    To be honest it was a bit tired but so were we. It could probably do with some money spent on it. For the market we represent it was fine.

    The motel was chosen because of its value and location. It was clean and tidy, basic, but fulfilled all of our requirements and needs,it was quiet and clean that was all we needed. Check in was a breeze.

    The aircon didn’t work and when we phoned to report it no one answered or got back to us. The lady at reception said she would leave a phone number on the door of reception if we needed to contact her but no number was available. There was no remote for the aircon either. Only one chair for two people. The bed was extremely hard. No hairdryer and no iron.

    It was clean and the location was central.

    AC was not working very well ...said it was on and I could feel the colder air but little or no fan . Toilet door was stuck...not a big issue but said to me poor maintenance . Thought it was not value for money...but close.

    Comfortable bed and quiet mostly. Good fridge and quiet.

    I could feel the bed springs. There were no blockout curtains, so the light outside shone into the room. The door to the bathroom wasn't on the tracks and was dirty.

    The place was nice and cosy, a short walk to Coles and close to town. New fridge and the aircon was nice.

    The bathrooms need an upgrade. Also our bed was up against the wall with a timber frame above it and you had to be careful not to hit your head. The fridge in the room was also rusted on the outside.

    Location in the centre of Innisfail. Value for money. Quite at night. Suited us for our one night stay.

    Located next to a pub

    The Manager was lovely and very obliging. The room was very basic but suited our needs and is only a few blocks from the centre of town. It was clean and tidy with parking just outside the room. We didn't have time for a swim but it's one of the few motels in town with a pool.

    No hairdryer available in our room, but I'm sure they would have given me one had I asked.

    Great for an overnight stay. Super close to Roscoe's piazza which was convenient haha. Staff were super kind when we arrived late for check in and I had to call them. Easy driving distance to Etty Bay and waterfall circuit
