The so called motel had no proper parking as would be expected in a motor inn. The sink cold water tap handle came off in my hand. The fan wasn't working and was handing off with exposed wiring. Only one bedside table. No bed side lighting. The doors to the bathroom didn't close properly. When you walked into the room, the floor was lower by 2inches (I nearly fell down) not expecting to go downward on my way into the room. The Motel's signage out the front was hanging off. They were cutting tiles across from my room on a Sunday - after 5pm. I expected 3 stars as was advertised.

Family friendly place to stay

One night stay but friendly reception. Comfy room with many nice touches you get in big hotels. I made a little mess but no cleaning gear to fix it. Convenient little kitchenette in the room and a comfy bed. I was in the room closest to the entry and road but quiet enough and a good location to get around town. Shopping was nearby as is the zoo and Botanic gardens - a great spot to see the sunset with birdlife and the lake.

This motel was the worst I have ever stayed in. The only saving grace was the fact that I arrived so exhausted and bleary eyed that I couldn’t see the filth that awaited me in my room. In the morning, I couldn’t wait to get out!
I am not sure how this property manages to maintain a 3 star rating. My room was atrocious. Rubbish on the bench, pillows so flat they fold when you pick them up, pubic hairs in the shower, pipes that don’t drain properly (and the lingering stench caused by that issue), unvacuumed floors, long dark hairs scattered over the tissue-thin mattress protector…
This place ought to be condemned.

We booked a room a Motel Lodge for an overnight stay while driving to Brisbane and it was the worst motel I've stayed at. The bathroom had not been cleaned. There was hair all over the shower and bathroom floor and sink from someone shaving. The bathroom was mouldy and dusty. The shower pressure was super low, to get hot water you couldn't have the cold tap on at all. The shelf and door in the bathroom were water damaged - part of the bathroom door had rotted off and was on the floor. The toilet roll holder was broken too. There was a window without a curtain above the main door that let the balcony light in and lit the whole room up all night. Very loud noises from inside the wall, I think it was water pipes, woke us up at random times during the night. Didn't get much sleep and we left as soon as we could in the morning. I don't recommend Motel Lodge to anyone.

The refrigerator and furniture were dirty and the microwave had hair in it and was filthy. I really do not recommend it. The energy in the place was heavy and the people staying there were strange.

The staff was super friendly and helpful, but I would not stay here that’s for sure!
The floor was filthy and I put a towel on the floor so we could stand on this as it was still wet. The white towel was black from the dirt. The curtains were too small so everyone could look inside. This was temporary fixed with some tape. The two kids mattresses were hard as you could feel the springs.
There is a very good fish and chips shop walking distance and this was a bonus! We were tired and had an early night and left early. Glad to get out of there!

The room was nothing like shown in any pictures, neither was the outside area, front of building or the pool area. Photos are very outdated.

We had broken tiles, dangerous flooring strip between beds area and kitchen area. Broken dispenser in shower. Light switches hanging off wall. Wires exposed between fan and roof, not secured safely or properly.
Wires hanging over bed from TV to power point.

Fan covered in dust and dirt. Shower, toilet and bathroom area dirty, not cleaned properly and mould was seen.

We both woke up covered in bites which we can only assume was bed bugs. We saw a few cockroaches wandering over the kitchen area and benches.

The room had a bar of soap in the soap holder from the previous person, the shower curtain was thrown over the rail, and smelt like urine, the shower obviously hadn't been cleaned. The room was very dirty with moths and a smelt.

The television had no reception, the air-conditioning unit was running at about 100 decibels and was taped up with duct tape.

The fridge stunk.

The room needed at least a two hour thorough clean.

The photos on every booking site look 20 to 25 years old, this would be an extremely good definition of false advertising.

I managed to get approximately 4 hours sleep per night there, while working all day in the hot sun Monday to Friday.

I am very disappointed and will never stay there again or book another room with any company like Expedia, falsely advertising a legitimate health hazard.


