Surprisingly Clean, Nice Towels and Bedding

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 3 Jan 2017
Rough looking typical looking Motel on the outside, but friendly staff and nice beds, towels and lovely white linen (5-star-like).

Pool is small and not that appealing and mostly shaded on the wrong side of the Motel. Our kids didn't go in.

If you've got a car though this is good value for the price.

Dear NevillePettersson,

Thank your review of our motel on TripAdvisor. We are happy to hear that you had a comfortable stay in our recently renovated rooms. Our pool is located in the front of the motel so that our rooms can be situated as far away as possible from the main road to help minimise any noise discomfort. We recommend swimming in the pool in the mornings for extra sunshine & in the afternoons if you prefer the shade.

With plenty of on-site parking there is no need to drive anywhere whilst you are here at the Chermside Motor Inn as everything you need is within walking distance (including Westfield Chermside Shopping Centre only 500m north of the motel).

Safe travels & we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Warm regards

Ron & Debbie Carter

Located close to Chermside shopping centre this is a ideal place to stay. Efficient air conditioning, swimming pool and helpful, friendly staff were all appreciated. In room breakfast service was an added bonus. The room was larger than some and very clean with beautiful bath towels.

Wanting accommodation close to RBWH, but wanting to park the car for the duration of our stay and take advantage of Brisbane's bus service, this motel offered the perfect location. It's only 20 mins from RBWH, or 5 mins to Chermside Shopping Centre (if needed), yet far enough from the city to escape the major traffic congestion, especially for the trip home.
Clean, modern facilities, friendly, helpful staff, centrally located with food outlets, shopping, bus stop at the door - perfect! The bonus was a comfy recliner in the unit which my husband quickly put to good use.
We had a ground floor unit near the pool. No road or other noise problems at all for us, although we live in a very quiet, out of town location.
This is our first stay at CMI and it'll be our go-to motel for our future routine trips to Brisbane.

Room tip: Our room on ground floor was behind roadside hedge which may have helped with any possible road noise.

This Motel has great easy travel access with friendly atmosphere. It is situated close to many facilities, shops etc. We had a family room which is very economical and was clean and tidy with plenty of comfort.

Hi Sue W,

Fantastic feedback ………. ! Thank you for sharing with us and the Trip Advisor community.

We are very lucky to have so many takeaways and restaurants close by to us. We also have bus services directly out the front of the Motel. Westfield Chermside is also a short stroll from us and is expanding with up to 95 new retailers, due to open in 2017!

We look forward to your return to Chermside Motor Inn again real soon!

We could not fault the owners and staff for being exceptionally friendly and helpful plus the motel itself was clean and well presented however the room left little to be desired. Tired and outdated plus the noise from the main road traffic at all hours left us feeling tired beyond measure ... not good if you are travelling for medical reasons as we were. The key situation could be improved, toiletries could have been provided instead of those dreadful dispensers in the bathroom, the Foxtel picture was grainy and unwatchable plus the sound fluctuated from barely audible to extremely loud. The motel close to the hospital was excellent and there was plenty of fast food restaurants nearby. What can you say except overall very good but could definitely be so much better.

Room tip: Avoid Rooms 13 and 14 as close to the smoking area which smells and is noisy

From the moment I phoned, enquired and booked - I had complete professional but also down to earth service. Everything was fantastic - room, location, amenities and swimming pool (just the right temperature for myself). Only Chermside Motor Inn for me from now on - 11 out of 10 !!
