Well appointed kitchenette.

Nice comfortable bed. Well appointed room with all you would need. No road noise. Not much of a view from the rooms. Motel is within walking distance to major supermarkets, fast food and shopping centre. An easy stroll to the RSL for an excellent meal.

The accomodation at City Centre Motel was fantastic. Kempsey is quite a hot place so having acces to the pool for my daughter was great and having the air conditioner on in my room upon first walking in was very welcome. Everything I needed was in walking distance from Woolworths and Big W to the main street of town. If i return I will definitely be booking there again.

We had a fantastic stay at this property! Our room was spotless and thoughtfully designed, with an efficient layout that made it very comfortable. The location was incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the city center, supermarkets, and several takeaway food outlets. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a clean, well-located place to stay.
