For the last three months the legal services market and legal profession has has a new regulator, the Legal Services Board (LSB). The LSB has been radical, fresh and stimulating in its approach to its tasks. (You can see its business plan here.) Under the Legal Services Act 2007 the legal profession (and market) is being shaken up in ways never before envisaged and the LSB has an important role in steering those changes.
One feature that has impressed me about the LSB has been its commitment to research. This has now been cemented by the establishment of a Research Strategy Group within the LSB to guide the LSB in this area. The LSB has invited me to be a member of this group and we have our first meeting soon.
There is no better time to be doing research in this area!

Although the play is quite impressive, Cristiano Ronaldo should be heartened defeated by Barcelona in the match Champions League semi-final first leg on Thursday (4/28/2011). Real Madrid striker is regretted that the red card earned by Pepe.
Real Madrid back to choosing a strategy to survive strictly on El Clasico match volume III, at the Santiago Bernabeu this. Cristiano Ronaldo was placed alone in the front as a striker. Unfortunately in the second half, goalkeeper Madrid have conceded two goals by Lionel Messi action.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not happy with the referee's decision to expel Wiolfgang Stark Pepe in the
second round. For the CR-7 shows that it is not the first time an important decision that could benefit Barcelona.
"It's always going to Barcelona. This is the fourth consecutive season that something like this always happens. Jose Mourinho is true, just look at what happened with Arsenal, Chelsea and Inter," said Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of the match, as reported by Goal.
"Barcelona are a fantastic team, but they also have many influences that can alter the game, both inside and outside the field," continued the Portuguese players.

Real Madrid Ronaldo admitted that his team did not play well. But, he explained that at least when Pepe did not red-carded, the game probably will not like this.
"It is true that we did not play well. However, all was still 0-0 at 11 vs. 11. We still might have scored. Now, it would be very difficult for us though," added Ronaldo.

Best Western
Clean, close to everything, exceptionally friendly hosts. Only down side was no crockery/cutlery in family room, noisy, but busy weekend in town. Lots of second hand smoke in our room from smokers outside/above

Hi Johnnybruds, Thank you for taking the time to review the Warby Lodge, we hope you had a safe trip home. Kind Regards, Jamie
Current owners are friendly and helpful to a fault; I was travelling on business and unsure of my length of stay but was assured that if I needed it, my booking was flexible to both shorten or extend. I was placed in the generously proportioned family suite and because of this had a lot of things I didn't need, one being a separate bathroom and toilet, quite a novelty these days! I also had QUIET air conditioning, a very comfortable bed and a TV screen that was large enough to see from more than a meter away! In summary, it's good bang for your buck with owners who are really willing to please.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi bruceblondamps, Thanks for your very generous review of the Warby Lodge, it is always pleasing and to some extent humbling when a guest takes the effort to write such a thorough review. We hope to see you back in our wonderful city of Wangaratta again soon. Kind Regards, Jamie
Very friendly owners/managers. Very clean room. We had a great spa bath. After a long day, it's a good way to relax. Fantastic restaurant next door or a quick walk into town. Happy to go back when next in Wangaratta.
Stayed here recently and can say it was an enjoyable stay. Currently the owners are renovating the bathrooms in the rooms. While mine was old it was still very clean. Shower was great. Bed was amazing, being a pillow top mattress. Cannot rave about the bed enough. Overall the room had everything I needed and was very clean. A number of restaurants in the area charge back which was handy. Owners are lovely and very helpful. And very conscious of ensuring the renovations did not impact your stay. A great stay and would definitely stay again.

Hi T5356VKbarbarah, Thanks for the lovely review and being understanding of our tradesmen. Hope to see you back in Wangaratta again soon. Kind Regards, Jamie
To break our journey from Cowra we stayed one night at this well located motel close to the town centre. Jamie was very helpful in suggesting venues to eat. Our room was on the ground floor, one queen bed and one single. It had good spaces for our suitcase and extras. A microwave, toaster and kettle were available. The bathroom was spacious and overall the room was very clean.

Thanks Panda055, Very grateful for your kind words and thank you very much for taking the time to write a review on the Warby Lodge. Hope to see you back in Wangaratta soon. Kind Regards, Jamie
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was upstairs and there was no lift only stairs to reach it. The room itself was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. We were not far from the shops and restaurants and there was a supermarket nearby. It was very quiet with no traffic noise.

