Noisy dogs staying

Upon arriving it was found that the hotel is an animal friendly hotel This was evident with the amount of dog fur on the floor and in the bathroom There were dogs staying that were barking constantly. When discussed with reception he said that the owners had been spoken to regarding their noisy dogs Evidently he didn't speak to the dogs

I know that recent floods have affected Kempsey, but the condition of the property was sub standard. The room was great, didn't see any staff. Was unable to have showers as their wasn't any hotwater. Very disappointing.

Older motel with torn curtains but comfy beds & good heating. Area around property quite average but also aware they've recently suffered the floods which has left mud & damage around. Overall fit our needs for a night's sleep while on the road.

Terrible. Bloke at the front desk was a nice bloke but that’s where it ended unfortunately. I wish I’d spent the extra money and driven the extra 50 kays to Port.
