Guest Reviews
- Scott (2/5): - This place is not fit to be on hotels.com For $163 a night it’s a disgrace, mould and broken soap holder, leaking shower head (that kept me awake all night), no shampoo, conditioner or body wash, toilet brush was full of wet toilet paper and so worn out, the bed was so uncomfortable, curtains need replacement and didn’t cover the windows so outdoor light was beaming in at night, the cutlery was from a 2nd hand shop and had broken handles, the 2 chairs were stained and had a broken window in the bathroom . The place was so run down and a disgrace. I had 2 x nights booked for work purposes and left after 1 x night. I have pics to prove all this.
- Kaylene (4/5): Dump - The complex itself is a dump. Ground floor room, only block out curtains. No privacy blinds so if you want natural light, everyone who walks right past your room can see right in. Lots of people smoking, drinking and talking outside our room for hours. Inside, NO toilet paper even though it had 2 roll dispensers. They were both empty. No milk provided for the coffee or tea. Half the powerpoints dont work. Fridge door inside broken so couldn't stand a soft drink bottle up. No top sheet on bed. Just a prickly wooden blanket. Pillow was like a rock. Old and run down. Cobwebs in the bathroom. Just a disgusting property. Find somewhere else to stay.
- Stephen (4/5): - No one in the office at check in time. No carpet on floor thus bed kept moving. Too noisy , very dated bathroom , very dusty odour when opened door for the first time ,just generally unpleasant stay,
- Ziggy (10/5): - Wae very good Thanks
- James Marco Paixao (10/5): - Convenience and lovely staff.
- Diane (8/5): - Easy access, clean but old and dated. Lots of dogs staying. Neighbours noisy slamming door.
- Andrew (4/5): - Very noisy obviously as its on the main road. Bathrooms need a serious overhaul.
- Luke (6/5): - Our beds rolled all around the room when we were in them the bathroom was mouldy and slippery no shower caps the tea, sugar and coffee packets was covered in cockroach poo and there was a chair in our room that my daughter sat on and she fell through it and ended up with a gash on her back from the screws that scratched her when we investigated the seat was snapped in half and not screwed in I left a note for housekeeping.
- Sandy (4/5): - Good bed and great little Thai takeaway next door in the other hotel. This hotel supplies breakfast (as long as you collect it yourself before 7pm or you don’t get milk or breakfast). It’s supposed to be pet friendly but it’s hard to get a pet friendly room when booking via an app.
- Barb (6/5): - The property is old, Requested a room on ground floor and GOT. AC, fridge,Bed was great,comfy and clean. Only disappointment was the towels weren't renewed daily.which I thought were. Lucky there was a spare.
- Lucietta (4/5): - Was very disappointing. Continental breakfast was only cereal and bread. Bathroom smelt horrible and shower had mould and soap scum. Fridge isn't what pictures show was a tiny bar fridge just as well I took an esky. Toaster and kettle packed away in cupboard and the tea coffee and biscuits not enough for 3 people no spare blankets for if you get cold (thankfully my daughter had her own) upon check-in guy very friendly and nice but room wasn't ready we had to wait in car for 25 minutes then walk on wet tiles. The room looked nothing like photos on wotif. If travelling and not needing Fridge with freezer space then its ok for sleeping overnight beds were comfortable but they slide on floor when you get up and down off the bed. Only 1 chair provided for 4 people. Overall 2 star rating for cleanliness and convenience. 4 star for guy who checked us in and out. He was polite friendly and apologetic. Continental breakfast isn't Continental it's literally just cereal and bread for travellers who are travelling far that's definitely a disappointment.
- Dell (2/5): - Dirty ,noisy ...needed a receipt for accommodation and was refused.
- Paul (8/5): - I liked the staff and nice and clean and then supplied breakfast. Thanks will say there again.
- Julie (2/5): - Not good when your room is not serviced daily. I had to ask for clean towels and toilet paper constantly. Very disappointing, as the noise from the road was so loud, very hard to sleep. The motel is old and needs renovations, which I understand but no one should have to ask for their bed to be made, clean towels daily or toilet paper. The tea/coffee/2pkts of individual biscuits were never replaced. And never had a glasses/mugs replaced. We had to wash everything in boiled water from kettle. This is just unacceptable.