Hi trish06_11, Thank you for taking the time to review the Warby Lodge, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay and suggest you call the motel direct if you would prefer a downstairs room. Safe Travels, Jamie
I had an overnight stay at the Best Western. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Accommodation was comfortable. The room was well equipped and spacious for a basic room. Overall all a very comfortable stay.
Good value, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff are efficient and friendly. If you're just passing through it's great place to rest up. I have stayed there on several occasions and have been happy each time
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi northme2, We love seeing great reviews, even better from someone who keeps coming back to our great town and stays with us. Look forward to your next stay and thank you again for taking the time to review the Warby Lodge :) Kind Regards, Jamie
Booked a superior room; found it to be minimally furnished. No couch, just a small table in the middle of the room with one chair. No soap in the bathroom (is this the trend now?). Car park tight. Sign at reception indicating only continental breakfast available. Pool closed.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi WXW3, We must apologise for no soap, we will double check our process. We would be happy to supply you soap so please call reception and i will deliver it to you. Our pool is not heated so therefore closed for winter. I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay at the Warby Lodge. Kind Regards, Jamie
Not sure if the air con was broken or if it has been deliberately set at a low maximum to save on energy bills. It took ages for our room to warm up. Although there was a temperature display on the remote, there certainly wasn't on the unit itself. The establishment also tends to skimp on toiletries and other essentials - like one ply bathroom tissue and an almost empty box of facial tissues. There was a lack of power points and a hairdryer that was more useful as an dirty ornament. Although there was a microwave and a toaster, it would have been thoughtful to have a couple of china plates available - even saucers would have been greatly appreciated. There was a little table for dining but only one chair. Reception was not exactly welcoming either. The only positive thing to stay about this motor inn was the really comfortable bed and close proximity to shops, cafes and restaurants.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi MelbourneDestany, All our rooms have working heaters and all guests are informed on arrival that if they have any issues to let us know as most problems with heaters are with settings on the remote. We are not the kind of motel that leaves cutlery in rooms as we pride ourselves on supplying freshly cleaned cutlery on request. Regardless i am disappointed you did not enjoy your stay at the Warby Lodge and trust you had a safe journey home. Regards, Jamie
My family and I recently stayed here as a quick stop over on our way back home after skiing at Hotham. We usually stay at Best Western as they are always in great condition and have great service, this was no exception. We only rang up around an hour before arrival and were able to quickly secure a multiple bed room - perfect for what we needed. Staff were really friendly and were able to accommodate our needs. Despite our hours there was always someone on call which was great and can't be said for all motels. The room was comfortable with great beds however did show its age a little. Shower also had great pressure and was easy to find the right temperature. A bonus was we were on the ground floor so could park our car right out the front. The motel also had free wifi however we did not use as we were not their long enough. Overall it was excellent for such a short stop and would be great for longer times also as it had a small kitchenette area with microwave, toaster etc. Will definitely return if we find ourselves in the area overnight!

Hi Oli_hprosser, Thank for your time and effort to write such a lovely review, we look forward to seeing you again. Kind Regards, Jamie

Hi Newytraveller53, Thank you very much for your kind review we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay. Safe Travels, Jamie
Comfortable, well located and good basic place to stay for business travel. Friendly staff who were dilident in responding to requests and problems. A pleasant one night stay in Wangaratta the suited the business travel.
Great motel for a quick stopover on the way up to Alps. Very clean 2br family unit, reasonable price. Firm comfortable beds. Aircons in both rooms, looked ancient but worked very well without being overly loud. A kitchen sink, what an excellent feature. I hate it when you only have the bathroom for kettle and washing up, so very happy to have a sink in the main room. Tea and coffee facilities provided, two wine glasses and bottle opener. No bowls or cutlery other than teaspoons although there is a toaster, presumably to use if you order breakfast to your room. We would happily stay here any time.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Fudgie53, Thank you for reviewing the Warby Lodge we are grateful for your time, hope to see you back in Wangaratta soon. Kind Regards, Jamie
The motel like many these days has been remodelled and the age is still apparent in some of the features. But the room had adequate lighting but insufficient power points requiring the use of double adaptors. The room was spacious and the extra sink in the kitchenette was most welcome. Although the weekend was busy we were not disturbed by noisy or nosy neighbours. We were disappointed to be placed upstairs being seniors but the proprietor was extremely welcoming and helpful to issues we raised. The motel is located within walking distance of the main shopping centre but it is hard to access when heading south and is easy to miss the entrance.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Caseydunbar, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on the Warby Lodge, we are disappointed you felt poorly treated by being placed up stairs this merely reflects your room choice of room type not us pacing you upstairs. Please feel free to call the motel on any future visits so we can best cater to your requirements. Kind Regards, Jamie
A short walk to the centre of town, not much longer to access the riverside developments, walking track. Easy access to the rail trail. Room was clean and the bed was excellent. Decor a little dated but the value cannot be questioned. Will return
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Trail31120867533, Thank you very much for taking the time to review the Warby Lodge we are very grateful that you chose to stay with us. Kind Regards, Jamie
Have stayed a few times here for work, you always get a very warm welcome from Jamie & other staff - even a complimentary beer/wine on arrival which is nice at the end of a long day/drive. The rooms are simple but have everything you need, comfy bed, couch, desk, kitchenette, TV, internet. No minibar but it's not hard to grab what you need. Aircon works great. My only complaint might be that whilst they don't allow smoking in the rooms, everyone stands outside their door, or on the 2nd floor landing & fags away, it's all in very close proximity & it means they battle to keep the stale smoke smell away. When you walk in the room you get a strong smell of air freshener/cleaning so they're doing their best, but after a while the smoke smell permeates through. Not sure what they can do about that really. There is a school nearby which you can hear in the mornings, but obviously not before 8.30 or so. I had no problems sleeping whatsoever. Great proximity to Watermarc Dining, possibly my favourite regional restaurant, just 2 doors down.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi DocSoop, We are very grateful you took the time to write a wonderful detailed review on the Warby Lodge..thank you! You are also on the mark with your comments on Watermarc Dining so so lucky to have a restaurant of that quality two doors from our motel. Safe travels, Jamie
Arrived to an overly heated room, curtains open to full sun. Air conditioner, while quiet, took some time to cool it to a reasonable temperature. Room was upstairs at the back directly beside the cleaners storage cupboard and facing onto the next door primary school. Both these factors made sleeping in impossible, the cleaners made no effort at all to go about their early start quietly. The bedding and bathroom were very clean. Tea/coffee facilities provided, so too a microwave and kitchen sink which might have been useful if there'd been crockery or cutlery provided, breakfast menu limited and overpriced. Wireless not fast. Request a downstairs room if you don't want to lug your gear upstairs
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi YolandaH866, Our weather can be hot in Wangaratta from time to time, we would be happy to pop the air conditioner on in advance for you in future. Our cleaners do not start until 9 am but we will caution them on their noise, the school children have never received a bad review before. Our compendium advises that cutlery is available on request and our breakfast menu has no cooked meal over $15. To ensure our WiFi is industry best practice we have hard wired cables to our rooms. The Warby Lodge is double story and i am personally on hand to carry any luggage to our upstairs suites. Kind Regards, Jamie
We stayed for a night in one of the family rooms, it had a seperate bedroom and then another queen and single bed in the common area. Was great to have the separate room for the children. Customer Service was great! Very friendly. Perfect for one night.

