The room decor and fittings were all old and in need of repair. Bad smell in room, old and noisy air conditioner and peeling paint and mould in bathroon. This motel was very over priced considering its condition. We certainly expect better conditions than this. Also WIFI at $7.50 per hour!!!!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night when making a trip from Gold Coast to meet relatives in Maryborough. Actually we only slept her, so there isn't too much to review. Bed was huge (King size), receptionist nice, nothing special, but could stay another time also.

The rooms are basic and clean, the grounds are neat and tidy and a nice area provided to sit outside with friends (we had 3 rooms booked) Fresh milk is provided for tea or... More

Hi dunera Thanks for your review and we appreciate the time you took to write it. Yes I agree the rooms are a bit on the small side but unfortunately thats the way they built them 40+ years ago. Enjoy life and if you are ever in the area again - please drop in. Cheers Kim & Mark More

We are so sorry you had a bad experience here. There was one form of marketing that used the word "luxurious", but hasn't been used in quite a while. We now market ourselves as clean & comfortable. It is totally unacceptable to us to have any rooms not in a clean state and sometimes we don't know until the guest... More
