Our stay in Tamworth was such a pleasant experience. The hospitality at the motel was exceptional country service. Friendly, polite and very welcoming. The room itself was everything you need for an overnight stay. Good quality room, clean but the fridge wasn’t getting cold but we didn’t need it at the time so not a problem for us but maybe for the next person. Easily recommend this place for anyone passing through.

The staff were excellent - friendly and courteous. The room itself smelled a little like a damp mop, but I would put this down to the humid conditions during my stay - there may be value in cleaning the AirCon unit. I was asked my email address so the Tax Invoice could be delivered, and then within 24 hours I had received 4 unsolicited emails from Best Western & the hotel. One of these was received after I had asked the hotel to stop sending them. I had to remind the hotel to send the Tax Invoice,

Traditional comfortable motel, which was great for a one night stay. Good bed in a ground level room. Friendly staff. We didn't eat at the restaurant but had heard it was good. It is on a main road, but we couldn't hear any traffic noise.

Room heating did not work. They offer a room change but they managed to get heating working aftet a while. Bed was clean, but was made up in very strange manner forcing us to remake the bed ourselves to even being able to get into bed. Wanted a cup of tea/coffee but no cutlery except a single knife, no teaspoon, and the tea/coffee/sugar sachets just enough for one cup each, and were not topped up when room serviced. When we returned the next day for a booked 2nd night, we were locked out, forcing yet another trip to reception. Had stayed at this property previously, and quite happy then, but thus stay will give us 2nd thoughts of staying there again. Staff reasonably helpful and friendly, but other issues forced a poor rating. Overall not a good experience.