Hi Kiks1982, We are very grateful for your kind review of your stay at the Warby Lodge, hope to see you back in Wangaratta soon. Kind Regards, Jamie
Service: excellent and super friendly. Very accommodating and they'll make your stay an enjoyable one. Simple motel: rooms are okay and comfy, but dated. Budget motel, so just to be expected. No mini bar, but you can purchase items from reception. Breakfast options are actually pretty good. Hot breakfast delivery starts only from 7am - no earlier. Continental breakfast can be delivered the previous night or early in the morning. Small swimming pool, but enough to cool off after a long day. Standard room features and amenities. Laundry and a BBQ as well. Close to everything in Wang. First-time stay for work. Definitely worth considering.

Stay for one night on New Year's Eve, celebrations and fire works were a short walk to apex park and were good. Owner's are really nice and are willing to help where they can. Rooms are nice and clean with great air conditioning for the warmer Days!

Hi P-T-FUN, Great recommendation for our air conditioners, wow was it hot!! We are very grateful that you took the time to write us a wonderful review. Safe travels, Jamie
Clean, spacious and quiet. Staff very welcoming. Kitchen has microwave toaster and kettle. Indian restaurant across the road, also good one next door but we didn't reserve so no table. We went to the Hollywood which was excellent.

Hi Violet C, We are very grateful you took the time to review the Warby Lodge and that you enjoyed your stay, sorry that you missed at the Watermarc one of country Victoria's best restaurants. Hope to see you back in Wang soon :) Kind Regards, Jamie
Right from the booking I noticed a change in the way this Best Western did their thing.. On arrival which coincided with the Vic Police Head to Head fundraising walk support vehicles arriving in as well - the office provided information on parking for my vehicle & then to make the arrival even better complementary snack bar & a beer were provided.... these type of extra 1% efforts from the management made this stay worth the time to advise the readers of this site know.... The rooms are clean well lit with good comfortable furniture & bedding - the shower was of a great pressure even when the rooms next to me where using as well. In room dinner dinning is not catered for, as are many other locations around the state, but an absolute bonus is that the Watermark restaurant that would not be out of place in downtown Melbourne or Sydney is right next door & they do provide a take out option. The site does have a pool if you were keen to cool off & refresh over a beverage or two during the warmer months as well. Room service breakfast is very well priced & the portions are good & filling till the next time you graze. Will be returning as a happy customer next time..
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi davidrS4562NM, We are grateful you take reviewing motels as seriously as we take offering the best service possible, as you say we are very fortunate to have Watermarc Dining so close and agree they would not be out of place up against Melbourne and Sydney's best (Damian, Bec, Nic, Steff and of course Corni ....and the rest of the crew take a bow :) Our cleaning team (Christy, Tanya, Denise, Jo and Val) are a first class team and take pride in helping Wangaratta being remembered the right way! You have made our day writing such an awesome review and hope to see you back in Wang soon. Kind Regards, Jamie
Yes not as well appointed as the Quality, but I like the Warby better as the air-conditioning works. Some rooms are dated, yes, others are better, Room 8 is a good room. For some reason I do like the Warby.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review

Two story establishment of 30 or so rooms, the Warby is an older place that has been well maintained. The rooms were clean and neat, beds were comfortable, linen excellent and the amenities of good quality. Bathroom facilities of good standard. Service was excellent and prices reasonable. Recommended.

After reading reviews thought it looked ok. Really dirty and old. Very disappointed and will not stay here again. I found the staff rude and unhelpful and I just wonder if they were just having a bad day.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Rosietas, I am disappointed that you did not enjoy your stay and concerned that one you found your room dirty and two you found the staff rude, these two areas of customer satisfaction have been key focus areas for improvement over the last 14 months of ownership of the Warby Lodge. While i am unsure of the details of your stay i will take full responsibility and apologise. Regards, Jamie
This was my families tenth consecutive year staying at the Warby Lodge. Booked our 2 night stay online with ease & requested the same room that we have stayed in previously. The staff were great during check in / out & the room was clean & comfortable.

Hi Chris, Thrilled that after all these years we are still up to the mark, Jodie and I are grateful for your continued patronage. See you again soon, Kind Regards, Jamie
Overnight stay. Room was quite spacious but had a small table stuck in an awkward position in front of the couch. This didn't seem needed as there was ample desk/bench space for dining Parking was tight & no allocated spots. Only one spot outside two to three rooms so if you weren't there first bad luck. The bedside light wasn't working but was fixed immediately when I informed management on our departure. Shops were very close by as were a few budget eateries. There was a microwave in our room. Thursday night & the motel was full mid October. Management was friendly. Didn't see any other staff

We stayed here for a work trip, only 1 night. It was a good central spot. Only 2 minute drive to the main town. Great restaurant next door, rated very highly on trip advisor. Rooms were cleaned, bed comfortable. Good spot for a night or 2. The man at reception was very friendly and welcoming.

