Convenient

Room all good, manager personable, there was no tidy bin there were no biscuits there was no cutlery had to go ask for spoon to stir coffee and given plastic after a big search. Not sure if all those issues were oversight or thats how it is. For the high Xmas price thought was a but rough.

Late Check in.

Pros: The wifi was fast!
Location: Close to the shops and the highway.
I was travelling down from Brisbane after work and did not arrive until Midnight. The staff where warm and friendly very helpful with my late night check in. The rates were very competitive and the room was quiet.

Over priced. Old. No service with a smile here!

Motel was clean enough but way to overpriced. Sadly it was the only accommodation available and we had no choice. Rooms were clean. Staff have no phone etiquette and never call you back.

Decent stay for one night, needs improvement

Location: Less than 10 minutes drive from Big Banana Fun Park and many other shops and restaurants.
Aircon was nice and cold but noisy. Bathroom was nice and clean, separate room with enclosed shower. Had a microwave and fridge/freezer. Toaster was too grubby with old pieces of bread in it to want to use it. Spent 10 minutes trying to close the window and it was impossible due to its design or screws added to the wall plate, so it was left open all night. The smoke alarm was hanging out of the ceiling. One of the reading lamps was broken. Beds were comfy and clean. Had plenty of towels and soap provided. Multiple WiFi names and passwords given on a piece of paper did not work. Manager was quick to answer the front desk. Good location with shops in driving distance and many other motels around.

The most filthy motel we have ever stayed

Pros: At the minimum, we had comfortable bed with clean sheet. TV, AC, hair dryer, fridge/freezer, toaster, microwave was in working.
Cons: Cleanliness of the entire place and parking spaces.
Location: Good location, close to CBD, since we have a car, we can drive to all major attractions nearby with ease.
It was the peak seasons and we didn't have any other choices at the price range we were after, we stayed there for 6 nights, the shower is extremely mouldy and we bought 'Exit Mould' cleaner and spray around the entire shower cubicle, you can tell it hasn't be clean for a long time because you can see black mould gone behind the tiles. Bathroom's windows has mould spots on the glass everywhere and frame all around, plus little mouldy spots on the ceiling. Towel rail was broken. No towel replacement, room cleaning/vacuum or bed making for our entire 6 nights stays, no rubbish removal from our room and the common bins were so full and over flowing. Common area was also pretty dirty, I saw some KFC wipes on the floor and it was still there on the day we left. Live cockroach found in our room one morning but this could be just off chance. WiFi wasn't working just I work around it with my phone Hotspot. Just the overall state is unclean. IF we haven't paid upfront via wotif, we would change motel for sure. PS: Yes, we are city people but we have been to some even more 'remote' locations motel before with town less then 2500 people, we have experiences from caravan to 5 stars hotel. This review sound harsh but we think it is justified.
