We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at El Motor Inn. Staff arranged to pick us up at the Bus Terminal which was most appreciated as we had travelled by train from Melbourne. The room was very clean and the bed really comfortable. The bathroom was clean and updated. Plenty of hanging space in wardrobe. Our room was serviced daily, which we have not experienced from other motels for a long time! Clean towels were replaced every day without asking, which was also appreciated. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The local supermarket was within a few minutes walking distance which was excellent as we prepared some of our own mini meals. The coastal walk is minutes away as is the Port where sightseeing cruises, boat hire, fishing trips can be taken. Close to shopping centre and eateries.

The bathroom was a tad small, but very clean.

Location of the motel was perfect, close to town and beach. The room was cool with air con and very clean and quiet. Staff were lovely.

The room was pretty small and the fridge was very tiny and awkward to use being up on a high shelf, I dropped things trying to put them into the fridge and couldn't even fit the contents of my small esky into the tiny fridge or re-freeze my icebrick to use the next day. A bigger fridge could have easily fit into the large cupboard it was in or even open shelving would have been more practical. There also was no microwave to use. The french-door style bathroom door was strange and not really well sealing, not sure why it wasn't a sliding door or something?

Our stay at El Paso Port Macquarie Motel was fantastic! From the friendly and welcoming staff to the spotless rooms and excellent amenities, everything exceeded our expectations. The recent refurbishments were evident, and the deluxe rooms were perfectly designed to accommodate three guests comfortably. The location is unbeatable, with convenient access to shopping and delicious nearby restaurants. Although we only stayed for a night, we’d happily return for a longer weekend getaway!

Elevate price due to holiday period but that is to be expected. I paid the same amount for a hotel in Sydney about a month ago.

Located smack-bang in the middle of Port Macquarie, so everything is within easy walking distance. Front desk staff helpful, friendly and courteous. Room was comfy and neat, slept well. Room was located upstairs, stairs reasonably easy to navigate however noticed that there is a lift installed for those who are mobility-impaired, a really thoughtful addition.

Parking is difficult if you are not an early arrival. There are a limited number of spaces in front of the rooms with extra underground parking at the back of the motel, however it is very, very tight and hard to maneuver into the spaces if there's one or two 4WDs parked in there. Had to park in the reception bay as we were last to check in.

Great spot in the center of town. We were warmly welcomed and the staff kindly sorted out parking as they were relatively busy, even moving their own car for me. Lovely room on upper level, must have been done up recently as even had USB ports in wall. Bed was very comfortable, modern bathroom and nicely stocked mini bar. TV had good access to streaming services. The room was on the upper level facing the main street and as it was a Friday night it was a little bit noisy outside. It didn’t bother us and it wasn’t too late when it settled down. We had a great meal at Miss Lucy’s across the road - Japanese fusion. Delicious dumplings and botanical cocktails. We left early but Casualties Expresso nearby was open from 6am (5:30am on weekdays) with great coffee.

Quite modern hotel in downtown MacQuarie with ample parking (garage and courtyard). We had a very friendly welcome and there was another guy from the staff we encountered several times and who was always willing to tell us something about the town or the animals we had seen around. The room was third floor, reachable by elevator and nice and comfortable. Comfy beds and a big bathroom. There's also a Cafe in the hotel that serves a nice breakfast. The hotel is in walking distance to everything in downtown and at the waterfront.

Nothing to dislike - just a word of warning: There are thousands of very noisy lorikeets in the trees in downtown and they need a long time until they finally sleep. For us it was rather funny and interesting than annoying and the room was soundproof enough anyways.

Location. One minutes walk to shops, restaurants and waterfront CBD. Yet it was quiet. Perfect. Will be booking to stay there next year. This hotel was really good value for money. Staff were lovely too. 10/10 for this stay

Minor. It would be nice to have one allocated / dedicated car park per room that is marked with a room number as we had to park outside on the Road on the 2nd day. Plenty of free Street parking but as we carry goods for our business, it’s great to have our van close to our room.

Great location, very central to everything, shops, restaurants, the beach, hotels all within easy walking distance. Comfortable bed, great shower

Parking at this property is a disaster. When I booked the site said parking outside our room, but there was no allocated parking. Finding a park was challenging, and if we went anywhere in the car, our park would be gone when we returned.

The location was great. We had views of the water along with the parklands. There was a short walk to the water's edge which then snaked around the point which was an easy walk and had great views. There were lots of coffee shops nearby along with a modern shopping centre for all your shopping needs. There was a pub for a beverage and meal along with a bottle shop for any takeaway needs within a 2-minute walk.

Nothing actually. The check in was easy and went really smooth. The car parking was a little tight but manageable with caution. The rooms were really comfortable and well set out.

The location of El Motor Inn is perfect. Close to cafes, pubs, shopping centre and shopping precinct, cinema, activities, the beach and river. The room is immaculate and very comfortable. The staff are always friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again.

The only thing that was missing was a microwave. I had back problems the last time we stayed and I like to use my wheat bag for my back when it's like that. There was no microwave in the room so I couldn't use it.
