the building was alright outside and inside the property was dirty. Windows were full of cobwebs, window sills and windows had never been cleaned and corners were all dirty. If the health department saw it they would close it down till it was cleaned up.

The Peter Allen is close to the main road in Tenterfield CBD but surprisingly quiet. Older style motel but in good condition and convenient to Coles and dining options. Comfortable bed and suitable for an overnighter.

A terrible experience!

We've stayed at this motor inn a few times either overnight or two nights as one of our travel stops, and found the room (we were booked in the same room each time) to be clean, comfortable, and reasonable for the price. However, on our most recent trip we were provided with a different room. The bed was comfortable, but that's the extend of anything good to say about our stay. The bathroom/toilet seemed like it has not been cleaned in ages. There was mould on the tiles in the shower, and some tiles were cracked. The towels they supplied were threadbare, there was no toilet roll holder (but a toilet roll dispenser that required special rolls - not supplied), and dust/dirt settled in the corners behind the toilet. But wait, there's more! The room had no ventilation and smelt of stale urine, the toilet seat was not clean, and the floor was sticky. Ironing board but no iron, not all the appliances worked, the fluro lights in the lounge were blindingly bright with no light shades to diffuse the light. The hotel generally smelt of stale cigarette smoke. Never going back again!

The shower was mouldy, there were stains on the doona cover and the floor. Whenever i put my cup down it was covered in ants. The air-conditioner was extremely noisy. The towels were old and frayed. The sheets were clean!