- Barry (4/5): - It was very old and quite dodgy
- ralph (2/5): - Had toaster. Microwave. Kettle. Fridge. No free tv. Bins too small . Soap holder in shower broken. Fridge door opens wrong way .under fridge rotten. Bathroom door needs replacing. Shower taps hard to turn off and leaks. Room curtain broken. Toilet seat loose. Seams we were given this room due to going through wotif and not their system.
- Ma Corazon (10/5): - The room we stayed in was tidy and clean. It had a fridge, microwave and kettle which is very convenient especially if you’re doing road trips. They also offer some breakfast items at the reception before you need to go to room which again very convenient.
- Alison (4/5): Renovated Hotel - Room was renovated apart from bathroom. Very clean. For a dog friendly room which are usually the worst of the property, the room was lovely. Reception staff were welcoming and very helpful. It’s not the motel’s fault but people were chatting outside up until around 2am. They were permanent or semi permanent guests and didn’t give two hoots for anyone. The hotel should consider moving smoking areas a long way from guests as that is where they meet up. There was traffic noise but it wasn’t bad and expected. Reception staff were the highlight, oh and the great Thai restaurant next door.
- Sarah (4/5): No consideration for other people - Great check in. However we had a early get up, in between travelling, so needed a good nights sleep. It was me, my partner and my 5 year old. The people in the room next to us was super loud all night up until 12am. Constantly slamming door, in and out and dogs barking. Loud voices. No respect. Was super hard to sleep and very disappointing. We had to get up at 3am. The TV reception cord was snapped off so we couldn't use the TV either.
- Stephen (6/5): - Rooms need some TLC.
- Deborah (4/5): - Would not go back
- Sandy (10/5): - The manager is so friendly and helpful. Breakfast of cereal and toast is included in the price and I had a pet friendly room. The tariff cost an extra $20 for my dog. The bed was amazing. Soooo comfortable.
- Patricia (8/5): - Wonderful bath towels! Friendly & helpful staff.
- Anthony (10/5): - Nothing, great value
- Hailey (6/5): - The property has new owners, and they are slowly making improvements. It was a great little spot, and the customer service was A, but the outdated facilities and lack of a kitchenette or a collective cooking area were drawbacks. I look forward to seeing the improvements the new owners have made again.
- Brody (10/5): - Friendly staff
- Andrew (2/5): - 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.
- Peter (6/5): - Clean and tidy friendly staff
- Shirish (4/5): - The property is not maintained well. Beds are terrible. Service and location was goo though
- Michelle (4/5): - The service was alright but the beds were terrible got no sleep and husband woke up with bad back
- Samuel (2/5): - Horrifically appointed A and and a so
- Riley (4/5): - 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.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good stay and room nice and clean except for used cotton wipes in the bedside table drawer.
- Jo (4/5): - 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.
- Janelle (8/5): - 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.
- Jim (8/5): - All good. Good value.
- Kathryn (10/5): - Met all my needs,
- Claire (6/5): - 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.
- Brody (10/5): - Quiet
- Len (6/5): 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.
- Teele (10/5): - 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.
- Marie (4/5): 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.
- James (4/5): - 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.
- Tanya (10/5): - Toni was very hospitable. Don't let the outside appearance fool you, beat accommodation on our trip so far.
- Ronald (10/5): - being able have our dog with us. easy to get to
- Joan (8/5): - Was very convenient location. Very clean and of high standard for a pet friendly motel, Compared to other accommodation we have used. Would stay there again.
- Stephen (10/5): - Excellent value for money
- Kevin (6/5): - The motel overall was ok, facilities were at the minimum , Selfe serve being the order of the day, breakfast provided ! wait until the office opened (8.00am) help yourself to cereal etc. , guess it is to be expected in todays world. The traffic noise , the big problem yes on the highway, but the trucks all night ! Car parking, (park anywhere ?). Unit was clean, bed comfortable. if had to would stay again... so ....
