    New-fashioned queen room, exceptionally comfortable beds. Good bathroom, and a microwave oven, air conditioner, and TV. Marvellous and unbeatable location in the domestic area, so close to Bowen and the highway, center of city and restaurants.

    I had a wonderful one-night stay here! the room was brand new and beautifully maintained, featuring a great shower and the most comfortable motel beds, along with a cozy chair. the rate was $192, and the location was perfect and convenient, close to everything.

    This hotel's location is perfect for travelers who want to stay close to crossroads and the town center. It's easy to get back on the highway from here. the rooms are equipped with the necessary amenities and offer a comfortable stay. the staff is friendly and provides excellent service. the breakfast is simple, but with the toaster in the room, you can have a great start to the day.

    Some aspects of this hotel might need some improvements, such as the cleanliness in the bathroom.

    During my business trip, I appreciated the convenience of having a microwave in my room, as well as the comfortable bed for a good night's rest. The location of the hotel was also ideal for my needs, as it was close to the main highway and provided easy access to nearby businesses.

    I noticed the presence of bed bugs in my room, which was concerning and made my stay less than ideal.

    Spent a lovely Christmas at this motel and had a great time. the tidiness of the room and the modern facilities really impressed me. the location is fantastic - very accessible to nearby medical facilities and restaurants, which was a huge help for me. the spacious car park right outside our room was also a bonus.

    The absence of a hair dryer in the room. This wasn't a deal breaker for me, but it would have been a nice addition.

    I had a great time staying at this hotel in North Queensland. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, providing helpful information about local dining options and activities for families. The room was clean and tidy, with beds that were made to perfection. Plus, the hotel's location on the main road made it convenient for our travels. I would definitely recommend this hotel for its value for money, attention to detail, and proximity to the beach.

    No issues, everything was fine.

The staff provides excellent service and is happy to accommodate guests for one night stays. The breakfast is delicious and offers a variety of options.

    Convenient location close to town centre on the East Coast, clean room away from street for a peaceful sleep, friendly staff with excellent customer service, and easy parking on hotel facilities.

    Not obvious to find at first.
