Campbelltown Colonial Motor Inn

This place should be bulldozed. The minute I walked into the so called reception I knew it was going to be a disaster . The lady at the desk appeared to be drug affected , the reception area smelt like there were dead rodents in the place . The place looked filthy and dirty . I was given the key to the room and drove to the unit block. I was scared to get out of the car. I walked up to my room , it was surrounded by pigeons and pigeon poop. I opened the door and automatically this awful smell came out of it . The place looked like a halfway house . I am not sure how booking .Com promote such a filthy /disgusting place . I automatically closed the door behind me and left . I was scared to stay there .

I stayed at this hotel for a night. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned properly, the fridge shelves were tape, rust over almost everything, all night into the early hours the people in the room next to us has music playing and tv on high volume whilst being loud themselves and because they walls are thin we heard absolutely everything. The only good thing was the pressure in the shower that I didn’t use because it was dirty.

The write up on line about The Colonial is a far stretch from the reality. The reviews are correct. We looked around and unfortunately there was not much available in Campbelltown for our dates. As it was, $730 for 5 nights was way above what we wanted to pay for that area. First of all I’d like to compliment the staff. They were lovely. The house keeping staff especially were very friendly and helpful. Our beds were comfortable and there was enough hot water. That’s about as good as it gets. I double checked there was wifi as my daughter works from her computer from 5am in the morning and then later at night. I was told there was wifi. There wasn’t. We were then told it was being fixed and it didn’t get fixed. So my daughter lost 2 days work and 2 days pay. We were not offered compensation in any way. The 2nd night we stayed there was some kind of deal going on in the car park. At 2am, arguing and fighting broke out in the room above my folks room and then 2 cars sat idling with their lights on for an hour and a half in the car park. Right outside my folks room. They are elderly so it was very unsettling. I watched from another room as baskets of washing were brought out to cars and then cars moved and people got out and In. It all seemed very dodgy and not what we needed on a family medical emergency trip. There was no cutlery or plates but a toaster and kettle. We had to buy a knife just so we could have toast. The rooms were very smelly and musty. We bought air freshener just to make it bearable for 5 days. If you had to stay In This area I’d recommend it for a night if you were stuck. But for the price it’s definately not worth it. I’ve stayed in 5 star beach accomodation that’s been cheaper than this. It is however close to shops and transport if that’s something you need.