We were racing at Winton and this is quite handy. Rooms are good value and clean. Parking is convenient. Everything was good really. I'd stay again. My only complaint is the heating which is via a split system aircon and not fabulous but everything else made up for it.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Cymbid64, Really pleased you enjoyed your stay and by the sounds of it had a great weekend at Winton (what a fantastic group of people we hosted) look forward to seeing you next year with upgraded air conditioning. Kind Regards, Jamie

Hi Phil, We are very grateful you took the time to write a review on your stay at the Warby Lodge, look forward to seeing you in Wangaratta again soon. Kind Regards, Jamie
First time here. At first hey it is an ok room. However a little dark to try and do paperwork, the lighting is very poor. Then working the tv to find a basic everyday channel, 7 to be exact. Nothing in the compendium, nothing on how to work the tv. No restaurant. I asked reception about the tv they had no idea. I go out for dinner get back to my room and the dryer in the laundry is on. I ring reception and it will be turned off at 10pm. Hmmmm 10pm is a bit laye to constantly here the hum through the walls and into my room. Certainly not relaxing. It is clean enough, but just not my cup of tea.

8 rooms booked.Arrive after a 4 hour drive and told abruptly that check in is not till 2pm.Hmmm?No seating facilities outside rooms other than pool area.Not allowed to just sit there when pool is closed.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi David W, Sorry for your inconvenience, our regular check in time is 2pm unless previously organised and availability allows, in this instance the rooms were being cleaned. Our pool and BBQ area also has set opening and closing times, being inside this area outside of these times is not permitted unless previously organised and again I am sorry our policies inconvenienced your stay with us. Your suggestion for seating outside the rooms is a good idea and we will certainly look into this. Kind Regards, Jamie
Easy access from the Freeway makes this a nice location, and the internal courtyard makes this a quiet and secure location. Restaurants are only a short walk away, and hosts were very helpful. Had a problem with dripping A/C on a very humid day, and they willingly offered to change rooms. They did provide excellent customer relations to recognise Best Western status (unlike most motels) with special gifts (welcome cold beers or wine in our case!!!).
Jamie R, Manager at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi Leaddog83, Thank you for your lovely review, we really value our loyal clients and our association with Best Western and do our best to make everyone's stay as comfortable as possible. Wangaratta is a fantastic town with heaps to see and do so being so close to the CBD is a huge bonus, hope to see you back in Wang soon. P.S Next time you are up this way allow a little extra time to check out the wineries etc. in the King Valley. Kind Regards, Jamie
Having stayed at Best Western in Hobart, decided to stay here overnight. Excellent location, rooms are very good, bed really comfortable. Walked into town, and excellent restaurant next door. Front of house staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place.

In my line of work attention to detail and customer service is everything, no matter if The hotel is high end or budget. Management need to take a hard look at their practices and dramatically improve customer service in order to get repeat business. Asked for a late check out since we checked in at 9pm and was told no We don't offer that service, our staff are on a roster. A better response would have been (terribly sorry but we are booked out tomorrow and need adequate time to prepare the rooms for the next lot of guest.) Asked if you we could use the BBQ facility and also was told no, you can use the microwave in room.( BBQ facilities is displayed on web site) A better response would have been, (Your most welcome to use the BBQ facility) The room was out dated and didn't look like the photos on the Net. There was no plates or cutlery for guest to use. I Was asked if we would like milk, Serious milk should already be in fridge in the room as a standard. When I booked the hotel,I booked for two people, only one lot of towels provided in the room so we both had to share, And one tube of shampoo and one tube of conditioner for two people. This showed the hotel is clearly lacking service and are trying to save money by cutting corners, It also shows management do not value their clientele, comfort and needs. The hotel and management reflect badly towards the Best Western name or has the Best western hotel chain in general dropped there Quality and standards?

Stayed 3 nights while discovering King Valley for the first time. Excellent Motel every amenity required to enjoy your stay. Great accomodation plenty of free parking & very close to the city centre . Restaurant next door little pricey but good, 5 min walk too all fast food outlets & 5 mins to the centre of town. Rooms are excellent well equipped with everything you need. Has a microwave, fridge freezer, toaster , kettle & normal kitchenware.. also a laundry if required. Didn't use the pool area as was too cold but looked well maintained. Proprietors of this Motel are wonderful very friendly & helpful they ensure your stay is hassle free. I would highly recommend this Motel when in Wangaratta. Excellent thank you . We stayed in a Queen deluxe room.

Hi Snoopkitty, Thank you for taking the time to review the Warby Lodge we are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay while exploring the King Valley which must be one of Victoria's best kept secrets, hope to see you again soon. Kind Regards, Jamie & Jodie
My husband and I were part of a group travelling in vintage cars. We stayed here en route to and from Wagga. Jamie was most accommodating, which is why we decided to stay here on the return also. The room was very comfortable and the shower good and hot. We were given milk on arrival - in a small bottle - so much better than long life capsules! Rooms were clean, and we loved the fact that there is an excellent restaurant right next door - see separate review of Watermarc. Many thanks for making us all so welcome.

Hi, Tempsh We very much appreciate your kind words, your whole club is made up of a wonderful group of people and the passion you have for magnificent cars is inspiring. Look forward to seeing you again soon. Kind Regards, Jamie
My son and I arrived in Wangaratta after midnight as my granddaughter was involved in an accident. The hospital rang and got these wonderful people out of bed. They were so helpful. Firstly, I got lost and Jamie was happy to stay on the phone to ensure I arrived safely. One night turned into four and they were so friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We appreciated the extra pillows and blankets and even the heater turned on for us. Jamie and Jodie have recently taken over this business and we felt like we were leaving friends when we finally got underway. Highly recommended.
Jamie R, Owner at Best Western Warby Lodge Motor Inn, responded to this review
Hi, Thank you for taking the time to talk about your time with us it is greatly appreciated, it is always a pleasure to help the great staff at the Wangaratta Hospital and the families of patients. She is a very lucky girl to have such a great family. Best Wishes, Jamie
What we thought was a 5 hour trip to collect my child from the Wangaratta Hospital following a snowboarding accident turned into a 4 night stop over in Wangaratta. The first night we needed to book somewhere very late and Jamie and Jodie were very accommodating. The place was perfect for us - close to the hospital, amenities more than adequate, clean and customer service second to none. We thought each day would be the last day but would call up each evening for an additional night and they always made us very welcome and were happy to help in any way. Highly recommended.

