It's a pub with motel units in a smallish regional town. Stayed here to break up a longish trip. Got exactly what I expected. Nothing wrong. Just pretty basic and old and tired. But clean enough and a comfortable bed. Pretty noisy environment. Trains through the night and plenty of noise started early in the morning from workers in the area. But not much the pub can do about that

Although check-in was a little confusing you went to one of the bars and the barmaid checked you in. The units were in a separate building from the hotel and the hotel itself made no impact on the quietness or accommodation. I would stay there any time I was passing thru Sarina rather than going on to Mackay, 9 out of 10 for a motel type accommodation.
