I read a lot of reviews before booking here, and I have to say this motel was okay to stay in. We have driven from Melbourne to Queensland many, many times, and this is definitely not a one-star motel. The location is two-sided, it was a 10-minute drive into Gosford to get food on the evening we arrived (which is not really an issue for us), but in the morning you are much closer to the Pacific Highway for the onward trip. We were contacted to see what time we'd be arriving which was 5.50 pm, and the most delightful man greeted us. He said he was waiting for us as we were the last check-in, and we were very grateful for that. We dropped the keys off in the key box in the morning as we were leaving before reception opened. We had two rooms, one for us and one for our son with his dogs. Our room was large enough, with a newish carpet, clean, with a fridge (plenty of milk for a tea drinker - thank you) and a microwave. Everything worked and the shower was fine. Our son's room was tiled (good for dogs) and a tad smaller with a small table and chairs while we had a desk with two chairs. His room was a bit noisy since it was near the entry stairs (outside) to other rooms, but that is not really avoidable without changing rooms and the motel was very busy. The bed gave us a good night's sleep and the pillows were fine, linen was clean. This is not a new motel and is clean and has everything you might need, so expectations should be reasonable. It was absolutely fine for us compared to many other one-star places we have stayed in on previous trips.
