Guest Reviews
- Terry (5/5): Great location right in town, a little too much light sneaking into the room at night, nice staff. - No breakfast was available, but as it is located right in town it was not a problem to find food. The staff were very accommodating and did whatever they could to assist us. The rooms are quite basic and showing their age, however as the motel has recently changed hands the new owners may address many of the small maintenance issues. Lots of light sneaking into the room at night.
- Wayne (7/5): -
- Audrey (6/5): Great motel for travellers, easy check in, good parking, great location, and good price. - The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, right near the town and easy to find driving in. Parking was easy. The price is great value if you are travelling through. The wifi wouldn't work for us, we couldn't find the network or the password. The toilet hadn't been cleaned in our room, but otherwise it was clean. The air conditioning was cool but we all got sore throats. The beds weren't extremely comfortable but my motel standards not too bad.
- Yoko (7/5): Cleanness is most important for me so it was clean and I am happy. - Old but clean and the reception lady was wonderful The bathroom sink tap was off from the position so had to hold to use it.
The price was expensive.
- Chantal (1/5): $220 per night and it was filthy. Not good value for money. - It was close to an event I had on that was convenient but i won’t stay again next year. I’ll stay out of town and drive. It was very dirty. Don’t drop anything under the bed you’ll lose it in all the dust and hair.
- brian (5/5): Soft bed and that’s it. - Good bed Tv remote didn’t work, some power point were faulty no smoke alarms, very tired and expensive for the quality.
- Florence (5/5): -
- Ian (2/5): Won’t return - Location No hand towels
Bathroom door broken
No shower curtain
No bedside tables
No complimentary water
Overflowing bins outside my door
4 star rating?? No chance.

- Julie (5/5): Not the Hilton -We made it comfortable for our stay. - The shower was great ,good water pressure and hot .The staff were friendly and kind . The photos don't show all the rooms .It needs updating more items of furniture in the rooms to make more comfortable for a longer stay .No chairs, no hanging space except hooks on the wall above 1 shelf for suitcase-Purchased a over the door hooks to hang our dresses ..Bed side lights did not work .Holes in the curtains ,they need replacing. Room lights to dull for reading -Room 2 When arrived no shower curtain in room 3 ,We were given room 2 .No bedside table for single bed .No Iron,laundry or hair dryer as on the Web page .No door mat -had to purchase one due to the rain so not to slip on the tiles. Pillows were uncomfortable and the beds. Celling fan old and makes a lot of noise when on .No space in the barthroom to put toiletries, used the window sill Needs a shower caddy to put own products on .No shower mat -was given one when I asked for one .Location great .Staff excellent and very friendly, The New manger is amazing and looked after us very well .

- Molly (4/5): We booked through booking.com and paid $265 a night and felt we didn't get value for the money. - No breakfast or facilities for same, e.g. bowls cutlery, no hair dryer, no hot water one night, ant's nest in bathroom, electric jug not functioning properly, lighting not working, no ironing board or iron,. It said on the website there was hairdryer, and iron and there wasn't one. The tap in the bath room was broken, the power point to the jug was dodgy.

- LA Jessup (8/5): Close to supermarket and takeaway outlets. Lovely proprietress. -
- Zhanna (8/5): Удобно. Хорошее место для путешественника на машине. - Есть все необходимое. Мотель полностью соответствует описанию в booking.com. Бесплатная парковка прямо у дверей в номер. Было тихо, потому что хозяйка отеля заботливо разместила гостей через номер - оставив между номерами с гостями пустые номера. Такого не было
- Dawson (7/5): -
- Gordon (7/5): -
- Gaelyn (8/5): Very good - Best staff in Australia!!
- Julie (9/5): Superb -
- Morna (8/5): Very convenient and certainly very suitable. - Great location and they arranged for a key for after hours. It is a bit tired but still very clean and a comfortable bed. Which is really all I needed on a rushed trip to Cairns.
- Garry (8/5): Easy and convenient motel for a short stay - It matched our expectations as a centrally located motel room -
- Waylon (8/5): Very good -
- Laurelea (4/5): Disappointing -
- Steven (1/5): false advertisement to say the least - When I left . When I rocked up qto get my key.. I had already previously spoke with them. I get there contacted them the lady was rude told they didn't do late check ins then proceeded to tell me where the key was
Once inside the room I was beside myself it was not even close to what is on the booking.com the bed looks like they had grabbed it from the garbage all other funiture was very tatted and worn extremely out dated my self and my partner and I had both received bed bug bites from the premises and also the was a lot of small roaches Also the noise and partying swearing etc all night long fro.other guest was disgusting
- Pauline (8/5): Very good - location no tissues supplied
- Rachel (8/5): - It was simple & convenient & close for our overstay needs , the owners were helpful and it was quiet and felt safe. Still would be good to have better locks on the door . I suggest a dead lock or chain lock as only had the door knob style handles.
- Eiko (8/5): Very good - Next of shopping joint and centre of town. It was convenient... also pretty quiet place. Maybe because of staff shortage, we've never seen anyone staff around or in the office, during we're staying. We've called the number to contact someone when necessary.
- Alf (7/5): Good -
- Russell (8/5): Very good - Small town accomadation.
- Greg (1/5): Never again - Nil Advertised $115:00 had to pay 127:00
- kathleen (10/5): - Very close to shops & friendly staff
- Andrew (7/5): Good -
- Bong (10/5): Lovely and comfortable like the customer service - Good customer service I can't write anything
- Bong (10/5): It was comfortable - Customer service was great I can't say everything was great
- LUKE (2/5): Well below expectations - No reception - delays checking in because no one present. Manager expressed she was there to help but was openly hostile when approached for shampoo & conditioner. Never responded to an enquiry about whether there was an iron available (we were in town for a funeral) probably the most run-down place I’ve ever stayed. Expedia should be ashamed they list their properties
- Todd (6/5): Pleasant -
- Toni (6/5): Very basic, clean and comfortable but overpriced. - Central location but signage is poor so was not so easy to find. Manager was pleasant and helpful when she arrived. Very old and tired looking. Driveway full of potholes. No shade or cover over carpark. Reception unmanned on arrival and contact phone on the wall did not work - had to google for phone number to call motel manager to get access to our room.
- Gary (7/5): Good - The assistance from Mary Lou
- Nancy (8/5): Very good - Comfortable and good location.
- Linda (5/5): Passable - The water in the shower was nice and warm. Car park was too small and someone tried to break into the car. Not very well lit and one had to do a 20point turn to get the car out.
- Brett (7/5): Good -
- Robert (5/5): Passable -
