    Hi Rory, My Husband Scott and I own the Frewville Motor Inn. Thank you. Your review was honest and Well structured. I think I maybe the Cleaner who forget to check the Milk in the Fridge. OH DEAR! We are in a great location and do our best to Make this Older, economy style Motor Inn the very best it can. We listen to feed back and address issues as they arise. Safe travels.

    This is an excellent review of the motel and the facilities provided as well as the access to food and other services which are nearby. The information regarding transport is very helpful especially regarding the frequency of the service. Thanks Rory for this very helpful review.

    You can walk to the Akarbar hotel and the Frewville food land which has been voted the best supermarket in Australia, for fresh local produce. It may not work with those curtains, but you can use the hotel coathanger with the clips to keep them closed if there is light coming in. Also the bad shower, is sometimes caused by the water-saving washer in the showerhead, something the hotel should remedy.

    3:13 Thanks for another great review, Rory. Particularly since the pandemic, the first thing I do is wipe down the door handles, light switches and remotes.

    As soon as you opened the roo door i had dejavu. I had to stay in a few hotels/ motels in Albury last year. Worst one was located in a pub. No heating and this was in winter. The shower was awful too. I ended up having the quickest cold shower in my life in the morning.
    The year before i stayed 10 months in a hotel for work. In the end it felt like home as i bought a microwave and extra tv (wifi/bluetooth capable) and other things to make it more comfy for myself. Kinda miss the place as it had everything within short walking distance ( convenience stores/ bars / restaurants/ laundry )

    For a Motel it was surprising how nice it was. The price point and location is excellent if you don't have a car its great to be able to walk to shops and maccas. Despite the milk in fridge it did look clean and well maintained. Thankyou to your GF for being in your review👍

    It’s a great cheap motel that’s handy for the city. I’ve stayed there a few times, but not for a while. Looks like there’s been a big upgrade done.I generally stay on the southern side of Adelaide, and all those hotels along Glen Ormond Road are generally pretty good. I travel to Adelaide every 3 months for medical appointments. I’m always looking for a cheap, clean basic room, and somewhere where I am already close to the freeway next day to start the 500km trip home south.

    Walking south towards the end of Glen Osmond Rd is an awesome Korean charcoal BBQ. I used to go there when I was living in Norwood. Now that I have moved into the country, dont come to this part of town very often. Thanks for the memories!

    First off, love this review. Would love to see reviews of upmarket hotels - I know they cost more, but give more escapism to the viewer (especially to people locked down in Melbourne like myself). Really interested in seeing Little National Hotel in Sydney for example - #1 Hotel in Sydney on Tripadvisor, and it looks like you can get rooms for $200ish a night.

      You’ll see hotel indigo Adelaide
      The fantauzzo in Brisbane
      Double tree by Hilton in Perth etc. in the coming weeks/months
      I can’t review 10 hotels in one video 😀
      And I do have family in Sydney and Adelaide so I don’t always stay at hotels

    Yikes, you'd think in these times they would be more thorough with the cleaning, I think some places even cover remotes with plastic now. And the milk, although it seems minor for a hotel I think that's a really big error. During a pandemic I'd expect everything to be thoroughly sanitised in an accommodation place.

    • @JudeAussie

      Yes most certainly do cover remotes with plastic these days. I was surprised they didn’t do that here.

      Be aware you used to be able to buy single use tickets on the bus before. Now you can’t, so make sure you buy a pass at a newsagent or the railway station. However the driver will still let you ride without a ticket. Currently trains do offer tap and pay though.
