Stopped overnight on way from Sydney to Gold Coast January 2013. Best Family room I've experienced. Paid $179 after a direct call to the Motel (Website showed same room for $209) so moderately pleased. Must say however, at $20 more than a 5 Star resort with abundant facilities, restaurants etc (Marriott surfers) for a basic motel, I'm not surprised our travel industry is having trouble.

I often travel to the Gold Coast and I'm amazed at the extremely competitive rates for what you receive. I'm involved within the analytics of the Motel Industry and have the opportunity to analyse motel businesses on the Eastern Board of Australia. The core cost of a smaller motel operation will always be higher than the bigger operations. We are doing our best to produce a product within our cost structure and sincerely thank you for your candid comments on your stay. We always negotiate our rates the best we can dependent on the situation at the time of booking.

We stayed in the family suite which sleeps up to 5. There are three single beds in the main living area and a separate double bedroom. A two way bathroom functioned well and was generally clean although there was some hair on the floor tiles. A kitchenette is also provided including a microwave. Free wi-fi, a small table, comfy tub chairs all added to the room functionality. A small balcony overlooked the grassed area to the front of the property. Our accommodation was not cheap, although we were there for one night only in early January and it represented good value for four of us. Parking is tight / limited, we ended up parking on the street which is a reasonably quiet residential street. The motel is out of the main town precinct and presumably quieter than some of

The Christmas holidays is our peak period and you will find that Port Macquarie is usually booked out from just before Christmas to around the third week in January. We apply our rack rate during this time and discount the rest of the year. There is no excuse for us overlooking hair in our bathrooms. An extra check will be carried out for this from now on. I do remember another guest mentioning this some time ago. It is now on the radar. Being the owner of the motel I visit it every month and always like to respond to your reviews when I’m there. You are assured of our total commitment in presenting the best we can do at all times even keeping up with the latest innovations to make your stay more enjoyable. We have just installed 3D TVs in our Prestige rooms.

This is my second review of this property - my first review was written four years ago, and we have just had our FIFTH stay at Aston Hill Motor Lodge. For the past 4 visits, we have stayed in a family room, but this time we decided to treat ourselves, and stay in an apartment. I just love this place, and now I love it even more! There's really nothing not to like about it, and we were extremely impressed with the 2 bedroom apartment that we stayed in. It is modern, tasteful, and extremely clean and tidy. Given my 'neat-freak' ways, it's important to me that a room is clean, and I definitely wasn't disappointed. The 2 bedroom apartment was perfect for our family of 4. I'm not sure who was more thrilled about our 2 kids sleeping upstairs - the kids or my husband and I?!

What can I say other than thank you. Over the 5 years you have witnessed the work and money we have invested in the property. Your review makes it all worthwhile. Our managers Judi & Richard joined us 8 years ago and moved on to manage larger holiday resorts. We enticed them to come back 3 years ago and they have passionately continued to improve the property during that time. I agree with you about the light problem in unit 6 and will attend to installing blinds. It is appreciated that you comment on your perfection for cleanliness. During this busy holiday period our housekeepers have wilted under high temperatures and humidity to produce I’m proud to say the perfect product which you have endorsed. I say again, thank you for your detailed review. We all look forward to seeing you and your family next year. Give us some notice so we can roll out the red carpet and place the wine on ice.

I have stayed here a few time over the years.. Have always found the rooms lovely and clean. Staff have always been plesant and very helpful. A man, the Manager, is a great asset to Aston Hill. He is the reason I choose to stay here when in Port. He even let me park my boat on a spot on the grass which was great. I'll be sure to stay here when I'm next up there!!

Our managers Judi & Richard Edmunds do go beyond the call of duty. The motel is an extension of them and their family who often help out in times of crisis. They are meticulous in keeping the motel at its continual high standard especially in the cleaning. All of us at the motel thank you for your comments and look forward to you staying with us again.

Endorse most of comments listed. clean friendly, well run. Not particularily cheap but we were staying over busy period. I think better deals would normally be available. I wouldnt confuse it with one of the better hotels that are in the area but feel sure that amongst the inn and motel offerings its in the top 10% in the area. Management really helpful and accomodating

One night stop over from Brisbane to Sydney. Booked a 2 bedroom room; queen bed downstairs with ensuite, 2 singles upstairs with own bathroom. Dining space upstairs as well. Modern facilities, very clean, air con upstairs, ceiling fan downstairs, small but great pool, secure garage space, quiet location. Short driving distance from town centre where friendly reception staff advised we go for a meal. Would definitely stay again.

Very friendly staff at reception. Very clean, well furnished and comfortable kitchenette room, with free wifi and modern TV. Easy driving distance to downtown and all the great beaches that Port Mcquarrie has to offer. Motel in a very quiet location, and the BBQ area was a nice extra. Second time we stayed here, and we would do so again.

On behalf of our resident managers Judi & Rick I really appreciate your comments endorsing the facilities we offer. Our Housekeepers should be mentioned because we have a cleaning/disinfecting program in our rooms which assures the most handled items in the rooms are treated to reduce exposure to micro-organisms. This does increase their workload, however your comments on the clean room is rewarding and justifies their attention to detail.

Called by chance after some disappointing offerings nearby, the reception was great, the room ultra clean and well equipped and to add to all that outside our door is an undercover sitting area with a six burner Bar b Q for the use of the residents and guests, free good WiFi and comes with everything you need

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Aston Hotel Port Macquarie with friends. Our room was spacious with kitchenette, and under cover BBQ area outside to sit & relax & socialize with our friends. The hotel is back from road & therefore no road noise.

This was a last minute booking. We had been driving in rain from Mount Tamborine and needed to stop for the night. Being 4.30p.m. we were lucky in getting the last apartment which was in a newly built (or felt like it) apartment. We were given a reduced rate, I guess because it was so late. This was very much appreciated. The apartment was fully self contained and just lovely. All needs catered for in the way of cooking. The bathtowels/linen/bedspread immaculately clean. Pillows really need to be replaced for comfy ones. Overall I would highly recommend this accommodation.
