Blue Hills Motel

Changed our room last minute with no prior notice. Gave us an uncleaned room with dead ants everywhere+ leakage in the bathroom. Wasn't offered any replacement but rather had to deal with unfairness throughout our stay

The rooms on the top level are so dirty and run down. For even $140 a night you shouldn’t be sleeping in that or bathing

Clean rooms, kitchen is nice and staff members are good

The parking was ok though they is no enough space, the room was well cleaned . They was only one problem in my room they was no plates no microwave l end up eating cold food .Beside that everything was okay.

Parking was not great as first in first serve ,so ended parking down street.😒

Yes it was cheap but it is terrible. We didnt stay, family was horrified. Avoid at all costs.

Reception was already closed at 5:30. No check-in info was sent until 4:00 same day. There was supposed to be on-site parking but there were actually only a few spaces. The heat was a space heater in a closet. Location is very central.

Clean modern room, windows need upgrades as rattled with wind and shower space tiny in room 14 ( a weird corner nook) shower better in room opposite and water pressure very average but was value for money

Location was great, but that is all that is good for Blue Hills. Advertised free "on-site" parking - but only 9 parking spaces for 29 units!! 77 steps from road to our room. Bit tough for elderly with heavy bags, with sharp steel protruding from a number of the steps. Reception hours pathetic - doubt that they are prepared to face complaints "face to face". Note following: No toilet roll holder. Only 1 towell rail. A number of lights not working. Many broken panels of glass in stairwell and room. Exposed electrical cables outside room that should have been in conduit. Exposed "taped up 240 volt power cables" in room. No coffee provided. Could not find any firehoses on upper levels. I am would be surprised that this property meets required loacl by-laws and workplace health and safety requirements.

The best thing about this accommodation was it's proximity to the Salamanca Markets. Interestingly, in the text I received about checking in, I was told that it was a 'self check-in accommodation' and that if we arrive after 1.30pm we had to send photo ID. This was disappointing as it is nice have human interaction at check-in. Also why was photo ID needed if there was no one there to identify me??? Even for the lowish price, the room was below par. In our room, Number 28, there was a small, bashed-up blow heater that struggled to warm the room on a very cold and wet night. There was no tag on the cord to say that it had been checked for safety by an electrician. There were no electric blankets and only one spare extra blanket for two beds, hidden with the heater in the 'wardrobe'. There were draughts coming in through the front door, an open window in the bathroom that could not be closed and a large gap under the bathroom door that contributed to the overall coldness of the room. There were ants on the 'kitchen' bench, wall and in the bathroom. There were not grab rails in the shower or by the toilet. There was a towel rail near the toilet but it wobble badly if touched. There was no toilet roll holder and the bathroom light fitting was a disgrace, both dusty and missing a bulb which left an open socket. I really think that this motel is in need of major upgrading to make it a nicer, more comfortable place. I would NOT like to stay there in winter

Great value for the night. Nail clippings on bathroom floor. Could use a shower curtain.

Bed very uncomfortable. Pillows couldnt support a barbie dolls head. Fridge on floor. Kettle and a small milk supplied but not a coffee sachet to be seen. Wouldnt recommend.

Parking very hard

Hard not alot of parking for the motel, would be better more parking spaces.

Never saw anyone as regards staff. Check in/out was easy once had right code for key box. Room was adequate for price. Bed was comfy, could do with better pillows though.

This accommodation is fine, and

Parking terrible, never seen any staff, rooms very unclean, had to walk a metal gang plank outside second floor to access room, what I thought was a carpet under fridge was actually dirt and dust, room door looked like someone had tried to kick the door in, being an older woman travelling by herself the hotel did not no feel safe, i had to forgo 5 nights accommodation, Very unsatisfactory.

Fantastic value for money, location is actually excellent being out of the centre but still close. Neighbourhood perfect for some nice and interesting walks. I would definitely stay again. Down to earth, modest, but has everything for a couple of nights stay.

Arrived having sent my id and phone number as requested. Informed by Hotel. com four hours after arriving that a lock pad number would be sent on the day of our arrival !!!! If it had not been for some fellow guests who rang a different number than what we were given and managed to contact someone who gave us the lock and key combination. The room was clean and bedding very good but there was not a single hook to hang any clothing. Nor a cupboard. The combi/fan/light/heater made an unbearable noise in the bathroom. Luckily there was another smaller light in the room. Third night the heavens opened in Hobart and the roof was leaking. They moved us to another room which did have a wardrobe but a lot of rust under the metal window. There was no hot water in the shower. If the effort was made could be a really nice motel. But sadly not on this occasion. A very dangerous health and safety issue is the steps upto the motel. If you drive in you would not use them. But the lower flight has a handrail somewhat wobbly and splintered, half hidden under the undergrowth. The second flight no hand rail and loose stones. Very slippy on the rainy day.

Easy, friendly and great experience for a low price !
