Great place to stay in Orange CBD. The staff were wonderful to speak with and very dedicated to their roles.
The renovated room was exceptional. The best room reno I have ever seen.

Great location just steps away from shops and Cook Park. Stayed 2 nights in the deluxe family room. Was spacious and clean. However quite noisy as expected as the motor lodge is facing summer road. Staff were lovely and check and check out was a breeze.

All very good until checkout

Booked online easily with a confirmation email quickly following. Three days before the stay (our first time at the Caleula), a welcoming email arrived with information that wasn't on the website. The email advised of surcharges of 1.7% for Visa/Mastercard and a whopping 2.8% for American Express. Didn't take much to decide that these were way too high so I replied that I would pay in cash. On arrival, reception was friendly and I was given a printed form to check my details, add car registration and sign. Just below my address was a section on method of payment so I ticked CASH, signed & dated the form and handed it back. There was no mention of payment at that stage so I assumed that it would be on checkout. Then I was shown how to exit and enter the motel if it was locked, and how to access our accommodation. All good. The accommodation was good - VERY clean, comfortable bed, quiet despite basically being on a highway, and the space in the unit was very good. Also worth a mention was the shower - perfect - and unlike so many these days, no water escaped to end up all over the bathroom floor. The next day on checkout, I was asked the room number and was told 'good to go - have a nice day'. I asked how that was possible if I haven't paid? Then I was advised that I had paid by Mastercard at 5:02pm the afternoon before. I said that I was to pay in cash as the surcharges were too high. Then I was told again 'have a nice day' as if to say that it's all sorted and that's the end of the story. I again stated that I had replied to an email stating that I would pay cash, and completed the booking form to also indicate payment by cash. Interrupted again 'have a nice day'. The person on reception this morning was getting quite surly and did NOT want to listen, or change the payment. She finally decided to refund the charge - 'do you have your credit card with you'? 'Of course'.
Okay - look - that says refund on the card machine. I had my card ready for the reversal and she again pointed out that it was a refund - look! I believe that I was well aware of that. That was done then I produced cash for payment - 'We do accept cash, but it must be the exact amount'. So as I asked my wife for the 'necessary' $6 in coin, my wife started to say that maybe the website needs updating with this information, but she was also interrupted with 'Have a nice day'. The person on reception was certainly in no mood to listen to either of us and appeared to just want us gone. When the CORRECT amount was paid, we heard 'Enjoy your day' as we started to leave. My wife mentioned (not loud enough) that the receptionist was the most obnoxious she had ever encountered. This was a good place to stay, we were pleasantly impressed with the room, cleanliness and quietness, but that was ruined by the receptionist on checkout. Except for her, we would have stayed again on our next visit to Orange.
