Martin Cash Motel Reviews
We wanted a cheap motel for a couple of nights and thought we’d save money here. Well, heck. This place is fabulous. All mod cons, not a noisy street, and charming staff. I wish there were a Martin Cash Motel in every city I visit.

We have just spent 10nights at this motel.The staff were very friendly and helpful for information. Very comfortable and clean.Close to transport and shops. Hotel next door for really affordable meals. Will be staying there next year when we return. Thank you to all the staff.

We had a really good experience at the Motel. We stayed at the back yard apartments and is amazing how you can avoid the noise from the route. The room was very clean and cosy, and enough big to feel free to move from the little kitchen to the couch and the bed. Bed was comfortable and the system to warm up the room was very efficient. Just need thick big towels to be perfect.

We checked in on a Sunday around 4pm. Unbeknown to us the staff were well gone. There is a self-check in service and a phone with no one at the other end of it. Apparently, they had no details of mine, which was hard to believe. Not sure how I managed to make a booking without any details. Anyway, I was sitting on the chair in front of reception wondering how was going to get into my room or would I need to sleep in my car. We were fortunate that one of the other guests came past and they couldn't get in either. They gave us a number to call, which was the sister company. Thankfully this person was able to get us checked in. Did the manager come and welcome us the next day? Not at all. We stayed for four days. Such bad service. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

This is a great motel if you want a basic room that's clean. The service was very friendly especially Vicky who went out of her way to get an item back to me that I left behind. The location is good wirh lots of food option surrounding you.

This hotel is a 1970s time capsule. it needs to be upgraded badly. Although clean, the building and rooms are old and dated and need renovation. they still had shower curtain which is no longer recommended for hygiene purposes. no air conditioning. a fan in the cupboard is provided if you need it. it is ok for budget accommodation. our room had the microwave and coffee-making facilities in the bathroom area separated by a brick partition. I am sure it is not recommended by hygiene standards.

The services provided, breakfast, room facilities comfortable bed, extra blankets etc all very good. On the down side the ablution area needed maintenance with mould from sealant on hand basin and shower removed and broken tile in shower replaced. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The room is very good, full of supplies, including hair dryer and iron, microwave .. the receptionist is very friendly and enthusiastic.
I feel very lucky to meet Danielle, because She knew I left the phone, she was very enthusiastic to help me call to redline and the hotel to get it back.
I am very pleased with this hotel.

The bed was really comfortable - clearly the motel cares about comfort, which is not always the case with motels at this price. Conveniently located - the road isn’t all that busy. Also, the iron was a very good, modern one - also unusual for a motel this price. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Stayed 5 nights in one of the rooms at the rear of the property.||There are many other rooms at the front of the property.||The room was a good size and spotless. Great shower, fridge, microwave etc.||Comfortable bed.||Fantastic friendly efficient staff.||Good reliable free wi fi.||Light breakfasts are delivered to your room.||Unfortunately inconsiderate, noisy guests were up yelling until 3 am on our last night.||Overall a very welcoming and comfortable stay.||Very close to eateries and supermarkets.

Perfect location and just a 15mins drive to the CBD. Accessibility is so good to this motel. You Gotta try the restaurant down the main street road which is 2 mins from the motel.

On a noisy road. The room was reasonably clean, but in real need of an update. The sofa was disgusting, so I really didn't want to sit on it. Stayed 2 nights, convenient location, staff were friendly. Very much a run of the mill motel. A bit crampt, not someplace we wanted to relax or hang in. Wifi was very weak/intermittent, & you had to re-log in every 4 hours. Cheap though, so you get what you pay for. They did require a credit card (not debit card) imprint on arrival, which they didn't advise until the day before we arrived by email.

Nice sized room. After hours automated check in was easy and hassle free. Had everything you needed. Only downside was the room smelt strongly of cigarette smoke. Not good for asthmatic guests.

I was pleased with the ability to check in any time, and the location is great, but that’s about all it had going for it. The rooms are old and outdated, the space was very cramped for the four of us, no air conditioning for the summer heat (33°C at 9pm), just a standing fan which rattled.||24 hour check-in proved awkward because it allows anyone to book a room anytime; there were guests coming in in the early hours of the morning (1-2am) and slamming doors, running up stairs, etc. I have it the benefit of the doubt after the first night of noise, but despite having besserblock walls, they are thin and you hear everything, including a blood-curdling scream and domestic argument in the room next door on our second night (at approximately 12:30am) which woke me and I feared for our safety. ||Staff were friendly but I would not stay again based on this experience - would rather pay the extra money for a quiet hotel room.

Great place to stay because of location. It's close to shopping and eating places as well as highways to take you on site seeing adventures.
A couple of things that was annoying, the sign out the front was not always illuminated which caused us to drive right past a couple of times early in our stay, but the plumbing was noisy. Every time someone was brushing their teeth, having a shower or flushing the toilet in the other units, the noise of the running water would resonate through our unit. The people next to our unit would flush their toilet 3 or 4 times a night.
The cleaning staff were very friendly and obliging if an extra towel or service was required. The price for our stay was very reasonable and the unit was clean and comfortable. A very big plus was that once the door was closed, traffic noise was very minimal compared to other places we've stayed.

Great budget accommodation that has excellent staff who are very helpful, also the hotel is located very well with food options next door and across the road.

Good location between Hobart and Mona if you have a car but there is a city bus service nearby as well. Heaps of amenities close, supermarkets, restaurants etc. On a main road but noise didn't bother me, gets quiet at night anyway.
Very decent sized room for a decent price, they could probably lift their game with heating, especially deep in the middle of winter, but overall good.

Fabulous roomy accommodation, comfortable bed, awesome shower, and everything we needed for a 3 night stay was here. Serviced daily, and certainly value for money, can definitely recommend Martin Cash Motel.

After hours check in at 1pm. Didn't work. Had to call Riverfront motel for assistance and get security company to assist. Security company employee was great. Then found out there was no booking even though the lady rang the day before to confirm!
Over an hour later finally got into room.
Very poor system. Won't be back

A cheap motel in desperate need of some updating. Stayed purely due to price. Unfortunately the mattress was poor, and the bathroom was full of mould. Staff absolutely lovely to deal with and location is great.

Absolutely terrible motel, not even worth a 1 star rating. All the receptionists have their heads shoved really far up their own behinds. The service is awful, it's not the 24 hour check in it states it is, it's only open between 9am and 12pm. Most of the cleaners are beyond useless, none of the walls or tiled floors have been cleaned since the 60's or maybe even earlier. Also, for 3 days during my final weeks stay, there was no water in any of the rooms, and when it finally came back, it was a murky dark orangey-brown colour. Disgusting. Also, their is currently a darn rat family infestation, have video evidence of all of this.
