10/10 Exceptional

I have stayed here multiple times over the last 10 years but this was the first time in the last 5 years. Although the rooms could have a refresh, the motel has everything I need. Easy access to a supermarket, restaurants, and shopping, Each room has a kitchen to cook meals (microwave and oven) and the rooms are spacious. A nice touch in winter is the electric blankets on the beds.

Diplomat OK

Quiet and comfortable. Room a bit dated, but clean. No air-con in room, and it was very hot. However they provided us with a very good fan on request.

6/10 Good

Whilst the room was clean this is a very basic budget hotel. It is not a 3 star more like a 1-2 star. The room was very dated and shabby with 60s vanity in the bathroom and shower curtain. The room smelt a bit but this improved when airing. If you just want somewhere to base yourself then it’s fine but if you want some comforts stay elsewhere. Great location though

Verified review

2/10 Poor

Regret booking to stay 10 - 13 March (3 x nights). Only very basic service provided each day and communication from the staff was difficult. The motel feels in many areas like it has not been upgraded since it was originally built in the 1970s. Carpet was also lifting in some areas presenting a trip risk / hazard. Request for at least 1 x night refund for my inconvenience / poor experience.

We particlarly enjoyed the spaciousness of our room and the comfortable kingsize bed. Great shower too. We had chosen Dilomat for is proximity to Southern Eye Hospital so the above factors were definitely a bonus
