Guest Reviews

• happychook_13 (10/5): Stay here - Book foe 3 adults and a small dog. Could not have been happier large unit..lovely kitchen..awsome view..very clean comfy beds ..nice warm welcome from owners ..would very happily stay there again ..thanks guys you are doing a great job
• Bellablu2013 (8/5): Mixed review - This motel is on a great spot, close to town, and on a hill with views over the harbour and city. The bonus for us was it was pet friendly there was 4 of us with 2 dogs, and it was great to find a reasonable priced pet friendly motel. Although the room was dated and basic, it was clean, with a separate bedroom, and 2 single beds and a lounge in the living space. The kitchen was basic, but did have a large fridge, microwave, stove top and cooking utensils, cutlery, plates and glasses. There was a sign saying to use the supplied products to leave room in clean condition, but could only find a tea towel. Thankfully I always carry a ‘go pack’ with cloths and detergent.
• Mark (8/5): Great budget stopover. - A quick overnight stay for business. Cheap and cheerful. Perfect for a budget stopover when travelling.
• karinasQ7347TD (2/5): Don’t stay therr - Booked a two bedroom unit and was given a 1 bedroom unit with refund of the difference. The shower mould throughout, the skirting board had caked on grime on them. The air conditioner had dirt and dust hanging off the grill, god knows what the filter looked like. There was 4 of us and it was supposed the self contained; however, there was only 2 knives and forks, 1 teaspoon. The fridge whilst it appeared new sounded like a wind tunnel. This a good place to avoid
• Diane (8/5): Soft large big white towels a luxury - I waS a little disappointed that they put us in a room that the wifi did not work, but I have to say the bed was very comfortable and I had the best nights sleep that I have had in ages. The room was very clean, was so happy with the lovely big soft towels have often been in hotels where they give you little towels I’m a larger person and to have a towel that can wrap around your body is a luxury so very pleased. The room is outdated but the facilities are good, frig, air conditioner, nice to have cutlery as we were able to make our own breakfast so overall so the price was a good experience would stay again. Hopefully they can fix the wifi problem. Great view and nice hot water.
• louisebZ2834VD (2/5): Smelled of drugs - I stayed at this motel and although the accomodation was great the smell of marijuana coming from the managers outdoor area was disgusting. It was rather concerning as I am driving and didn’t want to be arrested if it was found in my system. I didn’t say anything as I was afraid too and didn’t even want to write a review but now have felt it’s important. It really was so strong. Stay away.
• 531carolynr (8/5): Lovely stay with sensational views - I stayed three nights while visiting for the local dog shows. Accommodation is very comfortable and clean. Pet friendly!!! Staff very friendly and helpful. The views over the harbour are breathtaking!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The view was beautiful and the unit was great very clean with everything in it that we needed no noise very peaceful
• Viv (10/5): - Wow! Had a room with an Awesome view,was unbelieveable at night, was Beautiful. From checkin to checkout was fantastic service.This is definately a place we will come back too. Thankyou we enjoyed our time here .
• JLalime (10/5): Great location, price & pets welcome - Having traveled from Brisbane, I'd had a long day, but the lady greeted me so warmly it was lovely. The bonus was that I was traveling with my dog, who is very anxious so wanted somewhere pet friendly. A ground floor room was just the right thing. Lovely decor, comfortable bed, great shower, a microwave, cutlery, jug, toaster etc. were all there! Great place to stay. Quiet, great view and easy to get to places around Gladstone if needed.
• 947stormj (10/5): Wow - One of the best motels I've been in for a long time, pet friendly, staff is amazing, huge double room, comfy beds, tv, fridge, microwave, table, chairs, etc.. Amazing views overlooking the city and the harbour
• 568amy (10/5): Will be back! - My partner, myself and our dog stayed here one night as a half way mark on our drive to Airlie Beach from Brisbane. Yvonne was very welcoming to all three of us and she was a pleasure to deal with in person and over the phone when booking. This was my first time staying at a dog friendly motel and it was much cleaner than I had expected. Our dog was allowed in the room with us, which was great! We arrived at night and had a beautiful view of the lights in the town and in the morning, the ocean. Location is quiet and peaceful and the supermarket is a short walk away as well. This will now be our stopping place when doing that drive again. Thank you for having us.
• 173elisea (10/5): Friendly and Clean - Very friendly and helpful staff, clean and tidy rooms, pet friendly, beautiful pool. Can definitely recommend. Staff gave helpful recommendations about local attractions and restaurants. We were only passing through and needed somewhere last minute, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful.
• KazP2109 (8/5): Couldn't fault it - Yvonne was so welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Clean, comfortable, spacious room and fantastic views. Pool was wonderful to float around in. Very quiet, peaceful surrounds. Feels like your a million miles from anywhere but allthe facilities are so close by.
• Timothy (10/5): Nice budget stay on a hill. - Very friendly staff. Beds were comfortable, also room was incredibly clean. Location was great and our room had a nice view. Place looked very old when i arrived, but i was quite pleased with everything once i settled in. Kinda wish i stayed longer.
• marvins0531 (10/5): Somewhere we didn't stay BUT cannot fault service - We arrived in Gladstone late on ANZAC Day to find nearly everything shut, as expected. We desperately needed a Motel/Hotel which had a restaurant as we had left home in a hurry due to personal circumstances. Unfortunately this Motel does not have a restaurant and because it was ANZAC Day everything close was shut. Yvonne not only advised us where to go but also directed us in via the phone to make sure we got to our destination. This is service beyond expectation and needs to be recognised.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Welcoming with great views. - Very friendly and helpful staff. Lovely views of the harbour and pet friendly.
• Charmaine (6/5): Ok motel. Wouldn't stay for more than a night. - Positive: Being located at the top of the hill, we got a great view of the harbour. They made use of the accomodation in creating a "patio" which I liked and thought was creative in the idea--place a short fence. Negative: Wouldn't stay there again. The interior design was a bit mismatched. Not much room. Bit musty.
• Chin Hian (6/5): Hotel With Great Views - The hotel is fairly average. However the staff was helpful and friendly.
• Mark (10/5): Lovely place with excellent view - Couldn't fault. Very acceptable room with everything working to perfection. The owner was very helpful.
• StevenS372 (10/5): Spot on - This is a fairly old motel but it has been very well maintained over the years and still presents very well. The on-site manageress (if we still have manageresses in 2016) couldn't be more friendly and helpful if her life depended on it, and the accommodation was so spotless and homely we extended our one night stay to three. If something in the region of $90 a night matches your preferred price range, you could do a whole lot worse than staying here.
• clockers9999 (10/5): A very warm welcome - We booked for 1 night but stayed for 3 as we liked it so much. Yvonne was a great asset for this motel. She was so helpful and always so cheerful. The motel is a bit dated but has been kept very well maintained and everything was spotless. The room was large, airy and had lots of natural sunlight. The bed was super comfy and we slept well as there was no noise. The kitchen had a large microwave and fridge, a proper sink and lots of crockery and cutlery etc.everything we needed. If we ever go to Gladstone again we would have no hesitation in staying there. It was great value.
• zoeTownsville (8/5): Wonderful Staff - We had a forced stop in Gladstone and the RACQ put us up in this motel overnight.What a lovely lady welcomed us,it was very late ,she couldn'tdo enough to make sure we were comfortable ,her name was Yvonne Williams,thank you Yvonne for your care as we had had a breakdown with our car in the dark.The motel sits right on top of a hill overlooking the Gladstone harbour,what a great view if you were staying there longer.
• Adventurer547 (8/5): Best view ever! - We were there for a week in winter. Nice spacious room for 2 but it was disappointed to see that the aircon is working with a deafening noise, no face washes were supplied. There were cooking materials there, but no oven top. Did not worry us much because we have lunch and dinners at our relatives everyday...We had a room on top hill where we admire the sun rising every morning from balcony. I will be back again though!

