I wasn't very happy, no one to great you, I had prebooked and paid, my last stop over, the room I stayed in, Shower door was broken couldn't even close it, again no one to great you. no customer service, would not stay here again.
Very old dated rooms awful outside area
The room was clean enough the horse stables next door stunk
Place is dirty and filled with lots of junkies living there’s full Tim had a possum in our room fair to say didn’t stay there
Only one towel provided for multiple guests. Had to clean and wipe spa before use. Emptied spa and drainage connected to shower in bathroom and drainage not equipped to handle water draining which resulted in bathroom flooding. Unable to communicate with reception/owners due to English not being their first language.
Toaster but no knife or plates to eat on
Outdated
Staff at reception friendly but hotel is very run down, grounds not well maintained. Room was large but very outdated. Many other hotels in much better condition for a similar price. Would not stay here again.
This was the worst bed I have ever paid to sleep in. Lumpy pillows & old mattress. Entire place needs a makeover.
Having a Guest kitchen and laundry was an excellent facility..
This older style property was clean, well equipped, very comfortable and reasonably priced. The Management was prompt and very helpful when a Signal couldn’t be found on the TV. They were very attentive and changed my room when they couldn’t fix the issue. I would definitely stay here again.
Easy check in, clean rooms and amenities great little place to stop over for a night
Would stay there again. Thank you
Very friendly check in and clean room.
Up at the back of the complex, door chain had half of it missing, aircon remote wouldnt adjust, bedside table drawer broken, no couch , , large wooden table with 3 wooden chairs, basic decor, no milk supplied for tea or coffee, 3 ladies travelling, $152. night, not happy and will not visit again.
It is very close to town centre
I really liked the contactless checking. The room was large but the heater didn’t work and we were cold. Also the bathroom needs an exhaust fan because everything was wet from steam and stayed that way for a very long time. I assume there’s horses nearby or some kind of animals because in the morning when we were packing the car it smelt like poo outside.
The aircon for heating is far less than enough for cold winter nights and there are not enough blankets. We were so freezing cold .
Convenient. Very dated.
Quiet and lovely outdoor areas
Nice stay , clean and friendly. Good for the price.
Property was a bit too far from town to walk.
One night
Clean and comfortable place to stay. I was running late and I appreciated the phone call to find out what time I would arrive. Situated on the edge of Swan Hill I was straight onto the highway the next morning. It was a good location for me.
The size of the room was fine and it was quite clean, however I found earwigs in my bed on 2 of the 3 nights I was there. Also there was a large group of people in multiple rooms on either side of us which kept us awake until 1.30am and we were unable to complain to reception as they were closed during the night. Although the noise is not the property owners fault, I think it is their responsibility to deal with this sort of issue.
Good thank you
Clean but wafer-thin walls.
Large but basic rooms
Large family room and clean. Basic facilities but good for overnight stay.
Quiet area easy to get into town. Room was clean basic needs in the room e.g. microwave, kettle and fridge.
it was OK it did the job it was handy to town due to COVID there was no Breakfeast service so could not
It was a very clean property. We enjoyed our stay as it was close to the Main Street in Swan Hill.
Didn’t like hearing the next rooms tv and radio Going late at night and early in morning. There was no sink in the little kitchen Heater didn’t work effectively
Repeat visitor = happy
Great little stop over motel. Clean, felt safe and ease of booking. Have stayed before, will stay again. Room is older but clean.
Nice linen and good basic services! Good location- not too much noise from passing traffic.
Property is neat and clean and well maintained. ....
Good value for money, new bathroom, full size fridge and large table
A knowledgeable and helpful friendly customer service
The shared kitchen is disgusting. Theyd be better off not even advertising they have this... it was gross. The toilet cistern must have a small leak as it kept filling all night n every time it did id wake up. The other customers were good at least. No shenanigans.
The room is spacious for the price. And it’s close to the city centre.
Overnight stay
Ok for an overnight stay. The notice on the bathroom mirror states there will be a laundry fee charged to your credit card if you get make up on the towels. I was a bit scared to use the towels 😬.
