Dannemora Motor Inn

Hotel

I would post zero stars if I could, this motel swiped my credit card for security even though I had paid for the room and there was no minibar or consumables, saying my card would not be charged, well they ‘ accidentally ‘ debited my card hoping I would not notice. I was left short of finds for the rest of my trip and took 2 weeks to get the money back only when I complained, fraudsters!

PERFECT A very convenient location and handy to all facilities. Spacious clean and well maintained rooms that are comfortable and private. Appreciated the friendly, pleasant and helpful staff and management. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to recommend to any future guests looking for quality accomodation.

No thrills but tidy and clean. Is budget and off the main drag but had a good night sleep and free Wi-Fi worked.

Not happy with the accommodation… rang specifically and spoke in person to book the rooms for two nights as was traveling quite a way, payed for within minutes of booking, only to have a phone call on the morning of traveling to Auckland to tell me I hadn’t payed, which the owner failed to actually look and realise I had payed on the day of booking!, on arrival then found out that the room we had been given wasn’t even what I had booked, no two bedroom, no porta cot had been written down, wasn’t on ground floor and no air conditioning! Then walked into the room to find a huge puddle of water by fridge! Next the toilet wouldn’t stop running, side of couch was broken, ants appeared everywhere, bench, walls! Was then informed fridge had been defrosted and would be fine, only to wake next morning to a hot fridge, milk off! Ham been hot! Butter!, so informed front desk again! Went out for day, received phone call from owner… apologies or so I thought and told we would be refunded…, on returning later that afternoon to find ants everywhere… through food in cupboards etc… took photos, only to find out on leaving the next morning a very abrupt lady owner that doesn’t stand by what she said about the refund and was awful to deal with, had to prove by photos about the ants as she tried to deny ever having them and then I was told I shouldn’t of had food in cupboards etc! … awful stay and very unhappy guests, be a great story for fair go!

One star due to the following Telling me it's $155 a night and then charging $170 a night Rooms basic, not particularly clean Very noisy from the traffic I have stayed in far better for a lot less One star only Roger.

I didn’t want to pick a star but would not allow me to post my review without doing so Stayed at Dannemora Motor Inn end of December. Pulled up and thought “nice motel” Boy was I wrong! Made to pay a whole nights bond (never ever had to pay a bond at a Motel EVER) Adviced to take photos by the people we were with, to safe guard ourselves. So we did. What we found before Our stay was disgusting! Filthy windows, toilets, shower and spa! Dirty linen. Pubic hairs in the spa bath! How disgusting is that?! Dirty filthy fan! Dishwasher didn’t work. Had to ask for towels as we weren’t allocated enough for the amount of people staying. No room service which meant no clean towels at all. Like I said we had to ask for clean towels. Broken window latches. The rubbish was piled up behind the office and it wasn’t even our rubbish to begin with! Being accused of being from the slums because we asked for a frying pan to cook. Bond… wasn’t given back with no explanation at all as to why we didn’t get it back. Ignoring phone calls and emails. For what was paid per night including bond, we should have received much better customer service than what we did. And motel should have a better standard. Will not be staying ever again. And I’ll be making sure friends and family will not be either.

Our employee got there after 11pm at night. Receptionist not accommodating at all. Was very rude. No suggestions as to where to get something to eat. Toilet in room was not working. Asked for another room, she flatly declined. Toilet still not fixed after being at a course the next day. Still declined to offer to change rooms. Very horrible experience. Road noise shocking. Would not recommend this motel to anyone. Was charged $160 per night for this disgusting experience. DONT STAY THERE! Worst experience ever.

Lovely lady gave her a tip.

Love it Awesome Relaxing.

Ok for a one night work stop.

The room was filthy. Cheap and nasty toilet paper.

When first walking into this place everything seems and looks fine, but after trying out two different rooms I'm left injured and not at all impressed. The downstairs rooms were designed for disabled access in the bathrooms which is a nice thought but when you use the shower (not enclosed) the entire bathroom tiled floor instantly becomes very slippery and unsafe. It was so bad even just standing still in bare feet trying to brush my teeth I fell over 3 times. I ended up having to put on shoes just to use the shower without slipping over. Further in the upstairs room the metal TV bracket actually is in the way of safely walking around the bed and in the dark I accidentally smacked my head hard on the metal TV bracket (which shouldn't even be in the way of safely walking around the bed). Seriously who designed this place? It's a osh hazzard disaster. I was happy about how nice and clean the rooms are but seriously hurting myself from unsafe rooms has left me very unhappy and in my opinion nobody should be staying here until the safety issues are resolved. The slippery shower floor needs anti slip grip added to the floor tiles and the TV bracket should be removed completely or at least put in a safe place where you won't hit your head just getting back to bed. These are not nice to have wishes safety is essential and everybody's right, it shouldn't be neglected.

We had family unit. Roomy. Good size kitchen. Beds comfy. On corner of busy intersection. Reasonably quiet for amount of traffic. Eateries not far in all directions. A little aged.

Nice cozy n tidy rooms for a great price.

Nice place comfortable but remote buttons only some worked no volume control etc would I stay again yes.

Worst motel stay in my life! Booking for 3 people, only 2 towels in bathroom. They promote whirlpool bath but no extra spa towels. When we asked for extra towels we were given 1 towel and 1 facecloth. Pull out bed for 3rd person had no blankets or pillows. (did not check this upon arrival and went out that night arriving back after midnight to find the bed had no bedding). When we alerted the office the following morning multiple excuses given! No Wi-Fi as advertised, no compendium with motel information. Oh and when we were given a blanket, it was a thin acrylic blanket and a duvet cover with no inner just a cover! Room was simplistic and in need of a revamp. Toilet flush button had to be tapped several times to stop water running into the bowl. Broken button on electrical socket in kitchen (when switched off it still worked). They advertise that they would take 1st night payment 2 days prior to arrival and balance to be paid on check out, this did not happen, upon check in we were charged full amount for the 3 days we had booked for. (Felt like a criminal who was going to do a runner). I would have cancelled this booking had I seen this motel or read the reviews prior to booking! (Lesson for the future, always check reviews). Only thing I was happy about is the bed I slept in was very comfortable and yes road noise is an issue if you are a light sleeper and neighbouring rooms can be quite noisey because of thin walls.
