Queanbeyan Motels

This used to be a Best Western and was quite good - no longer.. Restaurant used to offer breakfast - no longer. I sat on the room couch (which looked like something retrieved from the tip, having flaking imitation leather which stuck to my trousers and some transferred onto anything else I sat on). No microwave, no cutlery other than a teaspoon, 2 mugs, one wine glass. Then a permanently open window in the ensuite and quite a small shower stall. It's a real pity as this used to be my preferred business overnight stay motel in the region and I'm hopeful that another will fill the gap left.

Stayed in Twin Cabin #9 (3 people) to use our NSW Stay coupons. Canberra hotels don't take it. Not a great idea. - Clean and tidy - Good air-con - Good beds, very poor pillows - Overpriced for what it is (I suspect the coupons played a role here) - Noisy from the main road - Broken (unbearably noisy) fan in the bathroom - Not working porch light - Quite useless lighting - modern-looking bedside lamps way too bright and uncovered bulbs - ”Free'” BBQ wants a 1$ coin every three minutes or so. Go to the pub 200m away. - Automatic check-in system makes you to wait until 2pm to get in, even when you arrived not that early, at 1:35pm. I called them and they made me to wait for an SMS code to collect the keys while no-one was around and the cabin was ready.

Well cared for, exceptionally clean and great value for money. This budget motel was surprisingly good with friendly staff and great amenities. A good low cost alternative to pricier accommodation over the border when visiting Canberra but just a few minute’s drive away.

The room was fresh and clean with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Staff member was friendly and accommodating ensuring that I had everything I needed including extra milk, coffee, and tea. As an aged traveller the ground floor room was easily accessible. The bed was comfortable and the air-conditioning was easily operated for comfort. Cost of stay was reasonable. I would recommend a stay here. Even though there is no restaurant attached everything is supplied to enable heating and serving of food. The area is very quiet with little or no traffic noise

Absolutely fine for a quick overnight stay. Good location near the train station, pub across the street. A large Woolworths is nearby in case you need supplies. Check I was done via electronic panel next to the front entrance. The reception was closed so cannot comment on the staff. Room it's self was worn but perfectly fine. Although the floor creaked loudly. Kettle with tea, coffee and hot chocolate supplied. Along with some biscuits. Rooms on the upper floor had patio furniture out front of the rooms. The bathroom though had some dirt in the shower floor and tiles. A large crack running down the wall reflection of the age of the motel. Plenty of very hot water though with good water pressure. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash supplied. Above the sink there were 3 plastic bottles which I could only read one of labels so had no idea what 2 of them contained. They also had some weird sort of lids /pumps that made them difficult to open. Received a good nightly rate of just under $100 which was very good especially as it was a long weekend. All in all a perfectly adequate little motel good for a night or two while on a trip but wouldn't recommend as a base for an extended stay. Pets unfortunately are not allowed .

This is a hotel that I definitely wanted to use again. The location is very convenient. The room was clean and comfortable. I felt that the staff was well educated.

One of the worst cases of theft, bullying, abuse and intimidation that I have ever experienced as a hotel guest. And I travel often (and many motels would give me glowing testimonials). The owners effectively stole 900 dollars from me by accepting my 8 night reservation, then bullying me out as soon as they saw my face. I only stayed for 2 nights. They never offered a refund or apologized for their hateful, condescending speech and unprofessional conduct/bullying. My crime? Apparently I drove a little too fast out of the car park (yup - seriously - they threatened to kick me out because of this) and I complained about prolonged noise by gossiping staff. When I was exhausted from work and needed to rest, they knocked on my door, and physically intimidated me, speaking to me like a child and criminal (not like an adult and long-term customer). Some of the abhorrent things that they said to my face: ”You think that your 1200 dollars matters? We are fully booked out for this weekend. I gave you a discount for that room! (by the way, at 150 per night, there was no microwave and I didn't sleep well on the too-soft mattresses and pillows, so not good value anyway)” ”This is a motel. People will make noise. If other guests want to talk, they are allowed to! (I was referring to prolonged noise - and many good motels consider this a valid concern).” After they had intimidated me, the female owner said, tauntingly, ”Do I need to call someone for you?” Hey owners - if my 1200 dollars isn't worth anything to you because you are fully booked out all the time, why don't you give me my money back? Many hotels consider me an outstanding guest - I am quiet, mind my own business and am financially sound. Like I countered to them: ”Have I done *****? No. Have I done alcohol? No. Have I painted the room? No.” They threatened to kick me out because they are domineering, controlling personalities who don't like it when clients have a point and defend themselves. I strongly advise against pretty women staying here - and don't book a week-long stay here, because they'll just make up an imaginary crime, bully you into leaving and not give a refund. The behaviour of the owner makes me even more disgusted and ashamed of this country. Bullying and abuse is not right.

If you like looking at yourself in the mirror, this motel is for you. Apparently lots of mirrors are a decoration feature at this motel - there were heaps of them in the room I stayed at last year and plenty of them in this last room. That bit of weirdness aside, this is a great place to stay. Friendly and very helpful staff, really clean room with all the necessities, and an excellent breakfast included in the price. Good stuff. The only other things I'd mention is that the place could do with some maintenance (a tap was broken in the last room, and a drawer fell off its runner in this one), and the air conditioners are rather dated. They work very well - no complaints there - but they're rather old-fashioned. Overall, though, I have no hesitation in recommending the Grand Manor Motor Inn. Unless you have a problem with mirrors.
