Roaches and no toilet paper or towels

Traveling around AUS on holiday, stayed at 63 hotels so far. This one was by far the worst in regard to: Check-in - hoat was kind but process was horrible. Check-in instructions say to check-in by 9pm. We checked in around 5:30pm, no host on site, had to call a number posted on the door. Had to call 3 times to get though. Hoat asked a bunch of questions then directed me to a key lockbox by the reception, then there was no key for my assigned room. Host had to get off the phone and show up in person to get me a key. Got in the room, absolutely no toilet paper, no bath towels and room hadn't been cleaned in some time. There was a heavy layer of dirt on the blanket and sheets, parts of dead bugs on the bed, dirt on the table and end tables, dirt on the bathroom sink and sand all over the place. The fidge/freezer didnt work while we were there and our food spoiled. The worst part, 4 dead roaches. 2 were next to the bed, one was on the bed and one had already been partially eaten by something in the bathroom. All of them had cleary been dead for awhile...a spot check for cleanliness of the room would have avoided this. There was a photo on the floor that teipped me as I walked in the room. There was a huge hole cut in the wall ahove thw cabinet. Overall it seems this room was possibly under construction and hadnt been cleaned or used or even stocked for supplies in some time. Absolutely the worst hotel/motel I have experienced in my travels so far through 6 states.

It was ok the room we stayed in was tiny, nothing like the pictures, you couldn’t open the wardrobe door because the fridge was blocking it! We had to leave our luggage in car it was that small!! Other rooms looked better so we might have drawn the short straw, but it was clean

Quite a large 1 bedroom apartment with full kitchen. A lot of space compared to other places. We also had a small yard and chairs. Although they were quite weather worn and need replacing. Very happy with location and property overall

Overnight in Broken Hill

Not sure if it was the time of year, but I am sure we ended up in the worst room in the hotel. The main bed was 1m away from the window next to the key collection point where customers were forced to phone to have their keys released, preventing any sleep that night. Along with one bedside table for three guests, a running toilet and broken t roll holder and poor shower drainage, it wasn't a great success, and we were tired for the drive into Adelaide the next day. The room certainly didn't look like the photos on the site with more dated furniture and ad hoc TV placement blocking use of the hairdryer.

Three day trip to Broken Hill and the Sturt Motel was ideal for our purposes. Nice room and good facilities. Very clean, one of the cleanest we've been in. Would definitely recommend to others. Nothing not to like. Hope to return in a couple of years and would not only stay there but request the same room. Thanks to everybody concerned.

We booked a Supreme Queen room and we paid via card ,the price on the web was $121 for the room after discounts. We received an email advising that we needed to check-in by 5pm or contact the office by phone. We arrived at 3.30pm to a reception not open, i rang the number given to me and held on for quite a few minutes, the receptionist was running between the motel and the caravan park across the road. We finally got our key and went to our room to find that we had a small room with a double bed not a queen. I then checked my emails to find i had been charged $131. I went to reception to sort it out but again no reception. I will never return to the Sturt Motel again, our friends that also stayed received the room that they booked. Also had no sleep as the light coming through the door and main windows was excessive. Overall rating. 1 but on a positive note the room was clean & tidy.
