Pros +
- Very clean & tidy. Close to food. Quiet. Staff lovely.
- Location good. Bed comfy. Clean and shower good
- It was clean! For the first time in ages I didn’t wake up in an accommodation with puffy eyes. Loved swimming in the pool with my children. Also felt the need to warn them that I have a high functioning young son who is prone to meltdowns, and yes he had a few. We were put in a room that was a bit seperate from other guests so we didn’t disturb them and I felt like I had a bit more privacy. When we left, I was still treated like a valued guest. For that, I am eternally grateful.
Cons -
- Occasionally the tap in the sink wouldn’t turn off. A bit of a smack and it turned off again. Bathroom door also wasn’t in the runner at the bottom which made it a challenge to shut properly with 2 stuffed shoulders.
- First couple of days I had rental car so was easy to drive to shops,if you are wanting to be close to the hospital you won't get anything closer than here.
- Fan and air con were noisy, fan seemed to change speed during the night. Ultimately not an issue

Bed comfy, shower was great. Didn’t use the spa but was happy to see it was available

Nothing, we've been in Australia for 6 weeks and it's the worst place we've stayed
Incredibly small nowhere to wash our cups only the bathroom sink. We vacated early
Poor
not working AirCon no cooler too hot we were not happy got sick and sweaty through night not much sleep very hot in the room 2 then move 11 still too hot no cooler enough
very clean, comfy beds, good facilities
Location for where I was visiting was excellent. The room was clean and the staff were very obliging.
Nothing to report.
The stay was fine overall, nothing major to fault.The motel was convenient for where we needed to be, especially while visiting family in the area.Check-in and stay were straightforward with no issues.
Overall, it was a fine, no-frills stay - comfortable enough for a night or two and convenient for our needs, just a little dated for the price.
Very clean especially for an older place - well maintained with friendly staff
A good sized, nice, comfortable room. Excellent water pressure in the shower. Convenient location, close to Maryborough hospital for visiting a sick relative.
Room was clean, bed were comfy and amenities very satisfactory
The shower was amazing! The bathroom had recently been renovated and the shower was hot and had good water pressure. The rooms were serviced daily and the lady was super friendly.
The host was less than happy to greet me. The room had a toaster which was great but no plate or knives which made it tricky to butter my toast.
Location is good for our purpose. Parking was always available on site, water pressure was great. Bed was comfy.
Check in staff was terrible, (man) communication ( x 2) was. no. existent, failed to supply basics to stay comfortably, even when asked. (no reply) Carpet in rooms was very dirty
like thats is has fans and a/c love the shower good hot water and roomy
beds are a bit hard parking not good
Sheets were clean, beds were reasonably comfortable, the bathroom was nice, parking right out the front of the room.
Blankets on the bed were way over due for a wash, aircon very noisy and didn't work very well, freezer in the fridge was dirty and smelt really bad.
Location, nice towels, good shower.
No cutlery, plates, wine glasses, small carpark, small rooms. Family room is too small but costs more,
The water pressure in the showerYou had o go to the office to get knives and forks etc
The bed
Very quiet rooms, set back from the road
Bed was very uncomfortable, shower pressure was low, aircon unit was loud
