Lilac City Motor Inn & Steakhouse

Second time here. First time was an amazing experience! My expectations was really nothing of the sort for a 1 night stay. I just needed a bed as I was travelling and Goulburn was the 8 hour mark for me where I felt I should rest a little. Booked with a good price, just needed a bed for a night and had no expectations on anything really. Price was reasonable for a night stay and wasn't expecting to make the steakhouse dinner hours anyway at that time. I did not make the dinner time but that was okay. Didn't book it for the food even though it sounded pretty good and good prices too. Just needed a key and a sleep, that's all i was expecting. However! My stay was above and beyond all expectations i could fathom the first time. 8 months ago now(Time goes quick!) and I'm back! With the staff so friendly, welcoming, inviting, comfy room, and home like, I just had to book again! Tea and Coffee provided. Kettle, iron, extra pillows and blankets. TV and quite roomy! CLEAN room and everything you need. When I got home from travelling 8 months ago, I made a booking for the same place and room; and planned my future travel from this point. I just had to come back! Don't know why its only a 3 star. Very deserving of a 4*! They have such good food at the Steakhouse, ate breakfast there. The omelette was to die for! Bit of a let down as the steakhouse was closed this time round, really wanted to have dinner this time; but I did not book just for the food, I booked for the great(!), prior experience. Even though I booked 8 months in advanced I got the room I requested and had yet another amazing stay. I have to say, I will be back again when I travel next. This will be my go to for any travel outside Victoria to NSW. Probably regardless of wherever my travel will be to be honest. If this is slightly out by an hour of travel, I would detour and stay just cause of my prior, now 2 experiences. Dog friendly and comfy beds.

The room was clean and comfortable, nice new cabinetry, good tv and the bathroom had been updated. Comfortable bed. We were travelling with our small dog and this was the only pet friendly accommodation we could find. Continental breakfast was simple but appreciated as part of the room rate and Razi was lovely to meet us at check in and welcome us in the morning.

Value for money , quiet , warm and comfortable . Staff lovely . Great breakfast included . Location good .

Reception was fantastic when walking in! Easy booking online/booking app. Upon sitting on the single bed, I was feeling like it could be firmer but turns out I had the best sleep I've had in a very long time! There were coffee, tea, extra blankets, kettle, toaster, hair dryer, hand soap, TV, shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispensers in shower and well ventilated bathroom with a decent shower size. The room was small, but very cozy feeling and fit our purpose extremely well. Brilliant heater for the cold night! Yeah walls were quite thin so to speak, but no one staying there were disrespectful or loud. Hot breaky in the morning was fantastic. The omelette was huge, much bigger than expected and was so fluffy and perfectly cooked. It was a very clean room and well kept. Nice head boards and matching side table and desk under TV. All lights worked well, no issues the room at all. Would highly recommend for a night or even a few nights! Ill be going back in the near future 'Just cause' - as they were lovely and the food was great! Great pricing too. :) A+++++!

first time we stayed was a bit noisy, 2nd time much better as we had a room nearer the back
