Town Centre Motor Inn

Merimbula|1.9km from Short Point Recreation Reserve
Let's start with the positives of which there were three. Firstly the water pressure of the shower. Secondly the location to local shops. Thirdly, leaving. The negatives are plenty. Let's start with the price gouging of staying at this hotel in that period between Xmas and NYE. At just over $200 a night this place is a rort for what you get. And what you get is a room that looks as though it hasn't been updated since the 1970's. Bed linen that was old and discoloured and am pretty sure if you ran one of those CSI blue lights over it would have revealed more than you would want it to. A solid beige theme runs throughout the room and extends to the crockery, the bathroom linen and the bathroom tiles. The crockery and utensils were dirty. The microwave looked very much like a first generation model of its type. Beyond a few louvres in the bathroom there was no ventilation. The walls were thin enough to listen to our neighbours snoring. The bed side lamps were bolted to the bedside draws (yes bolted) and given the tattered lampshades they represented a good example of a fire hazard waiting to happen. The 'cleaning' of the room entailed emptying the bin and making the bed as far as we could see. There was scum and dirt on the shower grouting and tiling. Who still uses blankets on the bed? There was a bedside radio embedded in the cabinetry that was a relic of the 1970's ......Overall I would strongly recommend avoiding an overnight visit to this establishment. In the film 'Casablanca' there is a line from Bogart who says ' There is always Paris'' . Well we now have ''There is always Merimbula' when we come to benchmarking future hotels and their standing in regards to quality, cleanliness and value for money. Town Centre has set the base.

Ocean View Motor Inn Merimbula
4.2/546 Reviews
It's on the hills with view of roof tops and distant water. Enjoyed the outlook. Location is fine, not far to everything, eg Wheelers is less than 10 min drive. We had an upper floor unit facing the view, but others will not get that. The units are probably from the 80s, but no complaints about condition and seemed clean and nicely presented. Kitchen and bathroom well- equipped, lots of good linen, even a corkscrew in the kitchen. Hot water pressure is good. Bathroom a good size. Slept well too, so bed comfortable. If you are comfortable this style, then recommended.
Lakeside Holiday Apartments Merimbula
4.5/522 Reviews
We've been visiting Merimbula for 10 years now, and this was our 4th stay at Lakeside. We look forward to our summer holiday every year, and know we'll be well looked after by the super friendly manager Matt, and so comfortable in the neat and tidy apartment which has all the mod cons. The lawns and gardens are just impeccable, and the pool always clean and inviting! And there's the tennis court and ping pong table for when it's not so sunny! Oh and the communal bbqs which you could literally eat off! You can't get a better location than this...the lake and beach right at your front door, and an enjoyable stroll into main street... Everything seaside holidays are made of! Thank you once again Matt, we can't wait to come back 😊
Black Dolphin Resort Motel & Apartments
3.8/55 Reviews
The breakfast is 10.5 Australian dollars/person. If you don’t bring breakfast, it’s a good choice to eat there. After all, I drive out. Many restaurants in the town are not open. I think this is quite good. The staff at the front desk are very friendly and comfortable The seaside can be walked in September. It may be a bit cool before the summer. It is very popular in summer. It is a holiday destination for locals. If you want to go in the summer in Australia, friends suggest to book early The second-row house where the front desk opens at the gate is easier to find
Pelican Motor Inn

In addition to the bath faucet fixed, it is not convenient to take it down to give the child a bath, everything else is very good, the old lady at the front desk also patiently gave the map for our reference, can close the store on Sunday
Tasman Holiday Parks - Merimbula
4.2/527 Reviews
It was the fist time that paid a deposit to find the nightly rate had gone up from $125 to $140. Previously other venues had increased their rates after I booked but locked mine in at the rate at booking time. The cabin was very clean and the furniture was all in good condition with a very comfortable main bed. The staff were friendly and helpful and there were a number of friendly people to mix with. A stroll of ten minutes would get you into town where a number of cafes, clubs and supermarkets could be found. This park was kept very tidy and has some great ammenities such as heated covered pool and spa, mini golf and basket ball rings
