The Astor Hotel Motel

Location & Accessibility: Most rooms are conveniently located near shops, restaurants , and main streets, with some suites offering proximity to food outlets.

Stayed for 1 night for a sporting event with 12 yr old son. My husband had previously stayed with our children in the downstairs rooms and said they were clean, tidy and renovated. This stay we staying in a room upstairs, it had a walkway directly across from our door to the hotel itself. We were horrified once we opened the door. My 12 yr old actually stated he would rather sleep in the car. The room was in such a poor state. The single bed was actually on the floor, no wheels. Plastering had been done but not sanded or painted. The furniture looked like someone had been to Vinnies and bought very poor second hand stuff. We ****** it up as it was late check in and went to the team dinner, upon arriving back things got so very loud. There was music blasting from the Astor, when i called i was advised that they had a private function directly located in front of our room and "sorry it will be finished by 1 am ) after this at 1 am the guests from the Astor and the establishment across the road were yelling and carrying on after a great time. The bathroom has an open roof/cavity covered only by a plastic Grid so you heard "everything" i mean when they got a text message and when they went to the toilet from next door. We were beyond exhausted the next day, my son played sport all day and then a 5 hr drive home. We jokingly told everyone we were at the "Bates Motel" - But i guess that's our fault not realising how cheap and nasty it was. The shower is weirdly updated to a roof shower head then the soap holder right on that wall, you can't move without scraping your arm. So much space yet unusable. The towels smelled like Cigarette smoke also. The towel holder was broken. The only thing i must say is their cleaners- although the room is horrible, if you look past that all they must work hard to make things as clean as they were. I would only recommend this room to Tradies, as its really a shabby old pub room. It would have been nice for the pics to be realistic or be told the upstairs are pub style upon check in- not really nice for kids at all.

Great food but… order the Penne Lamb, beautiful until the chilli or spice used(not listed on menu) hit, what a shame to over power beautiful food with whatever it was. The presentation of food looked great, staff and venue are excellent. Stayed in rooms at motor also nice.