- Shaun (8/5): - Nice
- Brett (4/5): - .
- MICHAEL (6/5): - Cheap and nasty
- Jan (6/5): - Property was clean and tidy but starting to look a little dated....needs a revamp.
- Janvier (10/5): - Safe
- Kerensa (4/5): - Served the purpose for a quick overnight stop, but the room is in desperate need of maintenance and repair. Cupboards, lamps, and doors were broken or damaged, and the chairs need a good clean. Shower gel provided in a dispenser, but no washers and no hand towel provided. Bed was comfortable and clean. Staff at reception was friendly and helpful. Easy checkin and checkout process. Convenient location.
- Amanda (8/5): - Very pet friendly!
- Jillian (6/5): - I didn’t like the smell of people smoking which permeated into our room with the door shut and the curtain in our room was filthy and hanging of the rail
- Stephen (2/5): - Nothing
- nicole (4/5): - Air conditioning didn't work properly bed too hard ed to hard TV only had Couple of channels
- Todd (8/5): - Affordable and simple accommodation, which was what we were looking for. Staff friendly and helpful. Recommend.
- Jenny (4/5): - Room was very clean. There were 2 people smoking and drinking outside our room from early am and they stayed there and were joined by other people in the evening. Very noisy and we felt unsafe due to the level of intoxication. We had to walk past these people to get to the stairs. Almost everybody at this motel smokes and it was too much for a non smoking family. Price was good and getting breakfast made things easy.
- Pauline (8/5): - Old & broken
- Don (10/5): - dog friendly
- Alison (4/5): - The room was very poor. The bathroom door was broken, the property was very run down.
- Maria (4/5): - Staff member who welcomef us 10min before closing time was very friendly and helpful. The room was disappointing as tv did not work properly on any channel. It kept freezing after a few minutes so we gave up on that. I decidedto read my book instead, just to find that both bedside lamps were missing bulbs. Alsono batteries in the a/c control and no spare blanket. Free breakfast was a bonus but the overall experience not good and would not stay again or recommend to friends
- Petta (6/5): - This was a last mintue booking as we needed dog friendly accommodation for our stay. Upon checkin staff were a little abrupt towards us. Room was a little run down.
- John (4/5): - Reception closed very early (prior to 6.00pm)., no towel rails in the bathroom. Insufficient parking, damaged and rotted hand rail on stairway
- Garrey (4/5): - room smelt like a smokers room yuck
- Meagan (6/5): - It is what it is. It’s not a place for a holiday- it’s simply a place to sleep (if you can, with the paper thin walls & smell). You get what you pay for though.
- Joy (2/5): - tv set up very hard to select the channels, the best of the stay was the bed the shower is to low you have to bend down to wash the soap from your body however the water pressure was excellent.
- Shelley (10/5): - The room was brand new and very clean Very big bed very comfortable room and quiet
- Jodi (4/5): - Very close to the road, road noise was loud also big windows at front did not have a lock didn’t feel very safe, window in bathroom also broken would not close. Bed not very comfortable kept rolling away from wall.
- Jacqui (10/5): - It was so easy to stay there. They had everything we needed and more. Thankyou
- Edmund (2/5): - Property very run down, photos used on the internet must be very old. Room was not clean, floors were not vacuumed, bathroom walls were dirty, cupboards had debris in them. The linen was clean though. The property seemed to be occupied by longer term residents or family, very unprofessional appearance. Receptionist had no shoes. Overall very disappointed with the stay. Not what was expected on arrival based on the website the room was booked through. Would not recommend.
- Ruth (8/5): - Staff were friendly. Rooms are not very sound proof, from traffic or other guests. Mattress was not very comfortable. Room had everything we needed.
- Mallery (8/5): - Staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay here again for a one night stop.
- Gary (6/5): - Our room presented well and there was plenty of tea, coffee and milk. Having breakfast included was a bonus. There was one TERRIBLE thing which has prompted my review. Underneath the bench where the PowerPoints were was BARE wiring. My husband said that if anyone touched them, they would be electrocuted!!! These wires were at child level. And attractive to inquisitive little hands for sure. VERY SCARY! He took a photo and went to show the guy in the office who was very complacent about the whole situation. There's a lawsuit right there, just waiting to happen!
