Enjoyed my stay, friendly staff. Although a big downside, music there was playing during the early night at a decent level, then abruptly was turned up at around 12am super loud on full blast that my room windows and doors were rattling and shaking with the over the top bass until 2:30 am. While it sounded like people constantly picking and skipping songs until they found one's they wanted to hear and blasted it on full blast!!! The music level went from an average sound level to rediculous full blast that shook my entire room for hours and hours!!!!! Who turns music up full blast at 12am when it was playing on decent level for the entire evening before 12am, especially when you have hotel guests that have paid good money for accommodation!! My Room was $400 a night and we didn't get much sleep at all. Would have given a 5 Star rating until that happened at midnight!! 😑

Affordable stay

Pretty much what I expected from a budget motel. Room was a bit tired and run down, but it was clean and quiet. Service from the reception staff could have been better. Attached hotel does a decent meal, and the location is conviently located a short walk from resturants, supermarkets, and the train line.

I recently stayed at the Waterloo Bay Hotel. The facilities were well-maintained, and I felt very safe, which added a lot of comfort to my stay. The staff stood out for their friendliness and professionalism. My room was well-kept, and clearly cared. It was evident that cleanliness and maintenance are a top priority at this hotel. Parking was a breeze, with ample space and easy access. The location itself was another highlight: conveniently situated close to shops, public transport, and a wide variety of dining options. Whether I wanted a to eat at the hotel or within walking distance. Overall, I recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and convenient place to stay with great service and plenty of nearby amenities.
