Comfortable budget room
Despite looking very rough from outside, our room was comfortable and clean, with a microwave that served well for heating our dinner. This is very much a budget hotel, as the price should suggest, but our experience was a lot better than those described in the other recent reviews. We stayed for a single night and found this hotel adequate, if not quite what it would appear to be based on the promotional photos and description.

Go elsewhere
The only good thing about the Waterfront Lodge is the manager Peter, he was courteous and helpful, he upgraded our room when the standard room allotted to us was dark and dismal, smelt terrible and was tucked into a little area beside the driveway. If you want waterfront views as the name and overview suggest, don't stay here, views are of the parking area with a glimpse water and on the other side it is of an overgrown, untidy vacant block. Although we were in a upgraded room, the pillows were like rocks (as they are in a lot of Motels) heating was a radiater, a fan in the cupboard for summer. We didn't use the electric blanket as it was faulty, the light kept flickering or not coming on at all. The photos on the website are misleading as is the name of the Motel. The only water views are from the smokers balcony and even then you are looking at a house and huge fuel storage silos. We could smell sewage at times during our 2 night stay. The front of the property is untidy and not very streetsmart. I would not recommend this Motel to anyone except maybe backpakers, although it is probably too pricey for them.

Reasonable budget accommodation if you have own transport
As the prices would suggest, this is budget accommodation and should be judged as such. This is not the Ritz, nor does it purport to be.Importantly the hotel is some distance from town so is only really convenient if you have a vehicle. However, it's less than 10mins drive from the city centre. There is insufficient parking for all rooms in the hotel (especially as most guests are likely to have cars); some overflow is available in a grassy yard next door.We booked through the RatesToGo website which implied that all rooms had a queen and single bed. In fact the room we booked, a "comfort room", was not specifically described on the website and had only a double bed which was not suitable for my party. There were no other such rooms available with a twin configuration. Management should make sure there is an accurate description on this website as at time of writing it still hasn't been fixed.Fortunately the manager was able to accommodate us in a Heritage Studio (in a renovated cottage out the back), which was a nicer standard of accommodation but is still budget level. Some rooms are up steep and narrow stairs, and the rooms are far from soundproof (not sure if the very loud couple next door realised this). The room had a heater but it was not able to provide much heat for the size of the room given the cool conditions (down to about 1 degree at night). There are blankets provided and we were warm enough but some might prefer being able to get the room temperature a bit higher.Our room was serviced on one day but not on another; not sure of the reason why.

I will never stay here again.
Stated in a Hertitage Studio. Certainly wasn't even close to a studio. Extremely noisy timber floors, fridge in room compressor constantly running, could hear all other guests noises down to a sneeze. Bathrooms really need updating, door handles falling off, lights not working. No A/C in room. To be honest I've stayed in better backpacker accommodation.

Please paint the room, fix the door and ensure enough guest parking spaces.
The rooms are really small, much smaller than on their website. The frnt desk closes at 8:00 pm with no one on site, slightly disquieting. No tv remote, walls need painting, not enough room for two people to move around bed. Better options closer to Hobert city centre.
