Detailed Reviews
We called late in the afternoon to make a booking for the same night, the staff member who helped me was very polite and professional. She was even kind enough to provide us with a few recommendations for dinner. The location of the inn is great, good proximity to town, could walk to dinner spots and didn’t hear any noise or traffic on a Saturday night.
Our room was lovely and clean. The shower had great water pressure and the bathroom was clean and tidy. The bed was so comfortable when I woke up the next morning I wanted to stay there for hours, which I think says something considering what some hotel beds can be like. This one was excellent. If I find myself in emerald again I would absolutely stay at the motor inn.

We overnighted at the Midlander in late July. The welcome at reception was very friendly and informative about the local restaurants and shops. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The motel is well located within easy walking distance of the town. Would definitely overnoght here again.

We stayed on an overnight transit in a Queen room and were impressed by the room facilities, standard and cleanliness. Spacious room, modern bathroom and in-room facilities including fridge and microwave and a large comfortable bed. Reception was very friendly and helpful - also offered a range of drinks for sale. Room was pleasantly and tastefully decorated. Location is handy being on the main northern highway close to town, walking distance from food and shopping outlets. Good value for money - would gladly stay here again.

We stayed in a 2 bed apartment.
Beds comfortable. Pillows comfy.
Clean rooms.
Undercover parking near your room.
Nice shower with good water pressure.
Strange room layout.
There is no lounge chair to sit and enjoy the TV. Layout of bed and dining table could be changed around to accommodate this.
The bedroom had 2 single beds and main bed was in the lounge. This needs swapping so adults can have their privacy.
The toilet door opens out into the hall and we had multiple incidents of opening the door into people's faces. Needs to be sliding in a wall cavity like the bedroom is when they next renovate. But there's not much that can be done for that.
When arriving at night or coming in after dinner there is no light outside the room. So it was very hard to get the key in the lock. There had been an attempt at mounting a sensor light but it wasn't working. We kept forgetting to ask management.
We had dinner at about 6pm on the outside table and the sprinklers came on. Not sure of exact time. but Woops 🙄
We also were collecting our bottles from our adventure that we were keeping for our local charity containers for change. We had them in a separate bag no where near the bin. They were in a paper bag with our gear. We came back in the afternoon and they had made up the room and taken our containers. They had to move one of our bags to get to them. We eventually found them later but they should never have been touched.
It's an interesting place. Nothing really bad about. Its clean and ok.

We have addressed the issues you experienced - the light being out outside the room and sprinkler timing. In the future, please let us know during your stay so we can rectify these issues immediately. With regards to the room layout, the current furniture provided is the most efficient use of the available space. This is the first time these issues have been raised with us from the numerous guests that have enjoyed staying in these apartments. Our housekeeping staff do not touch any personal belongings of guests - if there was an issue, we would have appreciated you coming to discuss this with us during your stay. We're glad you enjoyed the cleanliness of the room and comfort of the beds.

Beware those really cheap rooms you can get on Expedia, there's usually a reason for it. This was one of those, super cheap rate, but issues with the room. Ours was in the group of #1 to #5 or #6,these back onto the highway, lots of trucks well into the wee hours. Terrible sleep quality. Room wasn't that clean either, and the room didn't resemble any of the ones in the photos. Deceptive. Bathroom had pedestal sink with no countertop, nowhere to put toiletries and difficult to do contact lenses. Frankly I would rather pay more to get more. Would not recommend.

It sounds like you booked the Queen Room - Accessible, which is our smallest room with a disability-style bathroom. We have nine different room types of which you chose the cheapest - we have alternative room types further from the road. Our motel is built near the highway as are most of the motels in Emerald - two highways run through the middle of town. The photos shown of this room type on our listings are accurate. In the future, we recommend you book direct with the property so that you receive the accommodation that you require.

Arriving into Emerald early afternoon, we found the Midlander Motor Inn to be conveniently located on the edge of the CDB and centrally located within easy walking distance to most shops we needed. Booking in was easily done, with our room easily access from the undercover carpark. Our room was an excellent size with rear access to a terrace with outdoor seating. A good size fridge was handy along with a microwave. Comfortable friendly stay and would be our first choice if we get the opportunity to return to the area.

The Midlander staff were very welcoming and the rooms were quiet, spacious, modern and clean. All you need for an overnight stay. There are a number of shops close by and IGA is a short walk. Just a minor complaint with the fridge not working very well but that would not stop us from staying here again. The price for 3 adults was also very reasonable, Highly recommended.
