Our room was lovely. It had a large TV, microwave, crockery and cutlery. We loved the area behind the motel with a walking track. We also liked Wangaratta with beautiful off leash areas by the river and walking track.

Clean and honestly from the outside looks like your average 80s motel but it is probably one of the nicest motels in country vic. Clean, tidy, friendly staff, ticks all the boxes. We will be back.

This motel was excellent value - clean and comfortable, safe and unexpectedly quiet. Interiors are better than the dated exterior would suggest Smart TV and good aircon. Good parking.
Walkable to a beautiful river park and the town centre.

Friendly and clean. Because this motel allows dogs, guests are very chatty and approachable.
It’s basic accomodation, but has everything you need for an overnight stay

We chose Advance for its pet friendly option.
Staff were incredibly helpful and our greyhound had two very good nights sleep in with us.
We need more hotels to be like this. ❤️

Comfy, clean beds and generally fine, but a number of dead crickets in the room. Step up to get into old-style shower a challenge for elderly guest. Ashtray on outside table had not been emptied.
