Port Aloha Motel

Port Aloha Motel

8/10 Good
"I decided to choose Port Aloha as my 3 night stay in Port Macquarie. I based my decision on its room prices and its location to eateries and other town facilities. People might not like the actual motel location as its not close to the jetty or beach locales. Plus its up a hill, but i didnt mind the walk. The motel itself does show its age, compared to other hotels built in the last 5 to 10 yrs. The room itself was clean & tidy, has a functional kitchenette with a sink, microwave, toaster. There is plenty of areas to store things in drawers. The bathroom/ shower was clean as well. People who have mobility issues would have to choose the 4 lower level rooms. If you like to use stairs, this motel is right for you. I only needed to speak to the receptionist when I arrived and she was a cooperative person. I found the motel wi fi signal to be strong and consistent. The car park in the back has limited spaces. An extra large car might be a tight fit in there. A car with a trailer would be a stretch. There is parking spots on the outside street. Motel shares the street with residential housing too. I would choose this motel if I was returning to this area"

8/10 Good
"We had a very good and straightforward overnight stay while travelling to Sydney with our family. We arrived around midnight, but arranged check-in by phone beforehand, and our key card was left securely in a lockbox at the front of the property. The process was simple and convenient. Our room was on level two, with a balcony facing the street and a busy roundabout. The view was nothing special, but this did not bother us given that we arrived late and left early the following morning. Checking out was equally easy, as we left the key card in the designated box. The secure parking was easy to access, and we had no difficulty finding a space. The location was convenient, and the price was reasonable. Overall, it was an easy and pleasant experience for a short overnight stay. Five out of five."