Post Script: There was no smoke alarm in the room, just a plastic plate where one used to be. Expedia must immediately contact the fire Marshall and report the risk they are placing their clients under.

Obviously the booking fee is worth more to these booking companies than their clients lives.

Don't stop at it. Drive straight past it. Even at the cheap price it was still bad. It is old and tired. Normally this does not bother me if it is clean and well presented. Sadly, it was not. Going off to get a tetanus booster.

The property inside is very rundown needs totally modernising. All the fittings are broken or missing, also some of the electrical fittings are in a dangerous condition. The floor lino was full of holes. Front door was smashed. Would not go back there again.

Did not like a notification from wotif asking whether we planned on sleeping together and that they might charge us extra if we used 2 beds!
Motel was dated, noisy and unkempt, but clean and staff were fine.

The staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful. The building is a little tired but serves the purpose. This is offset by the price so it’s great value. There are plenty of dinning options and a supermarket etc within a few minutes walk.

The young girl servicing the rooms was excellent. TV control didn't work, shower head leaked, no spare toilet roll, three tea bags, no milk, no soap or shampoo etc in bathroom. Electric Kettle leaked, when pouring.
Bed was good, as was the location of premises.

Never again….it’s a dump

Probably the worst motel I have stayed in Australia for many years. Had to wait for lady to arrive to check in, room was dirty, shower and toilet window curtains filthy. NO toilet paper at all in room? Car parked in my allocated park had broken windows, busted door handle…towels over windows like someone was sleeping in it. It’s pet friendly which is fine, had two dogs in room above and three dogs in room next door, but they were no problem at all….plenty of noise most of the night from people outside talking and up and down steps. I would suggest you book any other place available before staying here.

No reception open at 440pm on a weekday. No one answered the doorbell on the reception door. Had to call. I was told a text was sent to me about checking in. That’s great, but I’m traveling from a different country and booked the hotel using the phone number from the last country I was in. So of course I didn’t get it. So if you’re an international traveller, don’t book here.
Into room and there is absolutely no toilet paper. Not one square or any hidden rolls. Had to call. Took them over an hour to bring some. Half the lights in the room didn’t work. Place was caked in dust. You could see it on the artwork. The bathroom canisters for shower gel etc were either close to empty or non existent (opened the latch to see and there was no canister).

Arrived to find they expected us the day before - their mistake. Showed them the booking on my phone. They put us in a unit that looked like it belonged in the 1950's. Linoleum was cracked and bubbly. The bathroom was small and the light kept blinking. One of the bed lights wasn't working. The curtain wasn't attached properly and outside light was flooding in. Would not recommend and won't be staying here on the way home.

Staffs are very helpful and friendly.
Keep us up to date to reconfirm our booking status.
The charges of the room are fair.
The air conditioner seems pretty old and noisier throughout the night. Having said that we love the place overall and won't hesitate to return to stay if we next drive past Rockhampton in future.

The receptionist was friendly and plesant.
The room was outdated, old biscuits in the tea and coffee section, carpet was old and stained. Popcorn found under one of the beds. The beds were poor matress coils could be felt in the queen bed. There was a spoon in the airconditioner and the vents were full of dirt.
The bathroom was very clean and there was appropriate about of towels. The bedding was clean and in good condition.
it was ok for the price.

On check in, the ac was super noisy & the tv didnt work at all.
Asked for another room & the owner checked the tv, told me i didnt need one anyway & when i said i expected to have the room & amenities i paid for, the owner became verbally aggressive, yelling & abusive.
I would have left if it hadnt been a long weekend & everywhere sold out (i checked following his abusive rant)
The window didnt close properly -& you could hear everything from outside and the other rooms.
The bed was hard, lumpy and noisy, sounding like it was going to fall apart.
The bathroom had mould on the roof & in the shower grout, there was rust on fittings, the fridge, and the toilet roll holder was falling off. The ac was so loud you had to turn the tv way up to even hear it - so it was tv, or aircon. You couldnt effectively or comfortably have both - but as it turns out, it wasnt a dilemma for long, because the ac stopped working anyway the first night.
