Staff were welcoming and friendly. Room was clean and tidy , the jug in our room was broken and there were no spare jugs in the laundry room etc , therefore we had to wait for staff to start work for the day before we could get a replacement ( a minor thing but quite annoying). Overall we have stayed at the motel quite a lot and have always enjoyed it .👍

It was AMAZING! Love the place. When Im rich Im going to buy into the company, build a penthouse onto the motel & live there. May even put a rooftop pool in for everyone to enjoy. In all seriousness Warners at the Bay is the best all-round stay in the whole area- great staff, value for money, recently upgraded mod cons, easy parking, security concious, family friendly & everything you could want on-site.

Great people to be around, all-round!!

I cannot fault the superb standards of this wonderful hub in the heart of Warners Bay. It has something for everyone & its the one place I never feel worried about my safety, my luggage, if I lose a key or if I have a special request. Lately my arthritis has rendered me immobile so the extra consideration from staff to meet my needs has been greatly appreciated & they never make me feel like anything is a hassle. The quality of staff at the motel is met also with the same impeccable customer service at the hotel & restaurant next door.

Good Vibes Genuine Consideration

To the Gems - who swap my dirty for clean & buffer my door with a keen sense of security, a considerate msg about room service disguising a subtle & kind nudge to remind me to eat; & help with the laundry room, & answers to my vague enquiries... yet they never make me feel silly - just in general each & every one of the ladies on staff at the motel make Warners at the Bay such a pleasant experience to come & go from... Their duty of care goes beyond perfunctory pleasantries, with genuine warmth in the energy created & every-effort made to provide top-notch service, stay & sleep with a smile!

Room was nice with great amenities. The soap and shampoo smelled amazing, bed was comfortable. It was a bit noisy in the hallways so bring some earplugs. But otherwise was great!

We have stayed here twice before upstairs and everything was great. This time we were in a downstairs room and the carpark outside our window was very noisey. As were other guests in the hall way.The room was smaller and not as well presented. The bathroom had a dank smell coming from the floor waste. Plenty of parking especially for larger vehicles. Food at the tavern was good value and tasty.
