Waterfront Lodge Motel

+ Room location and cleaning is Nice and set up and views outside were beautiful,

- but no WiFi password mentioned and comfortable chair for sit and work... Bathroom tiles should be clean... And bathroom sink out of order. Rest all nice.

+ The bed was great and the heater.

- It wasn’t a motel room. The room was in a cottage at the back of the motel. Staff just pointed at the path and said to follow it. Not what was advertised.

+ Nice and clean

+ Convenient location

- Room was a very poor standard for the price. No working heater and it was freezing. Found another heater outside the room but the plug had been cut off. Bedclothes way too thin for Hobart. Sheets clean but quilt was smelly and stained (no quilt cover). The only blanket we found was covered in blood and other filth, cigarette burns, etc. We had to sleep in our jackets to stay warm. The bed was rock hard and I had to climb over my partner to get to the bathroom. The bathroom was also not clean. The wallpaper was stuck back on with sticky tape. There was no sound insulation and the front door is permanently open so it didn’t feel very safe. It was also extremely draughty and noisy due to blinds etc blowing in the wind. Would have liked to chat with management about all this but reception was conveniently closed until 10am and we left before then.

+ Bed, bathroom clean, Indian restaurant nearby fantastic. Friendly staff. Part of the view was beautiful...boat, wayer

- Rubbish by back door of building, no Spa with no notification, noisy trucks in morning...garbage?

+ Great location, easy distance to the city and other suburbs

- More parking spaces would be good. The communal kitchen needed a good clean.

+ Waterfront lodge is excellently located to highway without noise, local amenities and attractions, 5 minutes from Hobart. Staff are friendly, supportive, and helpful. Its situated close to the Waterfront and its a beautiful walk around the water with a mountainous back drop. The retro colours of bright orange and turquoise are like being cast back to a Get Smart episode.

+ Disappointed that the pool was shut down. We were not told at booking

- We had a problem with out fridge it was working and water over floor.

+ Price. No refund offered on 3 out of 4 nights booked.

- Shocking view from our window of an unkempt vacant site with an old car, partially hidden through high weeds etc. No reception desk, need to chase down the manager. Need a key to access the building, good idea if the key and lock worked easily. Then not an employee in sight. We stayed the first night of 4 nights booked. Had a family emergency and left early next morning, unable to secure a refund even though we informed the manager on the first afternoon in

+ Nothing.

- The property is not well maintained. The grass, weed on the way to the cottage is not value for money. The rooms are not well maintained.... this place needs a general maintainance, particularly the cottage. The sitting place outside or at the entrance is not usable...it is not clean. There is a swimming pool/ BBQ - but the place is dirty.

+ Close to where I need to be

- Had to ring & wake you someone to access the keys - should provide an after hours key access.

+ Good location

- Only the lower level of the building, only a small common area

+ It was comfortable and clean. The attendant was lovely

- Good for what we paid so no complaint
