Overall, the room provided what we needed. The floor was gritty and, i don't think it had been swept the day we arrived. There were 3 of us staying, only 2 coffee mugs. extra pillows would have been nice. A jug of milk would have been appreciated so we could have a much needed tea. The screen door of the shower was broken and missing a panel. We did eat in our room from there restaurant menu provided .The meals were lovely.
Clean but no lights worked. No toaster, no cutlery or plates. shower door jammed. Torn curtains. No extra pillows or blanket. Fridge was new but froze everything. Over priced for what we got. No more than a 1 star.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the motel itself was very run down unlike the photos. Curtains falling down, leaking tap, pool empty and gardens rubble. Needs immediate upgrade. No safe kids area to play.

This dated motel is located on the northern entry to Rockhampton. Suitable for the budget conscious car traveller, staying 1 to 2 nights, wanting a clean, comfortable bed, clean and renovated hot shower plus a microwave and tea/coffee facilities. Meals are available on site or a shopping centre and tavern just 1 km down the road.
The staff were amazing with great onsite food options. Parking directly outside your room was also good. The room itself though was horrible - broken tiles in shower, stained table clothes, dripping tap, and a burn in the carpet. It’s just very, very old and needs major refurbishment

Basic facilities missing eg hot water, milk. Dirty laundry stored in open area.
We were placed next to guests living on-site. Should be a separate area for short-term guests.
Very nice for a motel. Great dog area which was appreciated

Window didn’t lock, only had fly screen on window so anyone could have got it. Microwave didn’t work. Left charger I use for work behind, called hotel and they only had cord not wall socket. Ordered room service because resteraunt was closed due to short staff, ate with my hands as no cutlery was delivered with meal.
Very disappointed as we have stayed at this motel before several years ago could not believe it to be the same
Will not be back obviously doesn’t cater for the travellers looks to be the fifo clientele
To think it was $60 more than we paid for the night before accommodation so hard to believe
1cup 1 glass that was all the crockery
We stayed for 2 nights as we wanted to do a day trip around the area and this was the perfect base for us. The room was quite big as was the bathroom and all rooms in our wing had a door opening to quite a large open space with small individual tables and chair for each room to relax at. Didn’t try the in-house dining option. Would stay again.
Our room ranked among the worst we have encountered in many years of road travel. It was well past its use-by date, to say the least. We might have accepted that had it not also been dirty, poorly furnished and uncomfortable.