Arrived as check in was closing and still was greeted with a smile. Receptionist was more then helpful showing me where I could access external power points and hoses to refill my work gear. Hotel room was warm and the bed was comfortable and the shower was amazing! Keep doing what your doing and I'll keep coming back. Thanks again.

Experienced the best customer service in travelling, Motel is not the most modern or sharp in presentation, however you will be hard pressed to find better care / service in any 5 star hotel. I would have loved to have seen Foxtel as an option, just personal preference. I would only consider staying at this motel in future Wangaratta visits as the service alone has me as a loyal fan. Dont expect all the luxuries but you can count on the service based on my experience.
Recently stayed two nights. Excellent sized room, comfortable bed and had everything needed. Good location right near main shopping strip and has easy off street parking. Reasonable price for an 80's style motel. Had a toaster and kettle in the room, but no crockery or cutlery.
I am not sure how many times we have stayed at this motel. We have family in Melbourne. The day's travel to Wangaratta is enough for us to get to the lovely regional city of Wangaratta in enough time for dinner and then continue the next day. I have no idea how many times we have stayed at Warby Lodge, but it is quite a few. We have a room next to the office. Habits apply to many things, including accommodation. So we go there. It is on the main road, at the end of the shopping centre and you can continue straight on to Melbourne. The facilities a spotless and I do like having that little packet of biscuits that not many places provide. We also enjoyed going to the restaurant next door, which was closed in October 2016 for new owners and renovations. We shall enjoy going there next time. If you want a stroll, there are two magnificent cathedrals in the vicinity, the Catholic and Anglican Cathedrals are very close to the motel. And for the mundane reality of life a huge Big W one street away....which I always pop into before hitting the road!
We stayed overnight, as we needed to be up bright and early to do the Ned Kelly CHase run, the man who checked us in, was so interesting and friendly, and we had a great chat. So close to Apex Park, so glad we stayed here. Thank you.
Pretty basic, although some rooms have recently been upgraded. Bed was comfortable but not great. Wifi was a bit unreliable. The positives: it's close to the main street for restaurants, and the river walk and reasonably priced.
We stayed one night in October and i liked the set out of the room. The Bed was comfy. We had a room with a big spa in it. Price was reasonable. There was a pool but it was too cold to swim. Central to shops. Well lit.
Stayed here for a couple of nights for business, the rooms are comfy and clean, the rooms we had were further back in the complex so away from the main road and quiet enough. Could do with a modernisation as its a bit dated but met our needs, many of the TV channels did not have great reception.
Really comfortable beds - had great sleeps. Large room with microwave, toaster and kettle. Pleasant staff who didn't have any issues helping me out when I locked myself out of my room. Only thing that would be helpful would be some plates/bowls and cutlery, there were only coffee cups in the room. Overall very pleasant and comfortable stay.
When stepping into the rooms you feel you are heading back to the 1980's. For a regional motel the rate of $128 for a Saturday Night was reasonable but the rooms could do with a full upgrade to enhance the guest experience. Overall the cleanliness of the motel itself was very good. Maybe a little more friendlier a greeting would help and being our first time in town maybe recommending some places to dine at rather than us having to go through the tourist brochures would have been nice.
A rather dated facility, cold, dreary & not staffed with the best customer minded person at the time. I found car parking next to room doors somewhat of a potential safety hazard if kids were about. The wall hangings in reception area seemed all on one theme (photos of old diggers) - something more generic would be in better taste I think.
On arrival walked into reception to check in. the guy eventually came down stairs, with no Hello, or any greeting, and I said I would like to check in and presented my printed Best Western confirmation. he looked at it, grunted and said "do you want that back". then proceed with the booking. I had booked for 1 adult, but at the last minute my partner decided to come, which I filled 2 adults onto the check in papers. He was miffed, and said we charge extra for 2 adults its not what you booked. I said "fine", but little explaination was given. No niceties like "that good or here for work, etc". then just handed the key. My partner has a dog,and it sleeps in the car. When the manager saw the dog he came fast and without any discussion bluntly and rudely with attitude said something like "no dogs in room, not at all, not at any time" and turned around and stomped back to office. At check in he was so rude, but this added to it. We were ready to walk out and stay at one of the good motels in Wangaratta. there are 2 within a few doors away. WARNING TO NOT STAY HERE.
Reminds me of road trip motels when I was a kid. Nothing has changed. Simple but convenient. Close to main city centre with lots of cafes and restaurants. Large clean rooms offer a good night's sleep and first thing in the morning easy access to Hume Hwy to Syd or Melb. These motels were once the back bone of towns along the Hume and I think they are now becoming revived. Maybe a new trend is slow travel - turn off the Hume and smell the country air.
My wife and I stayed here recently for two nights. The price was very reasonable, however there is no restaurant so meals had to be obtained elsewhere. The room is dated but very clean. The amenities in the room were adequate for our purposes. The "bar" is not cheap so beware of the prices there. The bed is solid and both of us believe it or not had good sleeps. The male person can't think of his name at present at the office is very pleasant and nothing is a problem. The breakfasts are very good and are delivered within the timeframes that you state, however beware of "add on's" pricing. Would we stay there again, yes as it basic but really you only put your head down to sleep. Also beware of the drop between the bathroom floor and the shower base and it also slopes towards the drain plug. Overall a comfortable place. The hotel has wifi but I didn't use it, I think you would have to ask for the password and most likely you will be charged for it. There is no conference room if you were thinking of having one there. there is a question below which asks "Is this a Classic Hotel" well yes it is if you only want to stay and sleep, in a sense it is classic in that sense. The hotel is close too the city centre and is also close to the "take away's of Kentucky fried, McDonalds etc apparently there is also a good Chinese restaurant adjacent to the hotel in in walking distance.
