Staff were helpful and friendly. Didn’t like the back door slide latch to lock. Should have a proper lock, since back into a side street. Outdoor grounds behind units unkept. Also Advertised in- room brochure that there was a Spa, but did not have a Spa on premises to use.

Liked how quiet it was and was clean the room, found someone's toothbrush on top of the shower on the corner but apart from that it was very clean , tv doesn't connect to internet even though it comes up to connect but the lady was very helpful and let us know to tune it and it will work just normal channels, couldn't use pool as wasn't very clean and it's 5 foot deep we found out when we got there so unsafe for our little one .. apart from that was clean, quiet and very helpful people

The shower is extremely dangerous and no hot water. The outside staircase is also difficult to manage. None if the down pipes are connected so with heavy rain the water just went everywhere.

We were given a different room to that which we booked. The room we had was downstairs so we did not have to haul our luggage upstairs. We appreciated this. Our room was quiet and very comfortable.

Check in was seamless and very friendly, however the condition of the room was poor, the blinds in the kitchen were mouldy the floor in the shower was very unstable and felt as if you were going to go through it. Bathroom itself was otherwise very usable beds were comfortable the kitchenette was well appointed and the staff were so very very nice.

The friendliness of the staff, especially the receptionist was incredible. Nothing was too much trouble. Because of circumstances, we arrived at 10am, and when I asked her if we could check in a little earlier than 2pm, she immediately offered us accomodation right then!!! Also changed us to a downstairs unit instead of the upstairs one that I had booked….much appreciated as we are elderly!!!

I was not overly happy with the room. The shower took forever to warm up, the pool tiles are all moving making it a bit unsafe when my son was swimming, the TV was so quiet I had to sit right in front of it to even hear it, and the room smelt really bad of old cooked meat, I was not overly impressed at all.

The Walton lodge was good value for money. It is a bit run down but it is clean and has most of what you need. The staff were really helpful and quickly fixed up anything that wasn’t right. Would recommend it for the budget conscious traveller.

The lady at reception was wonderful. In fact, she was the highlight of the stay for us. She was friendly, welcoming and lovely to chat to. Carparking onsite was awesome, we could park directly in front of the room. The living room was spacious but the furniture, particularly the centre of the 2-seat couch, kept sinking down below the base and we kept having to adjust the cushions and pulling them up so we could get comfortable. The bedroom was small, as was the bed. More like a king single.bed than a double. My partner opted to try and sleep on the couch/fold out bed.....and woke up sore. The fold out bed sunk in the centre, had a hard bar underneath the top third of the bed and it made a terrible noise when he moved or turned. There was no soap in any of the dispensers in the bathroom at all, luckily we had our own. When i showered, the bath/floor mat was completely wet and of no use. The coffee sachets were so old the granules had melted together and become hard.....you had to tear the packets open and pull the chunk of coffee out. There were other little things like the broken handle on the closet cupboard just dangling, the extremely slippery bathroom floor, really dangerous when wet, and only 1 large towel for each adult (consider that 2 adults showering at night and in the morning AND a pool onsite, so swimming as well) perhaps 4 towels would be better than having to hang/reuse our towels. At $150 a nightextra towels, soap and actual coffee granules seems fair.

Could get any wifi in the room, the curtains did nothing at all, and with a light right outside the room it would have been nice of the blocked out the light. The coffe sachets have obviously been in the room for a very long time because they were solid blocks, definitely just go buy one from town. There was no hand wash in the bathroom either

It was a good hotel for what we were after. Close to town. Check in was easy and nice staff. It was not until later when we realised that the bed linen had not been changed from the previous guests. We pulled back the bed covers and found items in the bed from the last persons stay

Response from Walton Park Motor Lodge on 9 Dec 2019
Sad to know you didn't enjoy your stay especially because of some misconception - the group of people you saw with Bikes were part of an annual Bike run. They are a very nice group who stay at this motel around the same time every year. Most of our guests are return customers and they chose to come back due to location and great accommodation.