- Elanya van (6/5): - Rooms were clean, staff really friendly. Our only problem was that the mattresses were so old they kept making us slide down the middle. That was for both hubby and I, and our children! Didn’t get to sleep a single wink as a result of it. Mattresses should be upgraded as these ones are way beyond use by date!
- Christina (10/5): - The pool, in Northern Queensland heat was very much appreciated.
- leigh (8/5): - Was all good except the ac was loud
- Catherine (8/5): - We found the Gateway to be very clean, showers were hot abd the beds comfy. The staff were super lovely. I recommend it for a night to stay.
- Kerry (10/5): - Clean, very comfortable beds.
- Trish (2/5): - Nothing to like.
- David (6/5): Rockhampton - Basic but good. Was good for a short stay. A little loud at night being on the main road and some other guests.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It was central to were we needed to be
- Graeme (8/5): - clean, comfortable, breaky supplied ( toast & cereal)
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The motel was a cheap stay and served its purpose
- Verified traveler (4/5): - I was staying for 1 night only and was put upstairs. I found out later after dark that I was put in between a heap of young people who were outside drinking heavily and making a lot of noise into the night. I had travelled a long way that day and the next day had to be up early to travel further so was not impressed.
- Robyn (8/5): - Accommodation worked for purpose intended - breaking a long toad trip. Room had a bit of an old odour but worked for a quick sleepover.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good location - Good cheap motel for overnight stay in Rocky. Location was close to where we needed to be. Room was small with 3 beds (which were not all comfortable) and we did see a couple of baby roaches and some ants but, you get what you pay for. Dining room was closed but there were alot of different food options close by.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Exceptional for the price of the room. Greeted by very friendly and welcoming staff at check-in, more than adequate free continental breakfast included. Comfortable and tidy room, yes it may be an older property but still a great place to stay and great value. Great idea having a BBQ for guests to use. Easy access onsite parking. Great location, close to Botanical Gardens and Zoo, close to shopping centre.
- Alan (4/5): - Poor property maintenance running taps and the toilet seat does not stay up to urinate also our parking bay we went out for dinner came back and someone else had taken our parking spot was not happy
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This was a great stop over, gentleman that served us (I believe the owner) was amazing very generous with gluten free breakfast included, had everything we needed, we felt very supported. Some amenities were average but in covid tough times we understood. Will be staying here again in the future.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Pet friendly. Greeted like a long lost friend and made to feel so welcome. Office man was so friendly and accommodating. Organised our breakfast for us then and there for the morning. Will certainly stay there again. Thank you so much for making me feel so welcome.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice hot water To have a shower friendly staff good
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The motel is definitely in need of some TLC, we had broken fixtures in our room and the shower grout needs some desperate attention. The beds weren’t terribly comfortable either. Considering all the fuss elsewhere about COVID, I didn’t have to fill out anything extra like I’d done at other motels, nothing was mentioned, I feel like they weren’t following any plans.
- Frances (8/5): Nice. - Clean, tidy and comfortable.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Friendly and affordable - Comfortable overnight stay in a clean, spacious room. The new queensize bed provided a good nights sleep. Basic bathroom amenities worked well. Needed the wall airconditioner on and kept the window closed to block some cigarette smoke from nearby smokers outside their rooms. Owners are considering split system units which will be quieter and more efficient. Generous addition of cereal, milk, bread for the toaster, butter and spreads to make your own breakfast. There was also a microwave plus complimentary tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits provided in the room. There is a small pool at the front of the motel.
- Michael (10/5): ice comfortable motel, good value - Clean and comfortable, everything worked, pet friendly, nice helpful management
- Alison (6/5): - The manager, couldn't have been nicer but unfortunately there was a crazy woman screaming and carrying on during the night that went on far too long.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - There were pubic hairs in the shower, the bed was so old and worn out that you could feel the springs and it felt like I was going to fall off the bed, the carpet is dirty and stained. I wouldn’t stay there again.
