Chelsea Motor Inn

The smell of the room was really bad. No security lock on the door. TV & Wi-Fi did not work at first. Overall room was dirty and smelly. The bed while not comfortable was clean and crisp. They charged us for a family room of which it was. The price for the room was $350 I think. I asked for pension or ex military discount and they reduced the price to $280 for the night for two people. The place is run down and at such exuberant prices I do believe they need to clean it up. Broken toilet roll holder, loose toilet seat. When the vanity cabinet got opened a cockroach ran down the hole next to the sink pipe. Boogers on the main bed head. Just check the pictures attached. I am sorry to the owners for such a bad review. But I do have to be honest. Would I stay here again. That would be NO.

BEWARE Good reviews were in 2016!!! Stayed here Dec 2023 because there was no where else in Coffs available - should have kept driving to Grafton! Cockroach squished on the toilet wall - not removed by Manager as he said he would, when requested 5 hours ago. Needs a MASSIVE clean Flaking paint on ceiling and cornice Dirty grimy shower - sludge in the tracks Fan in toilet not working Security latch - BROKEN Door very difficult to open with the key!!! Next door struggled to open their door also. Smoke Alarm in ceiling half removed Nothing in fridge... no milk or a water jug and not defrosted. TV sits in front of the mirror!! Internet password doesn;t work - NO FREE INTERNET!!!! Smokers table outside door Privacy curtain missing Office supposed to be open till 9pm - was closed and locked up when I went to complain AGAIN about the cockroach at 7.15pm I could go on. Depressing Keep driving. Worst $363!!!!! ever spent.

Ok for a cheap one night stay over , the bed and bedding looked clean, fresh white sheets and the bathroom looked ok. However the motel reception looked like a bomb had gone off crap on every flat surface, in the room the kettle top was thick with dust and crumbs in the microwave didn't instill you with confidence as to general tidiness. My biggest issue however was the fact it is right on the Pacific Highway to a point were you thought trucks were driving through the bedroom, worst nights sleep on our months tour. But end of the day we paid 120aud , 60 quid so you get what you pay for I suppose.

Room 29 needs urgent attention. Guests’ health at risk. Had to leave early but emailed concerns to property. No response. Bathroom tiles and shower cubicle were not cleaned. Exhaust fans, aircon and ceiling fan were covered in dust and grime. Refrigerator was not on, there was mould in freezer, and the jug was dirty. I booked a Deluxe Queen room but got a family room right on the highway with lots of heavy traffic noise. I am sorry I booked the Chelsea and will never return.

this motel would have to be the dirtiest unclean motel i have ever stayed in the smell in the room was unbearable so bad i had to keep the exhaust fan all the time . the price $250.00 per night way over the top for what it is no breakfast the shower was the worst i have seen don't ask for soap it was 1 of the smallest cakes I have ever seen overall this motel would be last place in coffs harbour to stay in this motel is price gauging

I booked a Family Ground Floor room at the Chelsea Motor Inn, Coffs Harbour in November 2022 and was grateful to get somewhere we could stay for 1 night as a break in our drive up to Brisbane to visit family. I was also happy to get a ground floor room, as I have a disability where my mobility is lessened due to surgeries to my feet. I also find it difficult to walk up a flight of stairs. Our stay at the motel on December 27, 2022, started out on a bad note. We arrived to find that the family room which I had booked on *********** was being renovated (and had been so for 3 months!) A few angry words were said by my partner. The owner mentioned that he had contacted *********** about it. Why didn’t they contact me about it? They deducted $160 off our bill. The owner offered another room upstairs and we reluctantly took it as we knew that there weren’t many vacancies in Coffs Harbour, let alone for one night. My partner helped me to get up and down the stairs. The room was average, but we were only staying for one night. The kids were happy as they had their own room. The mattress on the queen size bed was something that I can liken to a sunny side up egg - cooked on the outside and soft on the inside. My back felt the pain the next morning. We hit the road for Brisbane and stayed for a week with family. While in Brisbane I rang the Chelsea Motor Inn to confirm that the room that I had booked in November was ready for our stay when driving back to Sydney. The person I spoke to on the phone said that it had. Our Brisbane holiday was complete, and we drove back to Coffs to stay the night. And yes, the room was available… newly renovated. It suited us for the one night. Negative aspects of the room: • even though we used the air conditioning, the ceiling fan had an immense amount of visible dust • no mirror in the bathroom, or anywhere for that matter • the noise of the trucks and 'hoons' along the highway Positive aspects of the room: • the supply of plates, cutlery, glasses etc for our dinner (we had very minimal supply in our last room) • the owner came to our room after we had checked in to apologise to us about the last stay In total, we spent $1160 on our accommodation. I understand that tourism places are wanting to get people back travelling but after experiencing this at an average motel, I will re-think our future trips.
