8.0“Clean Comfortable Lodgings in a friendly town”
+The Ironbark Motel became an emergency stop over that ended up being for 2 nights due to our vehicle breaking down and waiting for a part before moving on to our other destination. The bed and room were very comfortable, clean and suited our purposes. Chi Chi the manager was very welcoming and helpful. We especially wanted to thank him for allowing us a very late checkout when our car was finally fixed around 2pm. Incredibly generous of him.
−Nothing I can think of.

4.0“I decided not to stay; I drove through the night instead.”
+The street was nice.
−The pool was green. The restaurant had been closed for a while. The place was poorly built & maintained; the fridge shelving was taped together, the curtains had holes. No quilt, no bedside lamp or light switch close by. The bed was saggy & sheets crumpled. Crockery & cutlery were dirty. No detergent or tissues. The exhaust fan was filthy. Old.

1.0“Don’t stay here! I wouldn’t come back.”
+Nothing!
−To start the bed was horrible. Old spring bed which had collapsed in the middle. So soft and had to sleep half out to stop from rolling into the middle. Miss matched horrible sheets that were old and scratchy. Didn’t sleep and was cranky the next day. Told owner I wanted a refund and he admitted the beds need replacing but I had to fight it out with booking.com. Air con was loud and not efficient. Couldn’t run it over the hot night. No fans. Advertised restaurant and pool. No restaurant. There was a pool but it had very little water in it. The whole room was mismatched with no guest consideration at all. Thank heavens we were only there for one night.

1.0“Will not be recommending this property. Very poor condition b”
−The floor boards are coming apart. Pinched my foot and my foot got stuck in the floor boards. The shower head is broken and sprays water into your eyes the roof and covers the toilet and the floors. The ceiling is sagging and full of water and the floor is soaked. The shower is covered in mould and not clean at all. The bathroom bin had no liner. The bed sagged when you sat on it. There was a random toilet roll on the floor next to the bed. The aircon smelt mouldy and barely worked. The laundry half washed the clothes and the dryer ate up many pairs of undies covering them in oil and chewed holes in them. The pool was full of toads. The overall presentation of the property was poor and very un kept.

3.0“I was happy to only spend one night at this place because or the strong chemical smell.”
+The bed was very comfortable and staff was very friendly.
−The room had a very strong chemical smell. We were unable to leave the sliding doors open because there were no mosquito screens and we could see several dead bees on the floor. We kept stepping over them and squishing them. The room was not very clean, it felt very dusty.

8.0“good for a over night stay.”
+After reading the reviews for this motel I was not expecting very much. I must say I was surprised. The room was large and clean. The bathroom was very aged but clean. The shower was great. the bed had a topper so made it very soft.
−The bed was good, but the bedding let it down big time. The sheets were rough, didn't fit the bed and there was only a blanket, no doona or cover. It was also not walking distance for me to the main street and shops.