I travel for business frequently and whilst this establishment is showings its years you always get looked after. Mini bar has a selection of drinks and the guys make a great breakfast. It lacks cable tv but the internet speed is adequate if you have access to a streaming service.
Was set up in the Best Western warby lodge for a recent work visit as everything else in Wangaratta was booked out. Darryl (who was in charge) is the single most rude and arrogant man I have ever dealt with. Absolutely disgusting customer service, and will answer the phone with a grunt every time. The rooms are also not equipped with Eating utensils or Crockery, and God forbid you ask to borrow any. Yet the rooms supply a crappy miniature microwave, toaster and kettle (go figure) The shower heads hardly even disperse water and both times the water was cold. I also had random clothing items appear in my room in the evening as if someone had intruded and left their belongings in my room. No sense of security. The over all experience was super uncomfortable and I couldn't have been more thrilled to move my business elsewhere when the chance arose. 0/10 Would not recommend
Great place to stay when visiting this area! Close enough to restaurants and cafes but quiet and peaceful! The rooms are well appointed and clean! The hosts are very friendly and helpful! They recommended a restaurant for dinner which was lovely! Will definitely stay here again in the future!
Having read some of the other comments, I thought Id add my experience which seems to gel a bit. I did the wrong thing by mistakenly booking this motel ie it was not even in the right region in Victoria (Wangaratta instead of Warrnambool). While I was almost certain I'd booked for the Warrnambool trip, when the time came I couldn't find a reservation for Warrnambool anywhere and rebooked. I became aware of the Wangaratta booking when the property (doing the right thing) called me. I was booked in for a stay starting Saturday night and we spoke Sunday morning (I'd missed a call Saturday). At this point I let them know my error and that we wouldn't be arriving.and were not in the region. Ultimately, while the T&Cs stated any no shows would be charged a fee equivalent to the first nights accomm (which is perfectly reasonable), we were charged for the entire stay. I was given various reasons for this, including that they still had to hold the room the entire time in case we did show up! We found this all pretty disappointing, including as they were not fully booked and obviously wouldn't incur any housekeeping/laundering/etc costs for us. So I cant comment on the motel facilities, but just flagging to travellers to make sure you are cognisant if you are making any changes or have any issues, it may not be a good outcome at this property.
I arrived late in the afternoon and was greeted with a beautiful clean room, with everything I needed for a restful night. The bed was so comfortable, a lovely deep bath to soak in, and the hosts so welcoming and easy going.
Stayed here one night on business as it was the closest to my work budget. Clean rooms, friendly service. Fairly recently and reasonably renovated. Probably the best value in town for the budget I was on. Central to everything. The hotel is next to a primary school. If you don't like the noise of kids in the morning don't stay there. Didn't bother me at all. I work with kids and it was a happy sound of kids playing. It's also on the main road but I didn't notice any road noise at all.
excellent motel with friendly and helpful staff. very clean and up to date facilities great location. the gentleman at front reception was very helpfull with directions and pointed out places of interest .i would recommend this hotel as a very good place to stay
Service was poor- slow and unfriendly. When booking the website said Foxtel and room service however neither of these are offered at this hotel. They also couldn't provide any gluten free breakfast options. The walls to the rooms as so thin you can hear everything from all the rooms around you and outside. Rooms are dated.
We have stayed here twice & have found the motel very good on each occasion. Good location within walking distance to town & local services. It is quiet & located on the main road so it is easy to travel out for day trips to the surrounding areas.
Stopped for the night for work. Owner gruff but pleasant. Room ok, worn but bed comfy, clean and shower hot. Intrigued as my colleague's room next door was much more up to date than mine. Did renovations stop there? Close to Main Street and dinner. Tip: The espresso coffee on the breakfast menu is not. It's one of those very ordinary coffee bags.. Real espresso however, is available with a three minute walk to town. Thank goodness for the central location.
While on the main road this motel is very quiet because the through traffic is non-existent thanks to the city bypass road. The room we had was stunning - it was a 2 bedroom suite with a separate sitting room. All very spacious clean and above all, comfortable. The free Wi-Fi is fast enough to use streaming download to watch movies. It is just a short walk into the city center where there is a wide range of restaurants to choose from. Finally, ample and secure off street parking is provided.
NCJC-MW and Malcolm A - My wife and I have seen the two sides of the owner. He was surly on arrival and when we asked for an extra towel for my wife the air became chilly. however, after spending a minute or two being friendly seemed to pay off as he became friendly and stayed that way for the rest of our stay.... The room was clean tidy and cleaned beautifully during our stay. We had breakfast on our final day and it was filling and enjoyable. Would I stay here again? Good question, for its location and accessibility to shops, and restaurants most likely.
I stayed here for one night, and I have to say this was one of the worst places I have ever stayed! On arrival the male owner was rude and wasn't prepared to provide us with our free breakfast provided with the room and written on both my booking sheet and his! After agreeing that we would pay for some of the breakfast I let it go and moved on with my stay. The town is lovely by the way. The room is ok, but it's a little run down and dirty. When breakfast arrived at our room they gave us the wrong drinks, which is no big deal, but I do not like tomato juice, so on check out I gave back the unopened drinks and explained to the owner that he accidentally made a mistake, he shook his head and told me "the people who got the orange juice didn't complain" I proceeded to check out and he told me to pay more for the breakfast than what we agreed. He was speaking very rudely and I asked him if he spoke like this to all his customer to which he replied "no just you" I was shocked as I wasn't talking rudely to him (and even if I was this is no way to talk to anyone) I would not recommended this hotel to anyone.

