Everything is new in this motel. The kitchen was fully equipped with a full sized fridge, oven and induction cooktop. The bathroom had a lovely shower and our 2 bedrooms had lovely new bedding. The host was very responsive to inquiries. My husband had a bad cough so having 2 rooms meant he didn’t have to worry about disturbing me in the night. We’d stay there again

Loved this property, we had enough room for everybody, each room had its own aircon and tv and we could also watch Netflix on their accounts, each room had their own account which was awesome if you didnt want to watch the same thing, the only thing they need is a clothes horse or clothes line to hang clothes after using their washing machine.

I recently had an unfortunate encounter with the Willowbank Motel. Interaction with Owners: The experience with the hotel owners was far from pleasant. Instead of being welcoming and understanding, I found them to be rude, self-interested, and inflexible. There was a noticeable absence of the 'human touch' that is so essential in the hospitality industry. Issue: We encountered an issue and as a result, chose not to stay at the hotel. Upon bringing up this issue, we were met with rigidity and indifference from the owners. They refused to offer any form of compensation or refund, choosing instead to retain the full amount of the reservation. Resolution: Despite our attempts to resolve the situation amicably, we were left feeling unheard and disrespected. In light of this experience, I find it difficult to recommend the Willowbank Motel to others. The handling of our situation lacked empathy and understanding, leaving a sour taste in our mouths. I believe that trust and respect are fundamental to a successful hospitality experience, and unfortunately, our interaction with the Willowbank Motel fell short in this regard.
