William Dutton Motel - Portland, Victoria

I really can't see why others have left poor reviews for this place, my experience was excellent. Friendly people running the place. Great price and location, comfortable beds, large room with a couch no less, quality fittings, quiet (from other guests as well as roads). Only slight complaints I can make is that the air con was a bit noisy and the shampoo sachets were impossible to open, or maybe I'm just weak. Anyway similar priced places don't even come with these things so can't complain really, will definitely stay again when in the area

Booked last minute when my 'usual' motel was booked out.

Was apprehensive after looking at some reviews. Couldn't have been more wrong.

Friendly staff, with a good tips on where to eat. Recently, it appeared, renovated room very comfortable mattress and quiet location.

Great location and walking distance to anything you would need.

Will be staying again for sure.

The owner was lovely to deal with but my heart sunk as we walked in; my husband will never live this booking down. The family room was so outdated. As I inspected, my heart sunk more when I saw the shower curtain and the bed spreads. I stay in motels regularly for work and thought bed spreads were a thing of the past. We had to go and buy extra towels from Woolies because we like one per shower but also there was no where to hygienically dry 4 towels. The beds were so hard that we all had head aches and sore neck and shoulders. I suggested we go home early rather than spend a 2nd night but we decided to suck it up so as not to disappoint the kids by cancelling our plans for the full weekend but I desperately wanted to leave. The car parks are so tight like other reviews so I'm glad my husband was driving. The other issue we had all weekend was that sometimes the key would easily pop the door open and other times it was a no go and at one point had to get the owner to come and help get into our room. The mini bar fridge was full of mold in the seals - gross. It would actually be so easy to make some simple changes and turn this place around. A good start would be getting rid of those manky shower curtains and making the beds with sheets under and over the blanket and get rid of those old bed spreads.

The rooms were clean and roomy. The shower didn't have much pressure and the bathroom can was noisy but over all it was agood place to stay

I received a message from a representative of this hotel through the Booking website:

“The guest has provided invalid payment details. Payment details will be available from the channel extranet or from the guest. Booking Information:
Channel: Booking.com
Total price: $147”

At the same time, I see in my bank account that this hotel has ALREADY charged me $150!

Stayed with the great hospitality of the Parson family that run the William Dutton Motel while my father had surgery.
Lovely room with alot of light. Nice smelling liquid soap unlike most places. We slept 😴 well even though it is on the main thoroughfare. Close to the hospital, shopping district and the beach ⛱️
All in all, a great place to stay.

Great location, nice and clean, lovely reception person. The room had no PowerPoint's to charge devices, rhe lighting was very poor, response to no hot water for that night was less than poor, customers need hot water and it wouldn't have taken long for a plumber to fix it when it was reported. Not happy at all.
