No complaints. Room was lovely and the bed was excellent. One minor thing I'd like to mention was there were no drinking or wine glasses and no coffee mugs only tea cups.

Bed was comfortable, but on castor wheels, on tiles. Bed kept moving backward, when I sat on it. Potential Health & Safety hazard, just waiting to happen. Note that mattress does have 'body indentations', where mattress is no longer bouncing back into shape. Grime around taps on vanity, is more than a few weeks old. Also around base of toilet. Housekeeping aren't performing duties well and management don't appear to be inspecting. Bathroom very compact. Not recommended for anyone of a larger build. I'm fairly small and I felt like 'Houdini', whilst sitting on toilet trying to reach the toilet paper. Whole space is out dated, but servicable if only needing a bed for a night. Every morning around 8am, ladies talking and giggling loudly outside front door. Great for guests wanting to sleep in. And early one evening, some sort of dispute between a couple. Shreking (not yelling), from both people for over half an hour. Then about 15-20 minutes later, started up again for another 10-15 minutes. 'Very peaceful'. Photo's attached, are all screenshots off a video I took.
Around base of toilet... no comment necessary.
No idea what the vent is for, but it's taking up surface space.
'tiny' freestanding TV, is only slightly larger than my tablet and cable is safety issue. I gave cable wide berth, so I didn't accidentally pull cable and TV smash on tiles. Both chairs, didn't sit all 4 legs flat on floor. They both rocked.
You need to remove the ironing board to use the wardrobe. However there's no aesthetically pleasing place to situate the ironing board or even an appropriate place to stow the ironing board.

Old but located in a central location in Emerald

We stayed at this motel because it was the closest accommodation to an event we were attending in Emerald. For one night, it was fine, and not overpriced. However, it is an old motel and in dire need of renovation. The exterior and gardens also require some TLC also and none of the photos actually reflect the true appearance of the motel. The bed was comfy and the air conditioner worked a treat. We received good communication from the staff prior to our stay with accurate instructions detailing the check in process.
