Wanderlight Motor Inn

We were travelling through, The reception staff were nice. the bathroom has been modernised, but is TINY and if you are tall you will have some trouble sitting on the toilet without hitting your knees on the vanity. If you had mobility issues you would not have been able to manage in the space There was also a funky smell in the room when we first went in ? Toilet. The bed was comfy. Our room door did not lock properly and had heaps of gaps around it letting in light. As did the old server hatch, Carpet was grubby Commercial kitchen next door,fumes came straight into room. Fittings in room were fairly shabby, although the counter tops looked newish Felt the room was overpriced.

I booked a Standard Queen room, via the website, for an overnight stay in Mudgee. We knew check-in was 2pm but arrived in Mudgee about 1pm and drove to the Motor Inn. Reception was closed so we knocked on the door as we wanted to ask if we could leave our car on the property. The lady at reception told us in a very unfriendly manner that check in was "not before 2pm" however we could leave our car there. We arrived back at 2.10pm, still closed, so phoned reception to gain access. We were given the key to Room 10 on the ground floor. It was quite roomy, very clean and had been refurbished, by way of painted brick walls and new carpet. However, there were some short falls. The curtains had several hooks missing so could not be closed properly. The bathroom was very narrow with only a sliding door and the toilet had a constant drip. The plastic shower curtain wasn't great for stopping water getting on the floor and unfortunately, no hand towel or bath mat which meant a visit to reception. The lady questioned my husband whether he had looked around for the towels. The next morning we couldn't find any cups so had to use our own. When checking out, we mentioned the lack of cups and again was asked if we had looked everywhere as there should be cups. She came into the room and searched high and low. It appeared to us that this Motor Inn relies on guaranteed bookings for contract workers coming to the area and has let things go a bit or can not get staff. This was our last night on our self-catering road trip and the 10th motel, mostly family owned ones, we had stayed in on our journey. First impressions are gained at check-in and there was no warm welcome here, whatsoever. Except for the city of Bendigo, the Wanderlight Motor Inn had the most expensive tariff of the other eight. Customer service goes a long way in this industry and I will definitely be trying out a different motel when next visiting Mudgee.

Room extremely average, very bad smell in the room that smelt like urine, which I tracked to the air-conditioning . Took the filters out which were absolutely filthy and had so much dirty and fluff in them they looked more like felt. Our them in the shower and washed them but still couldn't get rid of the smell Carpet was old and dirty bed not at all comfortable. Certainly would not recommend this place to anyone. Got my company to book me into another place the following night
