Wangaratta Motels

Stayed here for one night. Convenient location, clean room and comfortable bed. Easy on-site parking as well.

Lovely setting on the outskirts of town but close to a supermarket. Lovely grounds and trees. We were in one of the individual lodges so it was quiet. Not one attached alongside or above. Included breakfast was all we required to start the day. Price was very fair. The unit was modern, clean and well kept. TV good. Very little road noise. Aircon/heater worked well.

Firstly we are keen travellers and so to make a serious complaint is a first for us but patrons need to be aware of this establishment. We stayed from the 9th to the 12th June 2020. Our booking was through Agoda and also paid for in advance. Agoda have been contacted and are dealing with this concern as well. We have no complaints regarding Agoda. When we arrived it was late in the day, and soon after arrival we went to purchase some dinner which is why the condition of the room was not noticed immediately. That night the portable heater was not working and we could not open the wardrobe. Upon further inspection the room was dirty, mouldy and the bathroom was disgusting. The photos show the mould in the room on the shower curtain and in the shower. On the day after our arrival there was no housekeeping, bed not made. We couldn't open the wardrobe so had to ask for a key. We were told people take the keys which is why there is none there. When we finally got it open, it had dirty mouldy rags in the bottom and smelt. We complained and we're told the housekeeper must have missed it. It hadn't been cleaned for a long long time. Considering the CoVid virus the room should have at least been sanitised. The room is advertised with Foxtel channels. There were none. When we asked he said that they hadn't connected because of the CoVid virus. The light by the bed, globes had blown. There was no way the room had been cleaned as required by general health restrictions alone. To top it off when they did come to make bed and change towels, they actually went to our luggage which was on the floor as we had nowhere to put our clothes or belongings and took out a roll of our own toilet paper from our personal shopping and put it in the bathroom. I hate to think that they went through our other possessions. I do know that some other items were touched. I know that this is not the standard Hotel/Motel Accommodation Agoda is known for which is why we book with them which is why we complained and requested a full refund of the accommodation cost. The cost is one issue but the cleanliness of the room is another. I believe that this needs to be taken further with regards to them not just going through our luggage but also the unhygienic state of the room. This poses a huge health risk for future patrons. We complained to the management of Millers Cottage Motel at the time but their attitude was unhelpful to say the least. Following our complaint lodged with Agoda 5 days ago they still have not had a reply from Millers Cottage Motel despite contacting them several times. You may ask why we didn't move accommodation we would have except we had already paid and as pensioners could not afford an extra cost for 3 nights until later in the week. I am attaching photos for you perusal so as to confirm what I have also explained. I hope that something can be done to protect other patrons from having to encounter this dreadful and unsafe state of this

The owner’s were very friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean and well equipped. Despite being located near a busy road, the traffic noise was minimal. We found the bed to most comfortable and there was a choice of pillows. The chairs were also great to relax in after being out all day. The motel was an easy 10 minute walk from the town centre and many eatingvenues.

Lovely place to stay. Rooms were a good size and very comfortable. Had a range of most welcome bits and pieces, toaster, microwave, adjustable air conditioning, comfy beds and excellent pillows. Shower were awesome as was the wonderful service and greeting on arrival. So helpful and considerate, changed my room from upstairs to ground floor as I had to lug around quite heavy camera gear.
