Ten Dollar Town Motel

After doing a lot of research for accommodation in the area we were looking for a family room that was great value for money. The Ten Dollar Motel exceeded our expectations. Firstly, you can't beat the price. Around $200 per night for 2 adults and 2 kids INCLUDING breakfast for 2 of us. And I'm not talking about a simple continental breakfast. A choice of fully cooked breakfast (we choose the bacon, eggs, tomatoes and 2 slices of toast) plus there was a selection of cheap options for the kids. Secondly, the room was HUGE. We stayed in room 23 and I must say it's probably the biggest family room we have stayed in, and we have stayed in lots of them. Yes its a bit dated but it was clean and very comfortable. About 40 m2 with a decent sized bathroom. Thirdly, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a little problem with the shower head on the first night (it was leaking from the back) so we informed the manager the following morning and within the hour we had a new shower head. It's rare to get that level of service these days. Lastly, you can't beat the location. Right in the middle of town within walking distance of everything in Gulgong. So if you're looking for a decent budget accommodation that ticks all the boxes, consider this little gem. We will definitely be back.

Glad we decided to stay in this quaint gorgeous town... what an absolute delight! Motel great for price. Free breakfast was fantastic. The friendliness and great customer service in every place we went made us wish we could stay longer.

The rooms are very clean and has everything one needs. The shower was a let down, no water pressure and small shower. The tap was hard to turn on, it leaked hence the tightness of the tap. The meal was very good with a discount for guests. Breakfast included. Just the best breakfast, no restrictions on the menu, cooked to perfection, very generous serves. Highly recomended.

Booked on booking.com it said breakfast included in final price. Arrived at hotel reception informed breakfast was for 2 people only we had a family of 5, i explained to the reception thats not what our booking said so he went on his profile and showed it said only for 2 ppl. I than went on the same website searched in every area and still couldn't find this myself even read the important information and everything. I showed the reception my booking said breakfast included in final price he still didn't honour the breakfast for all. He then asked if we wanted the smaller family room even though we paid for the larger one. We obviously declined. Wifi is absolutely useless. Motel said dinner is 7 days a week just to find out it is actually closed Sundays they may want to update there information in the information books in the rooms. Than the next day we went and had breakfast the free meals have there very own small menu so u cant pick from the normal menu which this isn't stated anywhere on booking neither. We also ordered a kids pancake and a adult pancake they came out exactly the same size and without icecream and maple syrup like advertised we went an complain and the lady said i will bring the maple syrup out but our icecream machine is broken. They should of informed us of this upon ordering because my kids would if changed their order. We also paid 19 dollars for the adults and it was the same size as the 9 dollar kids pancakes which we complained about and didn't get compensation for. The town is a nice town but wouldn't recommend staying here with their deals unless they make everything clear when booking. Very let down.

Everything was broken.....fridge, Bathroom door didn't close, door handle falling off, TV didn't work, curtain falling off track, bedspread dirty, not told about complimentary breakfast. A complete shambles. Only redeeming feature was the breakfast....across the road at a cafe, and a lovely lady cooked the best breakfast. Otherwise, the place was a disgrace....how it has so many positive reviews is a mystery or a fraud.

An amazingly rustic motel in the centre of an old rustic mining town, close to everything, offers free breakfast , you feel like you have stepped back in time when you walk the narrow street

A great place to spend a few days. What a fantastic little cosy motel right in the middle of town. Very hearty and healthy included brekky as well. Enjoy Gulgong! Well worth a visit and stay. We were here mid week.

Reasonable price, included good breakfast at Larsens across the street, convenient location in town (easy walk to see the shops in the town main and adjoining streets), clean and everything worked well (while a bit dated they worked and the shower was the best of all on this little journey).
