The Entrance motels

Pros: Nice and quite room for the family. Very comfy beds. It was clean and breakfast was free of charge which was very well organised and clean. Will stay again.

Pros: Very good value for money. Clean. Really friendly staff. Short walk to the lake.

Pros: We were given an upgrade to a better room type than booked in a quieter location without even asking. The hosts were lovely and very helpful. The included breakfast was generous and very nicely organised.

Pros: The unit has recently been renovated and was very clean and comfortable. The bed was great with plenty of good pillows. Continental breakfast was included and the kitchen was open with access to food/juice etc when we arrived at 5.30pm.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Comfortable bed and pillows. Great space and atmosphere in the rooms. The staff are super friendly and it’s in a great spot for food and walks.

Pros: The location. And the fact that the motel put my family in rooms next door to each other. Very considerate.

Cons: One room smelt of smoke when it was clearly a non smoking room. One of the bath tubs was missing part of the tab to run the bath. Room wasn’t cleaned thoroughly as we found a deflated balloon and bed sash under the sofa bed (which was ripped) and we had another guest in the room with us (a cockroach)

Pros: View

Cons: The room was smelly so outdated ..pillows like rocks , tv tiny so wasn’t worth $116.00 a night .

Pros: Location

Cons: Very dated and the noise was terrible. You could hear the neighbours’ tv and bathrooms. The walls were way too thin.

Cons: Rooms were old and needed severe renovation works.

Pros: Room 204. Location was great, as always. We have stayed here many times, and as a tour operator, we have brought not only clients (and given countless referrals) but large family groups for weekends away. Every time we have been here in the past, we have found the cleanliness and hygiene to be fine. I was shocked to see how far downhill it has gone...

Cons: Less than 12 months ago, I would have recommended El Lago to anyone, in fact we did. Countless times. This time however, we paid $160.00 for a room that MAY have been vacuumed, and the bathroom MAY have been washed, but that was where the cleaning ended. The overall maintenance of the Motel has slumped to WAY below what I have experienced in the past. Light switches covered in ground in grime, what appeared to be soft drink or similar had sprayed up the wall, and not been cleaned, leaving it's pattern clearly visible as soon as the sun or internal light hit the wall. The metal surround to the shower at the floor was rusty, the roof over the pool area covered in fungus. Rather than post this review initially, I emailed the owners, to let them know of our experience. 1 week later, we had still not had a reply to the email, so I called, and spoke to the manager. He claimed the room was cleaned to "COVID" standard just prior to our arrival. I pointed out the problems I have mentioned here, and he said he would go and check it personally, and call me back straight away. 4 days later, I have had no call back, and still no answer to my email, now 11 days after I sent it. Unfortunately, not only has the cleanliness and quality of the motel gone down hill, but it seems it has done it with the managers approval. What a terrible shame. One of the best locations in the Entrance, but now one of the worst (and terribly overpriced for what you get). The only real positive is that we went on the Friday of a long weekend, and only paid $160.00. Had we gone the next night, we would have got a room of the same quality, and paid $260.00. A shame, it has always been so good up until now.

Pros: Location.

Cons: Even though the price was right it smelled when I first entered my room of old carpets and damp. Badly in need of an upgrade.

Pros: View of ocean

Cons: Bedding wasn't made when arrived Milk found in fridge from prevest people
