Echuca Motel

Room had a bad smell, whole place is very unkept, chairs in room are stained, bed is hard and springs are digging into my ribs, only sink to fill kettle is bathroom sink and the kettle doesn't fit under the tap, took half hour to wash the shampoo and conditioner out of my hair, due to no water pressure, shower is just a dribble, pull area has dirty pool, broken tiles around pool edge, grass and gardens around pool very over grown.

Well where do I start, Mouldy musty smell as soon as I walked in, Leaky shower stuck up with Black tape water squirting everywhere. Fridge and freezer so badly iced up couldn't fit anything in freezer. The Bed is so cheap with no padding and springs sticking out. So uncomfortable I couldn't sleep properly. The sheets were not clean and was itchy all night, top of bed head was covered in dust and im asthmatic. Carpets not vaccumed in god knows how long and freying out near bathroom. Thick dust on the bathroom window sill. This place should be shut down. It's like staying in Schitts Creek only worse. Do Not Stay Here.
You Get What You Pay For, Which isn't Much Here. For over $100 You Expect Somthing Halfway Decent.

I found Echuca Motel to be a quiet haven. It was very clean, quiet and comfortable. A road trip from Queensland had left me exhausted and part of this had been the noisy, (missing basic features for comfortable sleeping, eating and personal hygiene) motels.
The owner was courteous and kind. This motel might need upgrades but dedicated staff and cleaners will turn it around with their attitude. While the pool does need cleaning and a screen from the road, it is also situated in a lovely spot with real grass and trees.
If you're a lone traveller /driver looking for a restorative night for a reasonable price, look no further.

Keep your kids away from the pool.
We booked this motel specifically because it had a pool. On the first day we went in the pool and found that it wasn't being properly maintained. The water was cloudy with lots of dirt and debris floating in it and with green algae all around the sides of the pool. It hadn't been touched in ages. People had scratched words into it.
Spoke with the owner and found out that he didn't know the first thing about pool maintenance and had been relying on a fortnightly visit from a local pool guy. He knew there were problems but said they couldn't work out what they were. I told him to close the pool because it was a health hazard but he just put a cover over it.
After returning from Echuca we saw two elderly people in the pool. They'd simply removed the cover. I warned them about the high possibilities of bacteria and infections from the dirty water and went to see the owner again. He had to be told to lock the pool off (which he didn't do) and put up CLOSED signs, which he did.
The next morning, because he hadn't locked it, some children were in the pool. Once again I had to explain the seriousness of the situation to the owner and to try and explain to him that he needed to lock the gate, buy a pool water testing kit and to test the water every other day minimum. He nodded and agreed but we didn't observe him doing either.
From what we could gather, they're new owners who don't know the first thing about running a motel properly.

This was a terrible motel.
Not only was the carpet wet (with the heater left on and pointed towards the carpet as I entered the room, presumably a feeble attempt to dry the carpet before I checked in) but the windows had a sheet of mould, obviously haven't been cleaned in years. The whole room stank of wet and mould, I had to refuse the room and went to another motel. I do not recommend coming here.

Stayed 7 nights and no housekeeping, while the Internet turned off around 9pm for some reason.

Bed is hard as a rock, secondary smoke from outside pours into your room, shower is tiny and hot water fluctuates hot cold hot cold, heater doesn’t work, I had to replace the TV remote batteries.

Older type motel but clean large rooms and comfy bed with electric blanket, large showers with nice hot water. Great value for money.

Ok motel but well out of Echuca if you haven’t got a car and the rooms are dated and the doors don’t feel secure.

Very impressed! Beautiful feel to the room, fantastic customer service. Location is 10/10.
Will definitely be back!

This motel is good value. Nothing special but good bed, big bathroom, nice TV. Basic content (towels, soaps, tea/coffee, tissues etc) but nothing special Outside of the town centre but only. 5 minute drive. Reception is t very friendly but efficient.

PROS — The family room was isolated from the other rooms, which was great, as It meant you couldn’t hear anyone next to you. Staff were friendly & helpful.
CONS — However, the door was very hard to open and damaged, the beds were uncomfortable and sagging. The TV is located above the bench but the only people who can watch it is whomever is in the queen bed. There’s a couch next to the queen bed, but you can’t see TV due to the bathroom wall in the way. The other 2 beds were partitioned off by a wall, so no watching TV. There were only 2 chairs at the table for 3 people. The bathroom walls were dirty, there was nowhere to put dishes down in bathroom as this is where you had to wash them. The shower base was disgusting and it was just a lid covering the drain, easily removed, and a child could easily put their arm down there.
Water pressure wasn’t the best. I realise it’s a 3 star Motel but could be a lot better.

For the price it was awesome. Had the coincedence of bumping into my cousin and my brothers family. Pool was lovely. If anything I would say there is a bit of traffic but that comes with a motel. They had a lovely garden, lots of succulents and some nice seating as well.

Nice comfortable room, pool nice not cold sun chair avalible. I o.

In order, the rooms were older but very clean. The person at the counter was very accommodating. It is out a bit from the CBD but still in a great location. One point. I have a high vehicle, which excludes me from entering a lot of the motels, with silly, low alcoves. This motel has plenty of head room for larger vehicles.
Free washing machine and dryer. Also, a basic kitchen if you want to 'eat in. ' Very special attributes these days. Price was most likely the best in Echuca, easily up to $40 a night cheaper than some. I can not recommend this motel enough.

Great central location near the Campaspe walking track.
Carparking can be tight if your vehicle has high roof racks. Perfect for a normal sedan.
Great place to stay for a very reasonable price.

A nice cheap option to stay at if you need an affordable place to stay at in Echuca, however the quality of the stay wasn’t the best.
