Excelsior Motor Inn

Goodnstay

Good service, located conveniently near the centre of Port Macquarie. The facility is however dated, and needs to be refurbished.

Great price, very well located. Rooms and facilities are a bit tired, but you can't beat what you get for the price.

Bathroom is dated, but functional. Room was spacious. We arrived very late at night so parking was tight, but plenty of parking on the street if needed. Perfect for an overnight stop over on a long road trip.

The strong aroma of spicy Asian cooking filled the reception office. Parking was fine. The gutter above the steps was still dripping from early morning rain, creating a slip hazard. It seems to have been some time since they engaged a painter. On entering the room, I was almost knocked over by a damp, musty smell. The interior was tired, carpet had stains, and the whole place was in need of maintenance. I was running late for a dinner so left and consoled myself with the thought that it was just for the night before I went to my conference hotel (Rydges). While at dinner my phone rang...Rydges wanted to know when I was checking in...seems the conference organiser had booked me in and forgotten to tell me! Saved! I went back, got my bags, and left, avoiding an unpleasant nights sleep. Oddly, I never got a call from Excelsior wondering why I hadn't uaed the room. Definitely needs their star rating amended...doen to a 1.
