The room we stayed in was tidy and clean. It had a fridge, microwave and kettle which is very convenient especially if you’re doing road trips. They also offer some breakfast items at the reception before you need to go to room which again very convenient.

Renovated Hotel

Room was renovated apart from bathroom. Very clean. For a dog friendly room which are usually the worst of the property, the room was lovely. Reception staff were welcoming and very helpful. It’s not the motel’s fault but people were chatting outside up until around 2am. They were permanent or semi permanent guests and didn’t give two hoots for anyone. The hotel should consider moving smoking areas a long way from guests as that is where they meet up. There was traffic noise but it wasn’t bad and expected. Reception staff were the highlight, oh and the great Thai restaurant next door.

No consideration for other people

Great check in. However we had a early get up, in between travelling, so needed a good nights sleep. It was me, my partner and my 5 year old. The people in the room next to us was super loud all night up until 12am. Constantly slamming door, in and out and dogs barking. Loud voices. No respect. Was super hard to sleep and very disappointing. We had to get up at 3am. The TV reception cord was snapped off so we couldn't use the TV either.

The manager is so friendly and helpful. Breakfast of cereal and toast is included in the price and I had a pet friendly room. The tariff cost an extra $20 for my dog. The bed was amazing. Soooo comfortable.

The property has new owners, and they are slowly making improvements. It was a great little spot, and the customer service was A, but the outdated facilities and lack of a kitchenette or a collective cooking area were drawbacks. I look forward to seeing the improvements the new owners have made again.

We would never stay there again. Room was dirty. Rubbish on landing outside of our room. Carpet on outside stairway filthy and seemed to be permanent unsavoury residents which made us feel unsafe. Rooms when we arrived were advertised for $99.00. We paid over $150 To be honest someone would have to pay me to stay there again. It is not often that I take this much time to review.

Location and price are probably the only good things about this place. Entered the room on the first day and found crumbs all over the bed and bedside table as well as part of a plastic wrapper. Not sure if it was just my room, which was 20, or if other rooms are the same but I was woken up multiple times through the night by loud tapping noises in the roof, as well as the sound of water rushing through pipes above me. The hot water system can't keep up with multiple showers at once, I constantly had to adjust between scalding hot and cold every time. The aircon isn't big enough for the room, barely does the job. The walls are quite thin, I spent most of the Thursday night trying to block out the late night conversations happening in the room next to me with a pillow. The whole place just needs an update in general. I did have a future booking as I am travelling to Rockhampton for work again next week but I have cancelled to go elsewhere.
