Find the Cheap Battery Hill Hotels

Upon checking in, the foyer and reception area smells like cigarettes. One thing I can compliment this hotel on are the staff at check in who were very friendly and helpful. The room itself is very dissapointing. The carpet is dirty, the air con is only in the living room which just simply does not reach the bedroom. The fan in the bedroom creaks. The bed is so old you can feel the springs and it is almost like a trampoline. You would almost consider sleeping on the couch. The toilet is at the end of the hallway in the bedroom with NO DOOR. The shower head is so clogged the water kind of sprays everywhere except on you. The soaps and supplied shampoos, etc are fine and there are enough towels and linens. The room is however, sad and dated and simply depressing. The curtains are filthy and have holes in them. From 5am a dog, presumably somewhere in the complex, was barking non stop till 7:30am. It was loud and noisy, hot and humid. I felt really uncomfortable in this hotel. People live here, and you almost feel like an intruder and they watch you and look at you like you are a criminal on their property….! It’s an unusual, gloomy place and I would not stay here again.

We chose this Motel as it was the only accommodation in this area where we needed to stay that was pet friendly. With that said we enjoyed our 2 night stay, the room was well presented and clean.. No doubt the style of room is typical of those older motel rooms you see in the movies but its presented in a way that gives it a more modern day feel.. The location of the motel is brilliant being only a block back from the beach, waterfront cafes, beach front parks and walkways. Best for us right there is also the off the leash beach for dogs just perfect.. The motel is on a main road and corner of Moffat Beach that is quite busy so we thought it could be a bit noisy for sleeping. But for us we had a great nights sleep which could have been due to the very comfortable bed but more likely the travelling and chasing our dog up and down the beach. If there was a down side for staying at this motel it would the car parking is extremely tight and the walls of the motel are a bit thinner than motels built today so you can hear a little bit of noise from other rooms.. But you pay for what you get...

Hotel location is good, very close to the beach. Parking is also very convenient. The interior of the room is fully equipped and the layout is reasonable. You can sit on the balcony to see the sea.

I went for a short getaway with my mother to ULTIQA Shearwater. We were met with friendly staff at the hotel who were extremely accomodating by ringing us when our room was ready so we could check in earlier. This was greatly appreciated. We requested an ocean view room in advance and our request was met. We were on level 6 in what looked like a newly refurbished room. The room was clean and comfortable with an outstanding view!! The breakfast included is only a small amount of options but I think the meals it’s self are generous and had a good range. We really enjoyed our stay and would come again. . The staff were wonderful, the room was great and the location was outstanding.

Booked in April, 2 weeks after booking renovations started, was not advised of renovations until 3 days prior to stay, was advised work was only Monday to Friday, they started work at 6am Saturday morning. No access to pool or BBQ facilities, no offer of compensation or anything.

Great location walking distance to the plaza,Woolworths,McDonald’s and the Main Street. And is attached to a great tavern for meals. The shower was beautiful the room is modern and clean. Having a swimming pool would be great in the summer ( to cold for us this stay) Lots of parking available and it was quiet. Would stay again it’s great value for money. The only thing is check in is inside in the dining area, there is a reception area that was unattended I had to go to the bar and ask but they got somebody to come quickly.
