Compact Rooms but Everything You Need

Review for Waterfront Lodge Motel The rooms at Waterfront Lodge Motel are a bit small, but they are well equipped with everything you need — plates, cutlery, a fridge, and a microwave. There is also a shared kitchen available, which is convenient. The motel is located right in front of the beautiful Derwent River, offering a lovely view. However, during our check in we had difficulty reaching staff during their stated service hours. We even found ourselves locked outside in the cold, and when we called, we were told it was their break time. If staff could be more available during the posted service hours, the experience would be much more welcoming.
