Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The manager of the motel, not only supported my mother and young person when they arrived after midnight, but with lost baggage from their flight, he supplied device chargers and dotted on them both for their visit. The Manager called several times before the holiday to make sure he understood the needs of my family - amazing service, great room. If your family has high needs then this is the place to holiday!

Our room was very clean and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The bathroom was great, with enough hot water for two showers and a detachable shower head which always makes life easier! My only complaint was the lack of toaster, plates and knives which meant basic breakfast was not possible in room. All staff very friendly and professional. We would definitely recommend Bay Air Motel.

Brisbane, Australia2 contributions1 helpful vote
A) you can hear the people above you peeing in the toilet B) 2 of 3 glasses were too dirty to use C) whole building runs length of car park so theres no avoiding the noise of cars coming and going at all hours D) the worst part - the showers in the units share a hot water system, so when you are in the shower the water firstly has no pressure but also changes drastically from burning hot to freezing cold!! I went to wash my face and almost got burnt!! Too dangerous for a child to use!!! Then when we said we'd be checking out to stay elsewhere, the male was rude, and they have refused a full refund of our 2nd night and insisting on charging cancellation fees, plus no compensation whatsoever for the night before.

Thank you for your review, your concerns have been addressed. Truth will always prevail. Grasping at straws to find excuses to leave will not reward you with refunds. Sorry you had such a bad experience. Kerry & Staff

This motel is well situated near the water of Moreton Bay and a very short walk to the Cleveland RSL which was a very modern venue and has really good dining areas. Parking is onsite and the staff were excellent. Our room was spacious and clean, the bathroom recently renovated, and the sleep comfortable. Breakfast was not offered but with the adjacent club and shops access to meals was not an issue. The pool area looked very attractive. The WIFI worked well. A very nice place to stay.

Our third year in a row staying at this lovely motel. Rooms are very clean, linen is crisp and fresh. RSL minutes walk for a great feed as well. Always welcomed by a wagging tail from Bay and a friendly warm welcome from Kerry. Highly recommend.

A warm, easy going welcome and straightforward check in. Kerry was kind to enough to accomodate me as I was looking for an overnight stay on the fly (sudden change of plans). Great advice on food options locally, specifically the neighbouring RSL discount option for motel guests. I recommend the Bay Air Motel to anyone needing to stay in Cleveland. Oh, and the welcome lick on the hand from reception doggo was a nice touch. The room was clean, and very comfortable. Thank you Bay Air Motel.

The Team were very welcoming, very considerate of the fact we had a newborn. No matter which staff you talked too they were all helpful. Room was neat and tidy. Bed was comfortable. Hot water was fantastic. Very happy with our stay and will stay again if the opportunity presents itself.
