I think the main negative issue Willis Wellington Motel has, is that they are marketing themselves as an upmarket, trendy motel, however to be blunt they are a backpackers. If they marketed themselves as a backpackers, and had accurate photos, people would know what to expect and I feel reviews would be kinder. Just be honest about what you are providing. This was the cheapest, fancy motel I could find in the CBD- modern bedding, modern bathroom and furnishings… Or so I thought looking at the photos. The rooms are small and dated- they are basically a private room at a backpackers with a bathroom. The bathroom in the photos was not my bathroom by a long shot; the bathroom I had was incredibly dated- I’d guess 80s (it was however very clean!). The carpet was vacuumed and room was clean - but carpet needs a good shampoo (Do not being preschoolers- you don’t want them playing on this carpet).The worst part for me was the cold; the windows didn’t seal and each gust of wind brought a breeze into the room -the heater hadn’t been on all day and it was warmer outside on the street than in my room at 9pm. I turned the heater on when I arrived and it took 1.5 hours to keep the chill off enough to sleep- never got warm- just kept the chill off and I slept in 4 layers of clothes (it was a bit ridiculous, and no extra blankets provided). Don’t stay here if you feel the cold! However the room did NOT smell badly (as other reviews state), cups etc were clean, bedding was fresh and clean.
