Campbelltown Colonial Motor Inn

What i got told from my daughter it was untidy and not clean. NO1 CLEANING

I stayed at this hotel for a night. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned properly, the fridge shelves were tape, rust over almost everything, all night into the early hours the people in the room next to us has music playing and tv on high volume whilst being loud themselves and because they walls are thin we heard absolutely everything. The only good thing was the pressure in the shower that I didn’t use because it was dirty.

The write up on line about The Colonial is a far stretch from the reality. The reviews are correct. We looked around and unfortunately there was not much available in Campbelltown for our dates. As it was, $730 for 5 nights was way above what we wanted to pay for that area. First of all I’d like to compliment the staff. They were lovely. The house keeping staff especially were very friendly and helpful. Our beds were comfortable and there was enough hot water. That’s about as good as it gets. I double checked there was wifi as my daughter works from her computer from 5am in the morning and then later at night. I was told there was wifi. There wasn’t. We were then told it was being fixed and it didn’t get fixed. So my daughter lost 2 days work and 2 days pay. We were not offered compensation in any way. The 2nd night we stayed there was some kind of deal going on in the car park. At 2am, arguing and fighting broke out in the room above my folks room and then 2 cars sat idling with their lights on for an hour and a half in the car park. Right outside my folks room. They are elderly so it was very unsettling. I watched from another room as baskets of washing were brought out to cars and then cars moved and people got out and In. It all seemed very dodgy and not what we needed on a family medical emergency trip. There was no cutlery or plates but a toaster and kettle. We had to buy a knife just so we could have toast. The rooms were very smelly and musty. We bought air freshener just to make it bearable for 5 days. If you had to stay In This area I’d recommend it for a night if you were stuck. But for the price it’s definately not worth it. I’ve stayed in 5 star beach accomodation that’s been cheaper than this. It is however close to shops and transport if that’s something you need.

This place is in need of some serious maintenance. The Door didn't shut without force, the chain was broken. The bathroom door had a punch hole and there was no hairdryer in the cradle. The lamp shade was a bit trashed and the switch faulty. The air con was average and very noisy. The TV did not work at all. The blinds were mangled. Sticky-tape marks on the mirror. I don't see how they can say it's worth $175 p/night through Qantas booking - I'd rather sleep in my car.

The photos on *********** are a bit misleading, the place isn't as good as all that... I think this motel saw its glory days in the 80's and hasn't seen much maintenance since. Windows that don't open, doors that don't close, mould, ripped carpet, holes in walls, non-smoking rooms that reek of stale tobacco... But, the linen was fresh and clean, the beds well-made and comfortable. Certainly not the worst place I've stayed in. Also, don't mind the ground floor inhabitants that stare at you slack-jawed as you walk past. They seem harmless if a little disconcerting.

There is only one word to describe this accommodation, outdated and uncared for, in need of some every day maintenance. The handle fell off the cold water tap in the shower. Famines had been torn from areas in the little kitchenette. There were 2 cups, one saucer, one spoon and one glass. The only reason we stayed after an entire days driving was the fact that the sheets appeared to be clean!