The book
Following the success of "Andar per Trincee" (first volume of the series "Andar de Bora" edited by Alessandro Ambrosi) published in 2004 - ninety years since the outbreak of the First World War - Transalpina Editrice is now publishing a new book that comes exactly nintety years since the end of the First World War. "Trincee Nascoste" intends to keep alive the memory of men whose stories were lived on the Karst and still lie there under a thin layer of stones and tufts.
"Trincee Nascoste" is an unconventional book that invites memories of thousands of "poor fellows" of different nationalities who sacrificed their lives in that terrible tragedy and is at the same time an excursion guidebook to safely visit trenches that time and nature have hidden under vegetation - once the theatre of battle and bloodshed and now silent paths that a visitor can quietly rediscover on the splendid Karst plateau.
"Trincee Nascoste" is an easy-to-consult colour-pictures guidebook, complete with accurate bibliography and useful facts and information. Seven routes complete with colour maps are described by five experts of Karst battles. Their descriptions of historical events and practical excursion details will guide you to rediscover the old First World War trenches on the Karst around Trieste, Gorizia and Slovene villages.

And she is even training in the art of bird calling.
But the pop babe turned actress says one drawback is she gets covered in bird poo.
Billie, 31, who played a hooker in TV's The Secret Diary of a Call Girl, said: "Bird-watching is so British!
"We're among this really mad mix from an older generation. Some are slightly crazy.
"I've been pooped on. It's supposedly a good-luck charm. If it happens to you, hold that superstition in your heart."
"I started bird-watching because my five-year-old son, Winston, loves birds.
"Our obsession is black swans and we spend a lot of time in St James's Park in London. When feeding swans or pigeons, you have to be on your game. If you can get them at the wrong time of day, they can be quite aggressive."
But an interest in twitching is not all fun, with the beauty often embarrassed in public.
She added: "Bird calling in front of other people is embarrassing. I resist in public, but I'll go for it at home!"
Billie appears as Brona Croft, a poor Irish immigrant in Sky Atlantic's Penny Dreadful.
And she plays newspaper editor Paige Britain in Great Britain at the Lyttelton Theatre in London until September.

An Online Genealogy Guide by Owain Couch
If you've ever wondered about your family history, but are unsure where to start, then you definitely need to check out this amazing online genealogy guide. Owain Couch started this blog back in June 2016 after researching and publishing his own family history with his father.
My first experiences of family history was when I was a young boy. My father would recite stories to me regarding our ancestors. He would tell me over and over and over again, and yet I was never tired of hearing them. Some of these stories would go back as far as the mid 1700s. He would tell me all sorts of anecdotes and tales from different branches of my family tree.
The Genealogy Guide is crammed packed full of resources, tips and helpful information to turn novices, interested in ancestry, into seasoned family historians.
It is with great pleasure, I introduce Owain Couch and thegenealogyguide.com for this case study.
Q. Tell us a bit about you and your website
I'm a family man in my late thirties with a lovely wife and two beautiful daughters. I work full-time but also manage to find time to work on my genealogy site, which is now making enough to cover the costs of being online. This niche is just so fascinating as you just don't know who you will discover in your family tree, as well as what you will learn about them.
That's probably why genealogy is one of the worlds most popular hobbies (coming in second after gardening).
Q. How did you first get into this niche?
Because of my father who recited many family stories and anecdotes to me and my two brothers when we were young. In later years I realized how important it was to record these. And so as I did I became addicted to discovering my family history.
After self-publishing my family history and holding in my hands a book containing a wealth of so much personal history I wanted to give back to the genealogy world. So I created the website to help others build and research their family tree.
Q. What has been your biggest success with your website to date?
There have been a few. From getting my first sale, to being complimented on my site and also seeing my rankings slowly increase over time.
Q. What has been the most challenging part of your journey so far?
I would say trying to actually find the time to work on my site.
It doesn't help though when I learn new things and feel that I have to go back to old posts and improve them. But I feel whatever I am doing is a step in the right direction.
Q. Name the essential tools of your trade
- Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools because they can show me what posts people are looking at, what queries they are typing in, and generally my site's overall performance.
- Sumo plugin – Use this for email marketing. This tool has definitely helped me to get my site more exposure and help with ranking.
Q. What do you think are emerging trends in genealogy in 2018?
DNA testing is definitely a trend that has seen a rise in the last few years and will definitely see improvements in 2018 and beyond.
Q. What is the one piece of advice you would give to someone thinking about starting a blog?
Build your site on a hobby or pastime that you are passionate about. Even for me when I was first starting out it was tempting to just throw it all in when it got too hard. I'm sure I would have given up completely if I'd chosen a topic I wasn't passionate about. I would soon have given up when it got challenging.
If you are creating a blog just to try to create money, it won't work.

I love genealogy research. I used to do a lot of it years ago, when I could afford the Ancestry membership.
One of my books is actually based on some genealogy research. 🙂
What free resources can you suggest for someone who wants to start a genealogy hobby but doesn't want to invest a lot of money right away?
Thanks Karen.
There are plenty of free resources available to you. During the time that I have spent creating and researching for my genealogy site I have come across many.
And I have written a recent post where I cover all sorts of resources. Please check out the following link:
All the best with your genealogy research and hopefully I'll see you on my site 🙂
Owen seems to have picked a very interesting niche to use for his website. I'm glad that it is paying off for him and he gets to do something that he has a passion for.
I have some things that I am passionate about and consider hobbies, but I'm not so positive that I would be able to keep coming up with quality content to write posts about on it.
How do I know if I am actually going to be able to sustain my website off of my niche? Do you have any tips or insight on finding more to write about.
Thanks for your time in advance!
Thanks Karen for including a case study on me and my site. I am very flattered that you have done this.

