Great staff member who came to open reception for me after 11 pm. Great friendly communication prior to arrival. I had room 5 and it was perfectly clean and comfortable. Good bed and shower and quiet neighborhood. Very convenient position when coming from the late ferry then travelling up north. It was appropriate for the price.

Having viewed a number of negative reviews moments before our stay, I would say the owners of this motel have taken those comments on board, and made some measures to improve the standards, and we were very satisfied with our accommodation. We stayed in room 10, 20, and 22 which all had fantastic shower pressure. I initially booked 3 standard twin rooms, but the owner upgraded one of our rooms to a room with a kitchen knowing we had 7 adults and two toddlers in our group which we were very grateful for. They never promised a 5 star facility, but we feel we were given 3 well presented, tidy rooms with comfortable beds, good showers and clean facilities. Despite the language barrier, the cleaner who we requested extra towels from was very pleasant to deal with and I witnessed him assisting other guests without a fuss with their requests. I honestly have nothing but appreciation to share to the owner and his team. Abundant blessings with your future travellers to Champers Motor Inn and thank you for the accommodation.

Was okay, not as welcoming as the first time I stayed and I would have preferred a room at the back rather than by the road.( Which I had requested in booking notes). Clean and spacious though. Will stay again.

The place is clean and very good value for your money. The location is also excellent since it is very close to the mall. Reception is unattended most of the time but it wasn't a major issue for us. Checkin and checkout is a breeze. The staff/cleaner was very helpful as well.

Tidy comfortable but tired accommodation- price reflective so that’s ok. Staff was nice to Deal with and if I had some constructive criticism it would be please fix the front door lock and keep the shower curtain updated at all times, no one wants to shower with pink/red/black mould on it shower curtain. A cheap fix by replacing it would make a difference. Overall pleasant experience

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
stayed in studio room was a bit outdated visible mold on walls and around window joinery windows hard to close and open probably just old, visible patch jobs on wallpaper to keep it sticking to wall, shower head was cracked so water sprayed out onto toilet as well as body, shower curtain also a bit moldy and did not cover shower area well enough so bathroom was pretty soaked after a shower. Room also never serviced for new towels or taking rubbish away. TV and Wi-Fi also very slow and buffered, check in and check out were easy. Price was pretty good for area and what you get.
