The property was nicely set with lovely front garden. The shower in our cabin needs to be looked at. Very slippery and the taps made loud noises when turned on..

I had a modern looking, clean and neat room. The downsides were that the WiFi was not very reliable and I had a room facing the main Highway so it was noisy.

Good overnight option
We arrived late into Broken Hill & decoded on The Sturt solely based on the price on the Hotels app, however could have got a better drive up price. There was no one at reception when we arrived, but were easily contactable & quickly checked us in. The room was quite large, decent bedding, good heating & generally comfortable. The bathroom was large, but the shower set up did mean that a significant amount of water escaped onto the floor. The room lacked natural lighting. The motel is a bit out of the way & quiet, but not close enough to walk into Broken Hill. As we were heading off early next morning we only needed somewhere for the night & location wasnt a concern.

I was simply chasing a bed for the night after a long drive. It delivered perfectly on that. This venue is not a holiday destination however I don’t believe they try and sell themselves as that anyway. Checking in was cumbersome. Reception doors locked at 4pm as unattended. Rang the phone available next to the door to be told someone will be there straight away. After waiting 10 or 15 minutes I just happened to come across one of their staff members walking through the complex who was fortunately able to help me. Apart from the checkin process everything was fine and as expected for the modest price per night

Hi Ando! Thank you for your review! We do apologise for the delay in checking in. We do try our best in attending to all our guest and there needs. As we are now in our tourist season, It seems we may have been caught up with another guest while you were trying to check in. I will be sure to make sure our team are making guest checking in high priority to avoid this happening in the future. Thank you for your feedback and we hope you come and stay with us again in the future. Cheers Sturt Motel Team

Comfortable, Quiet Place on main road to Adelaide
Located on the main road from Adelaide, but not at all noisy from the road. Very comfortable, we also made use of the pool in the hot weather. A short 5min drive to the main street of town.

Great stay, very friendly and amenities.
Great welcome by duty manager. Turned on our heating and t.v....advised where we could get a late dinner. Room was spacious and great amenities. Only negative the toilet kept running as it kept my husband awake. Turned off water....sure just a quick plumbing fix will correct problem. Would stay again!
