Iv stayed in a lot of so called 5star hotels around the world and to be honest they could learn a lot from the Hotel Marvell. Needed an early check in due to a last minute online business meeting . I called the hotel . The staff were so accommodating. Throughout the stay all the staff were so friendly and Helpful.welcome drink dropped to room after arrival . Room was cleaned daily(twice) food was fresh and delicious. Asked for a late check out again no problem. There was no rushing me out the door to get the next customer in. All in all if I could give a 6 star rating I would.

The accommodation is not what we expected.

The accommodation is not what we expected. It needed work, cleaning and was very noisy with the trucks along the highway using their brakes. The shower curtain was moldy, shampoo, condition & soap dispenser had fallen off wall and left on ground. Freezer was dirty, glasses needed to washed & wiped of grime before using. Air-condition in room did not work. Images of room didn't match what the room looked like it was older with dodgy renovation patches. We got room service from the restaurant that incurred a & $10 fee. The meal of simple chicken burgers was inedible due to the excessive amount of sauce which even after wipe off with serviettes could not be eaten. On check out we took the meals & advised management. They apologized and said would follow up. No follow up .. disappointing. Do not stay or eat at this motel.

When planning our trip, we had to choose between Coffs Harbour and Port MacQuarie for a 2-night stay between Byron Bay and Hunter Valley. We chose wisely, as there's more going on in Port MacQuarie. We had a good brunch at the Salty Crew Kiosk on the beach, and a quiet, pleasant, evening meal at The Other Side italian.

My experience was awful. The place was dirty. The manager was very rude. She suggested that I leave the property because I complaint about the dirty, filthy pool. The outside furniture was dirty and broken. She refused to give me a refund of the amount of $270 per night. I stayed one night. The milk in the fridge was off. The lawns around the property were overgrown. There was cleaning utensils everywhere to be seen. I would not recommend this hotel, sorry. Regards, Kim