Check out this awesome guide on how to bind an isolated hole in automotive carpet, submitted by Brent Parker of Brent Parker Motor Trimming in Glenorie, Australia. This how-to guide was originally published in our Auto Upholstery Forum.
Brent writes…
I'm going to run through a step-by-step guide on how to bind an isolated hole in carpet. Sometimes it's nice to not have to put a cut in from the edge of the carpet to bind the hole.
I'm sure a lot of you know how this technique is done, but for the guys who don't stay tuned.
First, cut the hole you require. I'm using some cheap vinyl to illustrate. Cut two pieces of vinyl about an inch bigger than the hole, then put vinyl underneath the carpet and trace the hole.
Grab the two pieces of vinyl and lay the one that's marked on top and sew the two pieces together following the line (use a small stitch length). Then cut the inside out very close to the stitches.
After you cut the hole out, turn it the way it's meant to be.
Then mark your circle with a vinyl pen or chinagraph where you're going to sew. But before you sew, glue one side of the vinyl and the underneath the carpet together.
Once you've glued the two pieces, making sure that your stitches are virtually touching the carpet so that it's even all round, turn it over and pull the other side through.
Now you're almost finished. Take it to the sewing machine, make sure you give it tension, start sewing on the line very slowly and carefully once again tensioning as you sew because you want it even all around.
Now trim your excess off very close to the stitches, do this slowly and carefully.
Here's the finished product:

Subscribe To Eddie Murphy Quits Oscar Hosting Gig Updates
I've already subscribed
I wrote this morning that the worst decision Eddie Murphy could make would be to step back from hosting the Oscars now that Brett Ratner is out as producer; turns out, he's done it anyway. The Academy has announced in a press release that Murphy ha withdrawn as the host of next year's awards, giving out this gracious but deliberately vague statement:
"First and foremost I want to say that I completely understand and support each party's decision with regard to a change of producers for this year's Academy Awards ceremony. I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I'm sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job."
It's not hard to predict why Murphy withdrew-- a notoriously press-shy actor who's done essentially nothing but vanity projects for the last decade or so ( save Dreamgirls), Murphy was likely resistant to hosting the show in the first place, and agreed to do it only thanks to his working relationship with Ratner. With Ratner gone, the respect and visibility Murphy would get from hosting the show probably isn't enough to keep him on board. Eddie Murphy earned the power long ago to work only with those he chooses, and it seemed unlikely the Academy would be able to choose another producer with the sway to keep Murphy in the fold.
So now, with a little more than three months to go until showtime, next year's Oscar ceremony is back at square one. All bets are off! Anybody could host! Anything is possible! We can hope that sense of possibility inspires the Academy to think smart and stick to what they do well, but as we all know, their desire to attract younger and newer viewers can lead to some dumb, dumb decisions (like hiring Brett Ratner in the first place, you might say). Its hard to imagine they'll find someone funnier than Murphy to find his place, but here's hoping their next picks for producer and host are at least a little less volatile.

'Division' by Craig Dorety at Johansson Projects
For every gadget or device that seems to make our life easier, count on another screen or site to clamor for our attention. Bay Area artist Craig Dorety, however, appears to have found a kind of quietly meditative alternative to technology's Sturm und Drang, amid a constellation of LEDs and digital imagery.
Call it a natural outgrowth of a Silicon Valley childhood spent with a father who worked for IBM and Sun Microsystems.
"Yeah, I'm trying to explore our relationship around technology a little bit by making very calming objects," Dorety says at his studio lodged in the Bayview-Hunters Point artists warren called Cataclysmic Megashear Ranch. "Because sometimes your smartphone and Facebook account can be kind of stressful.
"These are not. They're very calming."
Turn off the lights and darken the windows of his space - appointed with a laser cutting machine, 3-D printer and CNC router that he's "bootstrapped" - and small sculptures perched on ledges and medium-size works hung on the wall seem to surge to life. Designed with Adobe Illustrator using simple shapes like circles, squares or combinations thereof and then fashioned with as many as nine layers of aluminum composite, PVC and LEDs, the pieces appear to change, shift and maybe even subliminally signal, as layers and shapes seem to rack into focus then recede and fields of programmed LEDs run through mysterious spectrums.
The effect is both sensuous and mesmerizing.
The LEDs are playing back scanlined digital images that Dorety gathered off the Web. One interplay of offset circles throws out the ripe reds, pinks and oranges plucked from an image of fruits and vegetables, while the large "Collapsed Hyperbolae - Tiger in the Grass" is imbued with the organic repeating colors and patterns of a big cat alfresco.
Layering those animations of lines of pixels, the artist explains that "The image is playing back through time, but it's also warped in space. It's really a space-time object - a four-dimensional object derived from a two-dimensional thing."
"Because they're so technological and rigid, I'm trying to get life in there, so I have to use the natural as a source."
He's been hankering to do this kind of artwork since, at the age of 19, he worked with sculptor Randall Shiroma on a San Jose Museum of Art installation. One bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering later, from UC Davis, Dorety has been inspired by artists like Jim Campbell, for whom he regularly works. The two have collaborated on a piece for "Division."
"I think a lot about space-time, scientifically and philosophically and spiritually," Dorety says. "What it means to move forward through time while existing in space, and what it means to exist."
If you go
Division: Opens Saturday; reception 5-8 p.m. May 2. Through June 14. Noon-6 p.m. Thursday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. Saturday. Johansson Projects, 2300 Telegraph Ave., Oakland. (510) 444-9140. www.johanssonprojects.com.