Budget accomodation
Good price for basic work accomodation. Not far from heart of Swan Hill. Always appreciate a microwave in a motel room.
Cheap stay for work!
Stayed a couple of times before, pretty consistent. Staff are helpful and accommodating with late check in requests. Basic stay, was one of the cheapest in the area. Could use a little revamp but good enough for an in and out business trip.
Good budget accommodation
For the price, I got what I paid for. Good budget accomodation for a quick stay. Could use a bit of an update in terms of style and things like - glass doors in shower wouldn’t close, bleach stains on carpet (still clean), faded framed prints on the walls.
Excellent
Very welcoming staff, clean facilities.
The owners were friendly and the property was very clean. Had a good stay.
Good room size. Fridge was very noisy we couldn’t sleep well because of it.
bad choice. charges for tissues!
shocked that they charged us $10 for taking the tissue and toilet paper with us as we were travelling. first motel that we encountered that they charge for complimentary things like that. owner mentioned that they have a big sign in the room but i never noticed it. definitely not a good choice. never again!
The staff at this hotel where lovely. The hotel and room however, are in a state of disrepair. For a very basic stay, we were comfortable enough. But if you want something special, this is not the place. Also quite a distance from everything and on the edge of town.
The motel wasn’t much to look at, and I was dubious when I pulled in, but the room we rented (Room 23) was in a very good, clean condition. Never judge a book by the cover. The hws wasn’t the best but we managed. We would use this motel again.
Quiet, comfortable and friendly
A great value short stay. Comfortable, clean and quiet despite the main road location. Friendly and helpful staff.
Older motel clean but it needs a refurb in the not to distant future
Not overly happy
Mould in bathroom, lampsx4 didn't work, hot water took forever to heat up, heater barely worked after I particularly requested one (we have a baby) microwave popped the powerboard... and failed to notify us that the power was being turned off in the morning... so had a screaming baby i couldn't heat up a bottle for and hungry older kids i couldn't get breakfast for... they did help me to organize breakfast for the kids and i but i dont think I'll be staying there again
Have stayed here before and it suits my purpose.
Close to points of interest e.g. main street, shopping and tourist attractions.
Not enough Blankets for bed that I could find. Had a very cold night even with heating on full and Electric Blanket on 3.
This motel is in a perfect location near the heart of the city of Swan Hill. It is clean, quiet and comfortable and the staff are friendly. I enjoyed my one night stay - the motel was booked out that night but I managed to get the last room through Wotif.com. I will definitely book at Lazy River Motel again when I am in Swan Hill in 2019.
Happy with cleanliness of room but I was extremely disappointed to realise a few days after our stay that they had debit $12.00 from my credit card without authorisation and I was never advised of any additional charges at the time of booking. I did not consume anything from the fridge besides 4 mini longlife milk for our coffee in the morning. I was going to contact the motel to ask for an explanation to their charge but I decided to let it go as I did not want this encounter to ruin my Christmas at the time. It was not the monetary value, it is the principle! You do not conduct business in this manner.
An easy to find older motel that has all the facilities for a comfortable overnight stay
Older motel but very clean and comfortable
Small yet cozy
It suited my needs which was just a place to stop and sleep for a night and then hit the road again, the bed was comfortable and the WiFi was an added bonus. I was traveling alone so it was plenty room, warm and cozy as well.
Unit was very tired. House keeping didn't make the bed at all over a five night stay.
Lovely quiet location and view of horses
Given it was Joan’s first experience in motel in her 76 yrs it was positive and everything we needed
Room was old....large cracks on both walls....four bed lights, not one working
Excellent Motel if on a Budget
This motel was the surprise packet of the trip. Nothing flashy from outside but the room was spacious, clean, lovely bed and bathroom linen and quiet. Decided to stay 2nights!
Value for money
Was in Swan Hill for work and required overnight accommodation. Found the room and bed comfortable clean and practical.
Decent place to stay
It was comfortable, affordable and a nice place to stay the night
Older type accommodation but very clean and tidy comfortable beds, quiet area and staff are helpful and friendly. Good value for the price.
Found cockroach in the room.
