2/10 Poor

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.

We will never stay here again. The room was very unkept. It was a pet friendly room. There looked to be a faeces stain on the floor. It hadn’t been cleaned very well. Bits of alfoil (which we didn’t bring). Human hair which was not ours. Some stuck to shower room door. The sink had paint stuck to it and stains. The laminate was stained and lifting ( looking like water damage). There was a tile missing from the shower. One of the windows had been smashed prior to our arrival. There were bits of metal screwed to the walls. Rusted. The fridge cavity was falling apart. The free breakfast was small sachets of cereal which we did not use. The single bed seemed to have a somewhat broken base. When sitting on the bed, it sagged down so close to the ground. Two adults so we shared the queen bed. Sheets wrapped either side of the blanket, after seeing the rest of the room, I was quite concerned about the cleanliness of the blanket. Lucky we had blankets in the car. Loud neighbours next door. Difficult to walk past the table and chairs on the walkway when carrying a bag. The railings to walk upstairs have not been cleaned in a very long time, I am guessing. The one interaction we had with a staff member was pleasant. Then I was advised there would be no power from 8 am - 3 pm. This would have been nice to know when booking. It does not look like the photos. No mirrors at all.

At first look not confident I had chosen well but the room was clean, it was quiet and motel was family orientated. Families staying with their kids and pets which was reassuring. Staff were helpful and friendly.

It’s very clean & reception staff are friendly. However it’s very dated & not at all sound proof. Could also do with some new beds.

Quick Stay
The Motel was aged but OK for what we needed - a bed in the middle of the night and a hot shower next morning. Graham was more than accommodating, very helpful and friendly.

The office staff were very friendly. The room was exceptionally clean, the housekeepers do an amazing job. The price was very reasonable, and free breakfast was a bonus. Apart from the traffic noise which is expected being on a main road, the place and service is great.

Very Budget Motel
Rooms starting from $79 the sign outside says. I booked online and paid over $100 but got the budget room. Smashed, cracked bathroom window. Paper thin walls, can hear every car passing by and all the guests unloading & loading. Upstairs a guest scraped hotel furniture across the floor every time they moved around. Could hear their footsteps all night long. Didn't feel safe here. Will not stay here again.

Walls are that thin you can hear the person in the next room. Road noise as well. Room had paint peeling off the walls, On a good note, they welcome dogs.
