Country Road Motel

Property is oldish but ok for an overnighter. Bed was an older mattress. The main area was a bit tired but did have a microwave, toaster & kettle. Shower pressure was very good but bathroom was a little tight.

Decent. Pros: • Clean • Basics of a motel – kettle, microwave, fridge, basic tea and coffee • Wifi worked ok. I’ve had worse. • Pool looked nice • Friendly proprietors • Recently updated main room and renovated bathroom (low end but new fittings). Important if you object to dated but clean facilities – we don’t object. Clean is clean. • Nice long bar and stools in the room so both people can sit and eat! • Air Conditioned not particularly loud – unusual for a vanilla motel! Cons: • Trucks on the main road out the front which you can hear if you have the window open but otherwise not • Basic – but as I say, clean, everything basic is done right. Is at the top end of what I’d pay for basic, but its all done right and running a motel must be a difficult thing and I am sure it occupies a lot of hours 7 days a week for not a great income. So all in all a pretty decent place to stay. Nothing special, but decent. From what I read, a lot of the places in Charters aren’t this decent. When you see it you may be bothered by the train line running behind the motel, I certainly was when I saw it. But only heard one train during the night, and slept as well as I have at any other accommodation. In any case the train line is close to most accommodation in Charters, even if not mentioned in the reviews of those places. Probably didn’t need to mention it really.

Staff were fantastic and very accommodating

Nice place to rest my head for the night.

Convenient easy parking

Clean and comfortable, we were a little concerned that the noise of roadtrains rumbling past would keep us awake all night -- Country Road Motel is on a main road heading west: instead, delighted to have had possibly the best sleep in our week's holiday.
