Friendly staff checking in and out. Rooms are large & clean. Great for a short stay. Car park is a bit tight however & you have to walk a bit to the smokers area.

Can highly recommend - The room/bathroom was immaculately clean, bed very comfy, adequate cutlery, microwave, mini fridge stocked with bottled water and small milk cartons. Coffee sachets were Moccona! The lovely Reception guy was very accomodating to my needs - I had a stuffed knee so couldn’t use steps, so he happily changed my room to ground floor. Can’t comment on the pool as I didn’t use it. Will def stay again next time :)

Perfect for a short stay in Maryborough. We really enjoyed our stay and had a great sleep both nights due to the bedroom being so dark.

Clearly an older motel, but room clean and spacious with comfy beds. However, the upper area (with the majority of beds) was extremely hot. Aircon upstairs old and didn’t seem to work properly, and either the roof was poorly insulated or it was just too big an area for the size of the other aircon to do the job. Too hot to sleep :( Also noting no lock on bathroom, and no plug for basin to be able to wash dishes used (sorry!).

It had everything we needed: some dishes, a microwave, fridge, cleaning products including personal, ironing board and iron, television, internet, pool, parking, wardrobe, seating, comfortable bed, tastefully presented. As wholefood vegans, we carry our food with us but for those relying on being able to buy meals, the restaurant here is not open on weekends though there are nearby hotels.
