Avalon Motel

the location to the city centre was excellent. room was fairly clean but badly needed painting ,paint was peeling of the walls and ceiling,not anything like the pictures on the website.had i been driving past looking for a motel i would not have even stopped to inquire. the front garden was poorly maintained and both driveways were in bad need of repair. we only stayed because we had prepaid and no time to look for something else.

the whole establishment was in very bad disrepair and nothing like website photos,excellent beds

The "food and drink"was the usual sweet biscuits in wrappers and a selection of teabags and coffee tubes. Cups & cutlery, The property was tired and aging badly. Driveway was up a steep curving bitumen pathway pitted with holes, The room I was allocated had a comfortable bed with adequate bed linen; the bathroom was in need of upgrade, the tv and its' reception was good, I slept soundly. I did not meet any staff members whilst there, As a comparison, I have booked four different accommodation sites thru yourselves this time; two were $80+, one was a B&B (excellent for $120 p/n) and the last motel, when I stayed with them several months ago, charged $98 and included a $15 buffet cooked breakfast and I was entirely satisfied with their service then, and expect the same tomorrow evening.

Avalon Motel is old and jaded, It is the second time I have stayed there and was again happy to accept the solitary photo of the double bed and coverlet, That was really the winner, after that things only deteriorated. I must be more careful next time I go for a drive thru Mt Gambier.
