Colombo Lodge Hotel

Room is clean but a little small. But for the price paid, it's acceptable. Good enough for a short stay. For guest with heavy luggage, you may wish to opt for ground level as there is no lift, only stairs.

I am a single woman. This place is an a dodgy part of town. It was smelly, there was dirty laundry down the hall, the room was dirty and small. I complained in a nice way and the manager refused to refund any money. He was totally unhelpful and didn't seem to care about the place, or people. Don't go there - it should be $50 per night!

Pretty tidy Lodge. We stayed 3 nights. Its was all good.

It's great for our needs- the right location, clean, and quiet. The manager is always so helpful.

I had booked a superior studio with kitchenette. After I checked in I discovered that I was not in the room that I had booked. The motel manager offered no apology, blaming ******* for the error, and due to the motel being full it was only possible to move to the correct room on my second night. As a result I had to eat breakfast out on the first morning, at extra expense. I was offered a free bottle of wine when I moved to booked room, but I could not accept it because I am allergic to wine - and I would not be less critical of the motel if I had been able to accept it. The room I had booked was a superior studio with kitchenette. It was equipped with a microwave, 8 dinner plates, 2 side plates, but *no* bowls. 4 wine glasses, 2 tumblers, 2 espresso-sized cups, but only one mug. 3 knives, 4 forks, but only 1 tablespoon, and *no* teaspoons. A bottle opener, but no can opener. No sharp knife, chopping board or other dishes & utensils. No tea towel for drying dishes (I used a towel from the shower room). Comfortable bed, good shower but a long wait for hot water, good a/c, quiet area at night. The safe in the room is tiny - only suitable to store cash, jewellery or phone-sized items. Free parking is directly behind the motel in reserved spaces numbered 17 to 24, or on the north side of Penbury St. There is a small supermarket next door to the motel. I would not stay here again, but it is probably fine if you are staying in a standard room and they don’t screw up your booking.

The room stunk of cigarette smoke when I entered, even though the posted sign says non-smoking area. The room didn’t have a window to open, which had been advertised, but the problem was there was no way to air it out. I told the manager, who came in and sprayed a deodorizer, which surprisingly helped a lot, but just masked the smell rather than eliminate it. No face cloth was provided. The room was good in every other way.
