Good location close to the river and restaurants
Good motel close to the river and restaurants , older style motel in need of upgrade , the room we stayed in had a large hole underneath the carpet , a little dangerous .
Overall very average motel at a below average price .
Excellent spot to stay for the weekend, close to all the shops, beach, and restaurants. Older hotel but spotless inside. Rooms were so clean and tidy. Managers/owners were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again and also recommend to others.
Great Location.. Only minutes walk to everything..
First impression.. Older looking motel - BUT don't let external looks put you off,, Very clean and tidy. well maintained and has everything you need for a quiet and comfortable stay.
While our room and the pool at this hotel were great we found the manager exceptionally rude upon arrival and through the durtion of our stay. She went out of her way on several occasions to insult and argue wih us. And when we rang to retrieve an item of clothing that had accidentally been left in the room we were told to come back at a time convenient to her or she would throw it out....as we were on a time limit and could not wait we no longer have this item. While the staff at this hotel were lovely we feel its a real shame that they have to work under these conditions and apologize for the pig like actions of their boss. Jasmine lodge will not be getting anymore business from our family and friends.

Simple hotel close to beach
Pros: comfortable bed, spacious family room
Cons: footsteps heard from upstairs and foul smelling drains when shower on
I only had an overnight stay as was on a business trip, I arrived late and the owner waited for me, carried my bag up to my room and then delivered fresh milk and bread so I could make myself a snack. The room was large, spotless the bed was extremely comfortable- very very pleasing
an older motel but very clean and everything was there even free wifi! Staff were very nice, would definitely go again as also close to everything

Nice and close to the beach and town
Look the place was close to town and beaches which is great, so no need to drive so that was good but it is a very noisy place to stay

Sorry that you experienced bad vibes in one of our most popular rooms, with the room being light and its extra large single bed.

Overpriced stay
One night stay over, but will never stay again. Had to carry family's luggage up a flight of stairs, family was woken up several times by the water lines screaming when used next door and rooms echoed from people walking on floors. Disappointed for price we paid. But room was clean.
TV reception interrupted with movement in above room. Noise from above room travelled through interrupting sleep.
Room was clean and tidy, well located.
The hotel is a little bit old but very clean and roomy. Hotel staff nice and helpful

Comfortable older motel handy to shops & close to family we were visiting. Though we stayed for 2 nights, our room was not really serviced. While bowls, cutlery, detergent etc were provided, a washing up bowl would be handy. Would stay again if visiting the area.
My experience was very good because it was close & handy to everything.
I came to play a Squash Tournament at the Forster's Squash courts& the Hotel was only 5 min away from the Squash courts.
Facilities: Outstanding; Value: Great deal; Service: Flawless; Cleanliness: Spotless;
