Continental breakfast provided, normal type but very much appreciated when leaving and driving early.Room roomy and comfortable. Shower over quite a deep bath which is difficult to get in and out of safely for older people. Upstairs room which is not easy for a person with medical disability.

The price per night was good however the pillow in our room had what we think is blood spots on it. Also the smoke detector had been removed. The stairwell was dirty and the vinyl on the stair treads was coming off. The dining room was ill equipped with coffee machine not working due to lack of coffee supply. Room was not clean.

The room we were in appeared to be updated somewhat compared to the rest of the place but that was it. There were cracked cups and stale tea, a lukewarm shower at best. There was an open bag of cement in our room (dangerous for kids) look like it has been swept around. There were holes In the doors and walls also. The bed was clean enough so we decided to stay. Next door in our friend's room, they had no toilet paper.

The room you stayed has a brand new split system airconditioner, only installed a few months ago. why did you not come and speak with us about the airconditioner. We are available 24/7. You had the airconditioner mode on “heat” - the air conditioner works perfect in summer for cooling and heats up the room for winter perfectly. We have thoroughly checked this room aircon and it works great. You booked a basic standard room that includes all essentials required including microwave oven. The room has been renovated with all new floor coverings, benchtops etc. it seems you had a bad week as your review does not apply to the room you stayed. You paid a very low rate for an exceptionally modern room.

Thank you for your review, but why didnt you advise us of your issue. Pick up the phone and have a chat. We are available at all times. A carpet layer recently replaced the carpet in this room and we have now fixed this issue. We are on plan for mattress replacements. We never have issues with aircons but we also like to ask a guest to consider the many positive attributes for your stay - u booked a budget room at a budget rate yet should have enjoyed our complimentary breakfast, modern vinyl planks and new carpets, new marble look benchtops, plus much more. Our motel has been on regular upgrade plans and in the few years we have achieved some great results. For any issues we recommend you have a nice chat to our friendly staff who love to assist with any problems. Overall, our guests give great feedback - negative feedback comes only from a minimal less than 1% of our guests. Thank you and have a nice day.

There were no bedside tables and there was no where to put our suitcases except on the floor. The room was only serviced on our 4th day. The room was very small. The washing machines were not working and I had to wait until someone came back to the motel to turn the switch on upstairs. The motel is an 24 hour book in and it is done by a computer so no one is on duty after dark.

It is very disappointing when a guest chooses to write a negative review when we went out of our way to assist our guest. This guest had contacted us via intercom at 9.30pm after 2nd night requesting assistance with the washing machines. We assisted him within 30 minutes with a simple fix and he was very friendly and thankful for 2 staff in attendance. He thanked us very much for helping him, we refunded extra coins he had inserted. This was a one off issue that weve never had happened before. Nothing was mentioned of any other discrepancies at all during their 4 day stay. We have 2 bedside tables that arrived while the guest was in the room, they will be installed this coming week. Our motel has the convenience of a 24hr checkin which is very popular. But his comments about the motel with noone on duty after dark is totally incorrect. There is in fact always staff available both onsite residence or offsite. We have a 24 hr assistance which is not available in most motels. You would also think if the guest had issues with no rack for their luggage, why would they not advise staff well before their 4th night, as staff have been on duty and would have happily assisted with a rack and also placed bedside tables in their room on the first day if this was an issue. They had 4 days to speak with us. Why wait to go online reviews. Sorry but this is not a fair review of our service. The room was serviced during their stay so we are unsure of their real issue. We are sure you enjoyed the complimentary breakfast during your stay. You booked a standard room at a very reasonable rate and you were upgraded to a beautiful and comfy king bed in which the room was recently upgraded. Our advice is to look to the good in a business because when u really think about it, we were there for you at all times - Your negative review is very disappointing.

Generally clean, good bed and shower. Timing worked well. Didn't test the heater or AC so cannot comment. Room 2 was quiet, which was good. Would have been good to have some green or peppermint tea in the room - something other than normal black tea. The breakfast provision was handy, though very basic. Overall, a good stay.

We advise before booking a room to overview your bookings very carefully, as u booked a standard family room with a queen and 2 singles in one room with one shower and toilet. we did upgrade u to a 2 room apartment as a kind guesture. If u wanted two bathrooms and 2 toilets for 4 people, u should have booked 2 separate rooms and you would have been happy. It is not a motels fault when a guest books a room that is too crowded for their expectations. it is a guests responsibility to ensure they have booked correctly. The motel is a very nice 3.5 star motel regularly updated with free complimentary breakfast. We do not advertise as a new motel but it is a very nice Motel. The rooms are very quiet.

Hotel manager was pleasant and very welcoming. For an older building my top floor apartment was lovely and clean. I had to go out and buy new batteries for the universal aircon remote and program it. Although it was not hot, having the doors open will welcome the Gold Coast Highway Noise right in. For first time stayers or if you are sound sensitive - I warn that this hotel is at a very busy intersection. Further, it has a low clearance undercover park of 1.9m, with only 2 car park spaces available outside, and no street parking . No problem for small cars and sedans, but 4wd's and vans will find themselves parking on the esplinade and making a short walk to the unit.

Thank you for your review, but you are obviosly reviewing the wrong motel in another town , - we r in toowoomba, our rooms are very quiet - all of our undercover carparks are 2.2 metres or higher - we have outdoor motel ground parking for quite a few trucks, buses and trailors - we have some of the best parking in toowoomba- you did not stay in an upstairs unit at our motel, but a quiet ground floor unit with parking in front of your room- we r not on the corner of a very busy intersection - our motel rooms are set off the road. Please check your reviews and review the correct motel accordingly.

When we arrived the man at reception was friendly but didn't engage well into a conversation. Our room was comfortable. Best bed we have had in accommodation for a long time however there was what looked like mens chest hair all over the beds and in the bathroom sink and the shower floor was dirty with soap scum and lint/dust. The free breakfast was nice. If the cleanliness was better it would have rated higher for us.
