Clean, comfortable, economical

Bed was really comfortable, sheets were really nice, shower was hot, room was clean. Price was good. Noisy at times being on highway and railway line, but not too bad really.

Great friendly service but a tad noisy!

Great location for the mines etc, but the railway line is a little too close and it goes all night.

The property is right beside the Capricorn Highway with road traffic slowing from around 10:00pm but starting up again at 4:00am. Walls are paper thin so the ability to block out road noise and neighbours party impossible.

I cancelled this property twice by email directly with motel. And spoke to your customer service to arrange refund due to being 500ks away from area. He guaranteed a refund even though it was non-refundable due goodwill. He would arrange refund once he spoke to the motel. As he could not make contact, he advise that the team would follow up. No refund as yet or follow up email

Basic but ok. Cleaning requires a little attention and fittings need updating. Such as new lighting. The existing fluorescent tubes are missing the covers/diffuser and there’s no ceiling fan. Bathroom is updated and is good with the exception of a working exhaust fan.
