Haven Marina Motel Reviews

Gooddddddddfdddddfddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddrrrrrddddddddddd

Comfortable, air-conditioning worked well. Clean. Pretty basic no toaster. Rooms Ageing, mainly the bathroom. Convenient location reasonably priced. Main light didn't work. Felt secure. Grateful on ground level, no stairs.

Basic accommodation room was clean and tidy needs renovations throughout complex but in an awesome location at Glenelg, I am sure this large property will be earmarked for major reconstruction soon 👍 handy to amazing buffet at the watermark hotel

Great place to stay and very easy to get around!

The location is so good. Walkable to the seaside town center. However, the cleanliness of the bathroom and the musty smell in the room... I tried to understand that it was a cheap motel in the area, but The bathroom was so bad. A motel with a slightly uncomfortable feel. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to save money. If you have some money, go to another motel. Parking facilities are located within the motel, but the spaces are too narrow. The swimming pool was fairly clean.

So dirty. Urine stains on bedding. Black scum in bathroom. Doors with stains and liquids that had been spilt on them left and disgusting. Windows were cloudy and dirty as they don’t ever get cleaned. Carpet black with dirt and stains. Very disappointing. Last time I stayed there 5 years ago was so much better. For the price you accept and old place but not the disgusting hygiene this time. Motel was however obliging and offered another room. But it was no better. Motel said that people have different standards of clean. I showed her the photos I took and she said “I’ll need to talk to housekeeping”. This was not isolated. The office and car park and pool area were filthy. The old restaurant area which was closed down was not cleaned and all old equipment dumped in there. I will never stay there again.

This is a one star hotel at best. Very old and grubby. Dusty rooms and the whole property needs to cleaned from top to bottom. The building itself is ageing and no maintenance has been completed since I was there 30 years ago. Linen and bed was ok. No restaurant no house cleaning and would never stay again. Paid 175 a night.

Do not contemplate staying in this hovel. A disgrace of a place that should be condemned. What a horror show of mould, dust, broken fittings and a bed they obviously grabbed from a local hard rubbish collection. I'm seriously concerned what disease I will pick up from this cesspool.

Absolutely disgusting, the online pictures were bull. We wanted to celebrate our 30th anniversary and catch up on sleep well the beds were disgusting the room smelt bad , and I didn’t sleep either nights.there was a pane of wood on the balcony were the glass had broken, safety concerns of the wood braking if lent on. The bathroom light switch was cracked and dangerous we had no toilet rolls or even tissues, the guest all 6 Gary,s were loud and annoying. Never again nor do I recommend this accommodation to anyone. The bathroom was filthy,the chairs on the balcony were ready to collapse

Worn carpets. No HD TV. No soap container in the shower cubicle. The one window that could be opened had a thick layer of black dirt in the guttering - looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The clothing storage cupboards were very dusty and I needed to clean them before placing my clothes. The staff were polite.

Room was stuffy and smelled. Bathroom was disgusting and dirty. Windows didn’t open at all. Carpark was insufficient and hard to park in. Toilet ran continuously. Reception did nothing to fix it. This is more like a cheap motel for young people to stay cheaply in large groups. Think Schoolies.

I’m not sure when the Haven Marina changed its name from Haven Motor Inn but it hasn’t updated anything by the looks since it was built in 1970s-1980s. The motor inn has nothing to do with the marina which is across the road. The buildings themselves are in a state of disrepair and the rooms are no better. Cleaning does not appear to be a priority for this establishment as I am fairly sure the carpet has not been cleaned since it was laid, and that appears to be a long time ago, the mirrored wardrobe doors were covered in fingerprints and the bathroom mirror was a smeared mess . The gaps around our door allowed leaves to be blown in under the door, let alone the howling wind and we had to stuff the door with anything we could find to stop it from banging overnight. If you’re looking for any “extras”, don’t bother. There was no hand towel and the bath towels, bath mat and face washers looked as if they were the original towels. The only toiletries supplied were two tiny combined shampoo/conditioner bottles and two small soaps, no body lotion, shower cap or hairdryer. The rooms are not serviced until you’ve stayed for 5 nights, I cannot imagine anyone staying for that period of time. The bathroom tiles looked original and the shower curtain did not stop the water pouring onto the floor from the very old shower head. The water was only just warm enough, no need to use the cold tap. We had one teaspoon, 2 stained mugs and two water tumblers. When I asked at reception for a wine glass, although there is what appeared to be a once operating restaurant, there were none. There was no Wi-Fi in the room, although advertised. The TV remote control wasn’t working properly so I took it across to reception to ask for replacement batteries, you would have thought I was asking for a new kidney, I think I was there for a good 10 minutes waiting for these two batteries to be found and installed. Having said that when I did ask for more toilet paper the next day the staff member was very helpful. The bed to my surprise was very comfortable, the sheets were clean (I checked). At the end of the day you get what you pay for, and although it was very difficult to find accommodation in the area during the Adelaide Show, it was obvious that the prices had been increased for that period. There was supposed to be a compete redevelopment of the site in 2015, (has not occurred), so maybe they see no need to spend any money on maintenance/upgrades in case this does occur. In the meantime, do yourself a favour and find somewhere else. I will never be back. The one star was for the location, overlooking the Patawalonga Marina.

Awaiting redevelopment so they’re not putting any/much effort onto the facilities. I’ve stayed here a couple of times because it’s a convenient location for my purposes and I only need basics. Bed, TV, hot shower. Unfortunately this stay the shower didn’t get above warm If you want nice it’s not really for you.

Overpriced, room definitely need an upgrade. The photos online are deceptive as our room was aweful No restaurant don't waste your money, gap under door so big that rats, snakes could get in. Not recommend