The bed is not stable, rolling wheel is not fixed. We found cockroach in the room.
Great value, very clean and comfortable
Great value motor in with good air conditioning and very clean and comfy
Basic but acceptable
Had beds and a bathroom which is all you basically need, but the decor was dated, the site was under construction in parts and looked in good need of repair & updating.
If desperate stay here.
Very old and dated. Would not stay again. People were friendly
Friendly staff waited for us to get there and value for money room
Comfy, conveniently located, friendly staff. Would recommend.
Great place to stay ! Great service happy to recommend to anyone.
Dated 70s motel
Good price point, you pay for what you get. Good size room, need updating. Airconditioning is noisy wont be able to use overnight with sleep.
Not happy with the accomadtion.
Rooms are old and shabby. Grounds overgrown. Nothing like their web site photos.
Old style motel, just out of town.
Not sure how the heating will b in July. The split system made a lot of noise but little else. Thankfully I had my hot water bottle with me
Would v bn good if wash basin was separate to bathroom & kitchen not shared . Especially for Hygen purpose..
Older motel not to far from town centre
clean room, air con not working on a hot day, was disappointing.
stay was good
experience wasvery happy some days very hot a bit hot to walk aroundat times
................................................................
Overall good. Quiet. Good hot water. Cheapest in town.
Very nice hotel
Hotel staff were very helpful in organising a last minute booking with late check in. Was very impressed with the room.
water pressure was not grea friendly service
Customer service
I arrived at 9.30 to book in having driven from Melbourne to attend a funeral No rooms were available at present so I walked back to my car with a map of the city area looking for a toilet block to change in As I was starting my car the manager came put and asked me if I could come back in half an hour a room would be ready for me as it was I was very grateful for the service given
Cheap accommodation for families
Great for over night stays or families wanting cheap accommodation
Staff were helpful and friendly, we visited people nearby.
Great overnight stop. Close to town. Walking distance.
Wonderful customer service
Comfortable beds/room. Noisy heater. Towels were hard and property had large pot holes. Staff were lovely and helpful.
Good sized room with all facilities
Was running a bit late and they called to ask when I was arriving. Left room open for us. Could use extra power points but that's nitpicking. It was perfectly fine.
Nice motel
Ckecked in, Staff friendly. Cleaned room every day.
Convenient and inexpensive hotel
An inexpensive hotel in a convenient location. We didn't expect a lot as we did choose a low price. It was appropriate for the price and the receptionist was helpful regarding recommended activities and places for meals.
Comfortable bed, good breakfast, free wifi
Entrance a little confusing with Big 4 right next door. Good that units are on ground floor. Surprised the beds weren't made for the second night.
quiet spot on the edge of the town.
I enjoyed my stay at the Lazy River Motel. I have spent a lot of time in hotel rooms and this one was very pleasant and the best thing is that there was not a strong smell of chemical or airfreshner in the room. I usually find this a problem and the strength of the fragrance overwhelming. The room was clean and tidy well set out the bed and linen was comfortable. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend this motel to friends or to stay there again myself.
We were disappointed in the grounds
It was disappointing when we arrived to find we were right on the outskirts of the town, and when we approached the motel we looked at each other saying well were only here for two nights. In saying that inside the room it was quite nice and clean. Had a little trouble with the wifi but that bother my son not myself. Didn't bother even going for a swim the pool was a above ground pool with a school fence around it, very disappointed.
No complications, room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Outside appearance left a lot to be desired.
Simple, clean, friendly, cheap.
A very simple, uncomplicated motel run by a nice person. The room was spotlessly clean, and had all the usual amenities (all of which worked). It is about one kilometre west of Swan Hill which kept the noise down. I never heard a truck once.
OK stay
good service...clean..location OK
IT was all OK
We stayed in a family room for a night in order to break a longer trip. For the one night that we spent there all was OK. The staff took initiative to arrange everything although our arrival was very late. Great!
Just what we needed
Was an overnight stay on our way thru. Clean and warm
This room was very untidy and small. Signs up everywhere that made you feel like a thief. Lots of damage inside the room. Will not stay here gain
