived, there was only a closed reception office with a machine outside. It dispensed my plastic door card. It was very impersonal, no meals, no friendly manager to talk to. I travel frequently and I hope too many motels go this way.

It is bad enough doing your own check out at the supermarkets etc. I won't  be back

Self Serve Motel not for me

We checked in about 8:30 and were told there was no parking within the motel with a boat trailer on the back and we had to park in the overflow park next door in the bowls club. 
We parked close to our room to unpack, my phone went 10 mins later and it was the manager saying we couldnt park there, I asked him why there were other vehicles parked with trailers on, he said he would call them and ask them to move, clearly it was all lies as we woke up this morning and they were still parked within the motel.
We woke up and the whole car park was empty apart from the two vehicles with trailers.
Rules should be the same for everybody, we were a young family with two kids that had just driven 13 hours and wanted a room to stay and somewhere we could park the car and boat that was close to our room like the other two gentlemen did!

As for an onsite manager answering their phone if you need them it went to voice mail! No help there!

Can't handle liars! 

We will not be back!

Worst Motel!

Stayed overnight as we had a wedding locally. This is a budget motel room so as expected the room was small and very basic however very clean and I was surprised by the comfortable bed. Although the room was so basic it met our needs as somewhere to crash the night. 

We attempted early check in without notice and the manager was very prompt to reallocate our room to assist with this so was happy with the customer service. 

Would stay here again as a ‘stop over’ type stay if needed. 

Clean motel room

Stayed over a wekend with a mature group. Automated check-in posed a problem for older people but the Manager sorted it out very well. Value accomodation and the Maitland Club is adjacent for meals Etcy

COMFORTABLE, CLEAN & HANDY LOCATION

The motel is located right on the highway BUT there is no traffic noise even though our room was at the front of the motel. Quirky because the check in kiosk is unusual but there is a reception phone on the side of the kiosk and the young lady assisted us and we had no problems. The room was small but we had a double and single bed. Foxtel on TV and a bathroom with a large shower. No the motel is not new but it is very practical for an overnight stay. A licensed club  is at the rear of the premises and a large shopping centre is 200 metres away offering everything you need. Stayed on a Friday night, $115, great value for the price.

Good Motel, a little quirky but value fo money.

Booked in good faith. Victoria closed the border. 

Checked their listing on booking.com - "For bookings made on or after 6 April 2020, we advise you to consider the risk of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and associated government measures. If you don’t book a flexible rate, you may not be entitled to a refund. Your cancellation request will be handled by the property based on your chosen policy and mandatory consumer law, where applicable. During times of uncertainty, we recommend booking an option with free cancellation. If your plans change, you can cancel free of charge until free cancellation expires." 

No free cancellation option. Charged for the room. Now they can book it out again. 

WARNING - No COVID refunds

We were a bit disappointed !!Had trouble with the checking in kiosk.Never used one before.. Considering we had room with a queen bed & disable friendly > It was very hot when we arrived so had to use air con as no other way to cool down.  As i have ill effects from air conditioner & couldn't seem to open windows i was a bit upset but we managed.Learnt how to open windows the next morning, had to be stronger than what i am!!!!!! Also must have had mosies in the room as i have bites all over me.......

Modern Motel

oom was very clean although quite small automated check in didn’t see any managers  We paid $145 for the night expecting at least a queen bed but only a double bed and a single usual prices are $119 so thought the $145 price tag would secure a queen bed . Breakfast is non existent even though it is advertised in the room as available, a bit disappointing a/c was amazing very close to the club a plus . Would look for something else close by I think

Give it a miss

Large room very clean  hot water with a great shower . The bed felt like you were sleeping on feather. It was big and l didn't feel like my husband was sleeping in it with me it was just lovely . Great nights sleep . My daughter had plenty of room in her section of the room to move around . It had a big bath room for her to change in . So she didn't feel un comfortable changing with her dad in the same room with us. Tv was not so big but it was ok . air conditioner worked well . And we didn't hear the traffic from the main road .

Lovely motel

Travelling 4000 plus K's solo on a motorbike stopping overnight.  I chose motels based on Trip Advisor reviews and “value”.  The method worked well and wasn’t disappointed in any choices over two weeks of travelling.  The two things that turned out important to me was being to offload my gear into the room without falling over it or taking up the chairs and being able to have breakfast before the next day’s ride.

Reception was excellent very persanble owners.  Gave me the rundown and made things easy.  Hot cooked breakfast available before the ride and good dinner at the club behind the Motel.  Everything handy everything easy.  

Room presentation was clean and tidy.  Plenty of shelving/ floor space to unload my luggage without falling over it.  On the main road but no noise intrusion.  Looking for scenic views?...storm fronts yes, country side no.  

If I stay at Rutherford again, that's where I'll be.
