Reviews of Carnarvon Gateway Motel 3 stars

Room next to highway. Too much traffic noise.

Sunday Roast buffet was epic. Room was clean and tidy, bed very comfortable! Staff friendly.

Cleanliness and cleaning the room during housekeeping

Short distance from town

Very dated and grounds not well maintained

It was available. There was a kettle, toaster and microwave in the room and plates and cutlery were provided.

Tired room facilities though the room appeared clean ,we noticed that the room carpet was grubby. The shower rose was a poor stream, though the hot water was plentiful. The grounds are all tired and unkempt.

Meals could have been different. Only a seafood buffett nothing else.

Not much!

No pool ( shut for "maintenance"), no wifi in room ( only in reception area) : was told this when checking in . Not mentioned on their website. Neon signage said breakfast : but none available. The place is in urgent need of an upgrade & only just clean enough. The curtain in my room had no hooks at one end, so it stayed shut : someone was going to fix it but never did.

Conveniently located for a short overnight stop.

Very dated Motel. Strange smell of drains in the room. Unable to open any of the windows, had to leave the door open for 30 mins to air the room. Room very dark, unable to open the fixed heavy curtain at the window. Restaurant food was good, nice Roast evening buffet.

The after hrs services were good

Not alot

This is a bit of a conflicting review to write, so please, bear with me. If you are looking at booking in for a night as a stop through on your way to another destination, this place was great. The beds are comfy and the water is hot! Sure the decor is outdated but you aren’t there long enough to really care. But if you are looking to stay for a few nights or longer while you explore the town and bring some much needed tourism dollars into the region, then I think you can find another place with better ammenities that make a longer stay more comfortable and enjoyable. As mentioned above, the room was okay, but it is certainly dated. The curtains are falling off the rails and are hard to open. The windows barely open and there are minimal kitchen utensils that make it a little difficult to prep and cook. The drawers and dressers are falling apart and were not safe to use. These are quite easy fixes in the grand scheme of things, but are clearly not a priority for the owners. The playground was unsafe and unusable and the pool was closed for maintenance which provided the kids limited options to burn off their energy, especially when there are no other local parks in walking distance. Maybe as this place is a motel, I am not their targeted clinetele and it is the ‘sleep and dash’ people they prefer but then I do believe they should not advertise amenities that they clearly have no desire to maintain but offer as a draw card for families looking to holiday in Carnarvon

In need of refurb Circa 1908

Old fashioned with bad reception area Dining room old fashioned with plastic flowers etc seemed more like an old retirement home Outside area poorly lit at night as was cabin doors Good thing : a good sturdy lock on door and chain No safe No wifi

Was clean and central to town centre.

All guests placed next to each other making parking awkward trying to manipulate luggage through to door. The complex was vast with many unoccupied units so crowding everyone into one location was unnecessary and frustrating with noise from neighbouring residents.Garden to front of unit overgrown and unsightly. Also local TV advertising buffet for dinner.This was not available anytime.Toilet seat was also broken.

Location

Nit enough outdoor tables

nothing

The rooms were disgusting, the bed covers had stains on them, as wells a crumbs. the carpet was filthy, i did not stay and decided to drive back to Karratha a 6 hour drive than sleep in the room.
