    The tavern across the road was pumping music until quite late and there were some rowdy/questionable guests. Beds are very firm and springy and no extra pillows or blankets.

    Room was a good size and had a balcony

    There was music shaking the building past midnight from one of the end rooms, the pillows were terribly misshapen and uncomfortable, there was no doona/duvet only a sheet on the bed, and the bathroom window sill is lower than head height, standing looking in the face of people walking past whilst having a shower was uncomfortable, and there are no allocated car parks, so our slightly upmarket car was parked across the drive from us, Infront of a room where children were running in and out, throwing toys and riding scooters etc.

    Clean, hot shower, well maintained, and friendly staff, the price was ok,

    No negatives on the hotel itself. Just location, there seemed to be a few bored hoons in the area with loud cars trying to impress others. The pub across the main road did play loud live music, we didnt mind it so much but some might be sensitive to noise and theres not much you can do about it.

    Absolute value for money, very clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Excellent rates, great for travellers wanting to get rest and freshen up. A lot of eating places in the surrounding areas. I would be happy to stay again and recommend to others.

    The 1 staff member I interacted with hardly spoke when I arrived, I smiled spoke polite and said I have a reservation and gave name, he did not speak got a room key and handed it to me, he actually turned away to walk into a back room in reception when I said ‘wondering if it’s on ground level or upper’ he half turned back and muttered ‘lower’ I then said thank where should I part, he said anywhere and then walked into a back room. I then proceeded to go find where the room was so I could park where our room was. Customer service ZERO. The tea coffee sugar had empty wrappers with only 1 sugar sachet not used and x2 tea bags but tea bags had been pull opened and touched. Not even half a roll of toilet paper in our room with x3 child with me and a 2night stay. Enough utensils for us but we didn’t need 8 table spoons x3 forks x2 tea spoons and only 1 butter knife. Again we had 4 people in this room. X9 flat dinner plates and only 2 bowls. Also flyscreen to glass door to little patio was broken and the grass out there was almost to knee height, the chair and table very dirty and 2inches thick in old hard dust.

    The location was perfect for the reasons for being there

    We arrived at the location late, after organising late check in to find the staff had not put our key in the after hours safe. I try calling the property twice to then get a response of, Sorry, I can't talk right now. I message them and they do bring my key to the front door. We open the door to our room to be hit with the worst smell, the mattresses were absolutely filthy, pillows extremely old and thin. No blankets provided only sheets on the beds. The carpet felt very dirty and nothing had been dusted for quite some time. Very disappointed in the condition of the room.

    I don't trust booking.com anymore. The room you book is never the room you get and the photos of the facilities are deceiving. I booked a garden view room. We were given a roadside one instead, which was so loud because Gladstone is such a bogan place with all these road racing idiots. The room has stains everywhere from bed to carpet to drapes. Our vehicle had to be parked on the road because the parking lot has a roof that is far too low. The restaurant was never open. The reception is only open for about 4 hours a day which is really weird.

    None of it

    Placed in single room at the back of the motel, but ordered online deluxe twin room. No second safety lock on door. Mould on shower floor. Fly screen on bathroom window was bent, so a visible gap between screen and glass, someone can easily peak in fron outside, sliding screen door to balcony was hard to lock. No main light for room. Microwave cord couldn't reach PowerPoint. Double bed mattress was hard, so had sore back and shoulders. Stairs instead of elevator

    If you are travelling though and looking for options to stay this is not the place, unless it's a last resort. Booked online as night falls roads were unsafe to travel but wishes were pushed to Rockhampton instead of stopping. Said reception was open from -2-9.30. arrived at 8pm reception was shut. Rang the number no answer, get a text msg stating they were busy to answer the phones. Told them I had a reservation. Confirmed details told me keep was in lock box safe gave me code and room number. Pulled up to our room old man sitting outside on his wheelchair door open, we could see into his room hoarder and junk all over the floor. Then a young girl came out on the other side of our room who was polite then went back in. Noticed no car another residential person living there as we tried to settle in the room we could here here lighter flicking from their room and smell drugs they were smoking. Make me feel really uncomfortable especially having two young children with us. Tv wouldn't work. Msg the person in-charge tv wasn't working and asked me to check it it was turned on at the switch. Like really... Took forever to respond back his options were to come down fix tv or go to a new room. We opted for a new room. He said keep will be in the lock box. Getting everything back out into the car their big massive cockroaches crawling around our bags, guessing they coming from the hoarder room next door. When to get the new key not in lock box text and rang person in charge no answer. After 1 hour later in text he said he will hand me the key. The person in charge came outside and reached as far as he could to hand me the key as he was scared and didn't say a word. Time now is 10pm the new room upstairs was good cleanish, not fresh, no cockroaches in this one. We just all passed out and got out of their quick smart early morning.

    The one thing I felt was lacking in my room was a kettle. I searched for it but couldn’t find it. I see the microwave provided to heat up the water for a tea, which was still fine.

    The property was quiet. After a long drive, it was nice to be able to relax in a fairly quiet property. The bed was comfortable and the room was very large.
