• Jodie (8/5): - Was perfect location for us. Definitely great value for 1 night stay
• Malcolm (8/5): - Clean & tidy for an older style motel.
• Anthony (8/5): Rocky Gem - The stay was great. John was fantastic with communication for late arrival. Yes the place is showing signs of age but the bed was great, the shower was hot and strong. I would stay again

• Keith (8/5): - Handy to all convenience
• Dorothy (6/5): - The room was sufficient. Bathroom vanity drain was very slow to empty.
• Ross (10/5): - Older property but clean and comfortable
• Margaret (10/5): - Great service and helpful staff
• Carey (6/5): - Older property right on the road, so traffic noise is an issue. Gentleman at reception was friendly & welcoming. Unfortunate that although the rooms themselves are non-smoking,(ashtray in front of room full of old butts) other guests on both sides & behind sit outside chuffing away & the smoke wafts under the door & through the bathroom window making the room smell like an ashtray. Bed was comfy & shower hot water pressure good, although grout was very dirty. Blockout curtains would be a good idea. Bedside lamps had cracked bases - not a good look. Thank goodness air con was strong. For a one night stay on a long trip it was welcome stop, but in all honesty could not recommend it. Needs a vigorous clean & updating.
• David (10/5): - The manager at reception was very warm and welcoming. The room was a good size with 2 Queen beds. Very cosy, great aircon and comfy beds.
• alex (10/5): - Great quiet, clean and comfortable place to stay near shops and restaurants
• DIANNE (10/5): - Although an older property this motel had everything we needed for a comfortable nights stay. I was greeted by a friendly gentleman, our room was at the back of the property, so nice and quiet, the room was large, the bed comfortable, the shower good. Wine glasses were even provided. Excellent value for money.
• Joerg (8/5): - The owner is a lovely person. He helps in any way.
• Lisa (10/5): - VERY spacious rooms for a motel, water pressure and temperature average if you want to get really picky. Close to heart of rockhampton servo right next door with aldi across the road. Alot of things to do and see very close with convenience of uber, door dash ect of local vendors overall well priced i would gladly stay again.
• Sonya (10/5): - Great place but the beds r like rocks!
• Debbie (8/5): - The bathroom is dated but clean. Good price & location.
• Michael (8/5): - Hot water takes forever to come through when turned on
• Robert (4/5): - The motel is old and doesn’t seem to have been renovated in a long while. On arrival, the room was not cleaned very well. A lot of dust on the bed heads. Cracked bedside lamps, with one broken light bulb. There was hair on the sink and shelf above the sink. The shower curtain had mould on it. The shower head was very old and did not disperse water evenly. The hot water took a long time to flow through. The room’s kettle was old and had scale buildup. The iron in the room was dirty and put black stains on the shirt that was ironed. The ironing board cover had stains on it. The gentleman at reception was very friendly and polite though. If the rooms were cleaned properly and updated a little, it would have been much better.
• Annette (4/5): - Very disappointed
• Verified traveler (6/5): Sadly cleanliness was not a priority - At first arrival we were happy with how everything looked. We didn’t have overly high expectations for the price. Unfortunately the cleanliness let it down. We have stayed in many budget motels traveling around the country and even though they were a cheaper price they were generally pretty clean. One of the beds had obviously not been checked or changed as there was clothing tags that had been left under the sheets. The plates looked like they had been scraped off and put back without washing and one of the wash clothes had definitively been used and not changed :( Maybe we just happened to stay on a bad day? We were only there for a quick stop between long drives but sadly we will not be using this motel again. The skipped hygiene was a put off.
• Melanie (10/5): - Helpful and friendly staff, laundry on site, undercover parking at your door. Well equipped self contained unit with lots of bench space, good to have full size fridge Which we could stay longer
• Gail (10/5): - Regular Customer absolutely love the place.
• Clair (6/5): - Quiet position. Easy check in. Bathroom was extremely clean. Lots of space, dining table and chairs. Large fridge freezer. The sofa and Chair needed upholstering. The bed and pillows were lumpy and old.
• Patti T (10/5): - Good
• Terrence (8/5): - Toaster and microwave oven included, large fridge. However, the soap dispenser in the shower was empty.
• Colleen (10/5): - Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable.
• Kerry's (10/5): - Lack of power points
• Henderika (10/5): - All good
• Carolyn (10/5): - After a very long drive up the Queensland coast, this lovely little motel was a comfortable place to sleep for one night. It was simple, but very cosy accommodation, with retro charm. The gentleman in the reception was very friendly and helpful. I recommend the Golden Fountain Motel to anyone who is looking for a clean, cosy and safe place to stay while on the road.
• Neola (8/5): - The property was old by very clean and tidy. Pity the manager wasn't there at 9.15 am to say thank you too. No one at reception area.

• Verified traveler (4/5): - We booked for non smoking. For a motel not fully booked we were placed next to two workers who sat outside their room door and were smoking and drinking. As our door was within 2 metres of their smoking we could not have it open let alone sit outside.At 4.00am in the morning they showered, flushed toilet and all could be heard in our room. I did mention this to the man at reception. At least four rooms either side of ours weren't even occupied. We were going to rebook for our return journey, however we will not stay there again nor recommend it. Regards. Rob.
