Birch Motel Tocumwal

Motel surroundings unkempt and unappealing. Room decor very dated but in good condition. Reception not signposted (it’s to the left of Room 1). Front of motel facing onto main road looks derelict. Considerable truck traffic noise from main road - ask for a room at rear of property. Fridge in room is noisy. No power socket on right side of bed for electric blanket on bed or clock radio. NOTE: Photos online of rooms DO NOT match what we stayed in at all. Photos online show very nice decor - we stayed in Room 1 and decor was old and tired. I believe the motel has acquired new owners and become very run down. Pool area looks neglected. Photos of rooms on the motel website look much nicer and with completely different decor and furniture to the room we stayed in. However, room was clean and comfortable. Bed was comfortable, shower was good. If you are not fussy about decor and ambiance, or on a tight budget, this motel is adequate (just).

It was confusing as we booked through *********** for Birch St Motel and all the signs say Kanimbla. Location was easy to get to. Plenty of parking available. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately the room was not clean and made for an uncomfortable stay. There was someone else’s sock under the bed and it did not appear to be vacuumed. Old room.