• Di (10/5): - Close to town
• John_M255115 (6/5): Quite OK for an overnight stay - Situated on a steep rise in a patch of suburbia with pleasant views towards the sea and the mass of industry on which Gladstone survives. An old fashioned motel and if our studio room is reflective of the complex as a whole is overdue for a refurb. Nevertheless the room did contain a good size TV, microwave, toaster and hairdryer. A sign on the wall said that on vacating the room the kitchen facilities must be left as they were found, otherwise a cleaning fee of $150 will be charged. However there was no kitchen sink so we had to use the basin in the bathroom ( we discovered this set up was common in the older motels on our Queensland holiday). There was a pool and outdoor table and chairs which enhanced the exterior environment. Check in was friendly and efficient. Some undercover parking available.

• ozziebloke (10/5): Splendid harbour views and very clean - This motel recently changed its name to what probably will impress you on first instance the most, the harbour views. The motel is located off the main road on the hill which gives you a complete view of the harbour. This was my third visit. The look is very 80's but contains all the conveniences that you would expect from a motel room. Room and bath room are big in size. Both were perfectly clean. Bed is very comfortable and a great night of sleep. Airco was there, but in summer it is better to keep the screened windows open and catch some sea wind. Staff is friendly and Yvonne does a great job. You feel welcome and nothing is too much effort. There is a great pool to cool you down. I had the bad luck of a cloudy and rainy day, so didn't feel like a swim. So if you are after a comfortable motel room, you get extremely good quality for the price. Would visit again.
