Well this guest could not check in due to not being able to provide... The credit card used to book the reservation must be presented by the cardholder at check-in along with matching photo identification.This is a bank requirement in order to stop fraud.

I didn’t end up staying there because the woman was so rude I booked into the Ulladulla harbour motel instead and they were just wonderful. Let me check in at 12. It was worth loosing my money. Would not recommend it to anyone

False and Misleading Statement of Facts.I answered the phone to you during my lunch break. I noticed a heightened abrupt tone in your voice when you asked to check in at 9:30am. We are a very popular motel where guests tend to hang around and enjoy the panoramic Sea View.So I explained that Guests are still vacating their rooms until 10:00am. Then the cleaners start. Because you booked through Wotif. The correct protocol is to send me a message through Wotif for changes to your booking. Then I would look into options available to you.Your reply to me was in a heightened abrupt tone and your words were not very nice. This behavior towards staff will never be tolerated. Because you were so abusive and upset with my reply. In the middle of my meal I sent you a generated letter that had three different options for you that would work. I received no reply for days so I then reached out to you via Wotif to try to help you.Then a few days later I received a response that you had booked somewhere else.Instead I receive a False and Misleading Statement of Facts Review. All the communications are recorded in the Watif message center.

A step back in time. This hotel is old but extremely clean and comfortable. Has everything you need. The only thing I could really fault was the lighting, fluorescent tubes without a cover and no bedside lamp. Other than that, ecxcellant.

Michael, thankyou for your review. In future stays, we recommend you book the room with your own credit card, to avoid raising many flags in the check-in process. It's imperative that you read the booking confirmation where this information is made aware to you, including check-in times which you unfortunately disregarded. Additionally this information is also made clearly visible prior to choosing to book with us on the booking page.

Contrary to the negative review(s)/comment(s) that I have read about this property, I personally found out that their staffs are friendly and easy to talk with - not rude, as what others said - and their service (maintenance) is really quick. We found out that the light in the toilet is not working, so I sent them this message, and they responded within 5 minutes. Although the property is not new, but for the price that we have paid, it exceeded our expectations! Furthermore, the ocean view at sunrise is another plus - very relaxing indeed! Thank you so much Rachelle & Graham.

After offering you a full refund you would not leave. As you said, ''you were too exposed''. Because the room you booked did not suit your special needs we moved you to the most private hiding place that we call sleepy hollow. Then you smoked in a non-smoking Motel outside your open window on the terrace under other guests' open windows who complained about the smoke so I had to tell you to smoke 10 meters away. There were at least 12 cigarette buts in one evening that I cleaned up.

A little dated but clean. Host was friendly and noticed immediately basics where missing and replaced them. Didnt discover milk was off before using the following morning so no way to allow host to know. Maybe something that could be monitored better. Pool not in use which was disappointing but not a deal breaker. Nice little through motel/ hotel. Doea what it says on the tin.

I paid over $1,000 for 9 nights and this was my experience. The owners are planning to build an apartment complex where the motel is. Which means they have no interest in the upkeep and maintenance of the current building. There are bugs everywhere. You will wake up with insect bites all over your body. The bed is extremely uncomfortable. The air conditioning rattles loudly and keeps you up at night. The bathroom and shower is full of mould. The shower pressure is non-existent and there is no way to adjust how hot the shower is.. either cold or boiling hot. Of course you don’t expect luxury from a hotel in this price range but this was truly something else. The owners are extremely rude and entitled people. There are so many other hotels on the same street for the same price and you won’t have to put up with any of their nonsense. I would seriously avoid this place unless it’s the only thing available.

Conveniently located to all amenities, very clean and well equipped. Fabulously comfortable bed. Good value for money motel with everything I needed for my five day stay. A couple of minor issues: the on/off button on the TV remote didn't work; and the fan in the bathroom was very noisy. Also, inconsiderate neighbours reverse parked their cars despite signs on every room asking them not to!

Mollymook Ocean View Motel Management advises all future guests to read the Special check-in instructions and important information that you need to know and we should mention. Please note that cultural norms and guest policies may differ by country and by property; the policies listed are provided by the property and the amenities, guest services supplied. Designated smoking areas (fines apply). Sharlene did not read these or follow the listed House Rules, Check-in hours/procedures, Terms/Conditions. Unfortunately Sharlene and her partner arrived 1.20 hours too early, and could not provide the Credit card they paid with so I then had to refund and process the payment again. Due to the merchant policy combating fraud which requires us to verify the guests name on the Credit Card that they booked with that matches their face with there name on their ID and official address. They thought they could smoke outside their room instead of at the allocated-smoking-tables even after being informed by management they still proceeded to smoke outside their room, upsetting and affecting other guests' fresh air. Butts in the garden and there is nothing worse than being woken up with second hand smoke wafting into your bedroom window.
