Nelsons of Bridgetown

We've stayed at Nelson's before but in one of the superior rooms. This time we went with a cheaper option which was a room out the back in what looks to be an older area. There's a car park around there so we were able to park right in front of our room. The room was basic - double bed plus a single, fridge, tea-making facilities, bench, two chairs, wardrobe, a/c, side tables and lamps, bathroom with walk-in shower, basin, and toilet. Also ironing board. And a tiny tv on the wall. There was also wi-fi but we couldn't get it to work. The room was very clean - a must for my wife- while the shower had good pressure and the bed was comfortable. Not super expensive and it did the job. We'd visit again. There's also a restaurant which I've reviewed separately.

We had dinner at Nelson's as our motel didn't supply evening meals. Our waitress Thylita was attentive, knowledgeable and pleasant. Food was great, service was quick, prices very reasonable. Big tick!!

Avoid rooms 1 to 11 they are the ones out the back . And are run down , dated no microwaves just a kettle , old noisy aircon a tv the size of a iPad and tv reception that doesn’t work ( we had 4 rooms booked ) all with the same issue at $ 145 a night massively over priced. I have stayed in the other rooms that are considerably better , a typical example of run down rooms charged at a higher rate because there’s not much competition around. Don’t complain when companies shift there business elsewhere.

The motel rooms are spotlessly clean and are serviced daily. The staff go out of their way to make you welcome and nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant is. Beautifully fitted out. The wait staff very pleasant and the food amazing. We will be back.

The staff on the front desk and restaurant were so rude, When we booked in the s Male staff member welcomed us a female stsff member came in and rudely told us to move over as she walked through, When we were paying for the room the male member said tge restaurant is over there there is a table booked for you, so we went to our rooms and waited for the rest of our team to turn up, a little while later we went to the restaurant. The female staff member was telling us there is no tables booked, we tried to explain what we were told when we booked in. She would not listen just telling us to eat in our room we can bring it to you. Then when we go to oay they wanted to charge another $5.50 on top. We tried to explain that we were told we had a table booked. But she was rude and just kept Walking away. She said its $5.50 if you want it in your room, you should have booked a table. No matter how much we tried to say we were told we had a tabke she just shrugged her shoulders and walked of.

We were expecting a lovely room in the historic building but were given Room 2 in the old Motel. This was a very basic motel room like the typical motel rooms from the 60’s and 70’s. The furniture was cheap and overall quite spartan. On the plus side it was very clean and the shower excellent with good pressure. We were regretting not booking at one of the local B & B’s which were the same price, have more character and included breakfast for the price. The only saviour was Nelson’s restaurant in which the service was excellent and the food delicious. Next time we visit we will return to the restaurant but not the motel.

Stayed here one night recently, booked a superior room. Quite a decent size, interesting interconnected private courtyard. Clean, tidy up market. Impressed. Ate at the restaurant, good food and very attentive staff. Will definitely stay again.

Stayed in a deluxe room for 2 nights with the family in Jan. Very clean room and had a microwave. Spotless and crisp sheets. Pool area was clean and tidy. Warm and friendly service from reception. Convenient location. Short walk to IGA and cafes. Peaceful and quiet. Looking forward to our next stay here. Don't hesitate to book.

Was basic and clearn. However was out back with all the workers. Was thankful they where quite. Shower was awesome. Water pressure good and nice and hot. Freezer was not really useable. Needed defrosting. I would stay again.
