Breakfast Included!
I loved that breakfast was included in my stay! The service was prompt, and it was a nice touch to have a meal ready for me in the morning after a long trip. While the scrambled eggs could be improved, the overall convenience made it worthwhile.

Kardinia Park Motel offers basic accommodation that is clean but quite dated and pricey for what you get. The location is decent, particularly if you're attending events at the nearby Simmonds Stadium. While it’s not luxurious, it has its charm thanks to the friendly owner and the quiet surroundings, but definitely needs some updates to feel more inviting.

I had a fairly good stay at this motel. While it was definitely basic and showed some signs of age, it was nice and clean, making it a decent choice for a night’s stay. The staff was really welcoming, but the overall vibe of the place felt a bit neglected. It’s conveniently located near Kardinia Park, but some aspects need attention to truly enhance the experience.

The room was clean but had an older, shabby feel to it. It was quite dark and lacked proper lighting, but the bed was firm and comfortable enough for a one-night stay.

Situated right across from Kardinia Park, the location was convenient for accessing local attractions. It’s a bit tricky to navigate to the motel due to busy traffic, so be careful when driving.

I ordered breakfast but wouldn’t recommend it – the steak was tough and the scrambled eggs were dry. Next time, I’d head to town for something better.

My stay at this hotel had its highs and lows. The location is fantastic, right across from Kardinia Park, making it convenient for game days. The rooms were clean and tidy, but they definitely show their age and need some updates. The service was decent, and I appreciated having breakfast available, though the overall atmosphere felt a bit neglected. It’s a good option if you’re looking for basic accommodations without breaking the bank, but don’t expect anything too fancy.

The motel has a convenient location near Kardinia Park and some late-night cafes, which is definitely a plus. While my room was clean and the bed comfortable, the overall feel was rather outdated and lacked sufficient amenities. The pricing is reasonable, but the cramped conditions and limited parking are drawbacks that could deter larger families or groups.

The facilities feel neglected, with outdated furniture and limited offerings. Parking is particularly tight for anything larger than a small car.
