Bateau Bay Hotel

Room too dim.

Good for an overnight night sleep when you are travelling but no restaurant on side.Poor amenities only soap provided.

Yes, the price was reasonable at $81 for a hotel room per night but it was noisy and I got woken up at 1am by rowdy people in the car park and then I got woken up a second time at 5am by people having a long, loud conversation in the car park. There is no dedicated parking if you are staying at the hotel and at busy times the car park is almost at capacity (although you can use gravel overflow parking at the rear) and you may need to carry your suitcases and things 100m or so across the car park to your hotel room. The hotel rooms were hard to find with no large clear signage on the building that you can see when driving past. There was no signage for reception, which turned out to be in the adjoining bottle shop - so I wasted time finding the place, parking and then lugging my stuff a long distance in a couple of trips to the room. Then after a 2hr drive to get there, I had to go to the supermarket and waste time and money to buy shampoo and conditioner, as it's not provided. There is no quilt, just a thin blanket between 2 sheets, so you need to run the heater all night to keep warm - very environmentally unfriendly and yet more noise. BYO hairdryer. The staff are friendly and the shower pressure is great, but the bathroom ceiling is covered in heavy mould - so that can't be good for guest's health. Because it's attached to a busy pub and there are random guys sometimes standing around in the car park smoking or loitering, I didn't feel safe as a female travelling alone (even though it may actually be safe, I would have preferred a stand alone hotel/motel).

Easy going friendly staff

The stay was good for the price I paid.

We had dinner at the hotel, we ordered the seafood plater for two and all of it was COLD even the chips. The service heat lamps were not on or not working. Hopefully next time it will be better.
