Rest Point Motor Inn

Years ago my husband and I stayed with my late parents at Rest Point Motor Inn at Glen Innes so when we needed to find accommodation in Glen Innes at the end of June we decided to once again stay there. While the staff was as friendly as before the motel is showing signs of age both in appearance and facilities.

Old and outdated. Reception smelt like dogs. The bed was very comfortable , linen was clean. Tile on bathroom floor missing with tape over it. Mould and grit around edge of shower. Restaurant was under repair so had Togo elsewhere to eat Internet was pathetic

We had stopped here as a planned overnight stop as part of our trip. Being a group of 6 it wasn't easy to find something. We had got one of the rooms out the back with 3 beds in 1 room and another with a large bed and a lounge so that worked for us. We had got in super late, close to 11pm due to getting held up and were up and gone again before office had opened to continue with our trip. It looked to be an older style room but we found it clean and well setup. Towels and linen were soft and clean, bathroom clean and slept well in bed. Could not hear road from our room. Grounds looked clean and pool looked nice at a glance but we really didn't have much time to take advantage of the facilities. Staff I spoke to on phone and briefly on the way out seemed nice. If we were needing to beak up the trip again would definitely go back.

Our 2-bedroom family unit provided a spacious, comfortable base for our overnight stay in Glen Innes. The master bedroom had a couch and coffee table. Each bedroom had a television. The fridge was a generous size, and in its own room with a well-sized table that made food preparation easy (can be a challenge in rooms with limited space!). A microwave, kettle and some cutlery and crockery were supplied. Bathroom was spacious. Located at the back of the complex made for a quiet night's sleep, away from traffic noise. Some of the fixtures and fittings were a bit dated but still very serviceable. Beds were fitted with electric blankets. Convenient location - we walked down to 'Fossicker's Rest' to fossick in the morning, and had time to come back to our room to change before checking out. Would have loved a separate sink from the bathroom to wash dishes in. Was a bit pricey but we were willing to pay more for the quiet location and ability to cancel the day before if needed. Would stay again.

At $130 a night, I really expected better than this. The mattress was really uncomfortable and I'm not sure how clean the sheets were - the pillowcases certainly didn't appear freshly pressed. But the really gross part was the bathroom. The basin had a greasy residue and obviously hadn't been cleaned. The shower was disgustingly mouldy. There were blood splatters on the tile surround at floor level and dirty hand marks on the walls. I don't mind dated motels - there's a certain charm there - AS LONG AS THEY'RE CLEAN! And I really wanted to be able to write a good review considering how Covid hit businesses in regional towns. But unfortunately, this place was a real disappointment. The only redeeming factor is the restaurant where we enjoyed the best steaks. Can highly recommend the restaurant - just stay somewhere else.

The bed was like sleeping on hard boards. So hard and uncomfortable we couldn’t sleep. The room is in serious need of a maintenance update, especially painting. The bathroom, especially the shower was disgusting. So horrible. On a positive note, the relief managers were friendly and helpful.
