A great choice!
A great choice for a stay in Maryborough ! I loved the little things like the aircon on for my arrival in a hot day, bottles of cold water in the fridge. Comfy bed, nice white fluffy towels, washes. I couldn’t fault our stay.

This property needs loads of love and money spent on upgrades. The bedroom is separate to the lounge dining area is it’s best feature. The decent size fridge for a motel room was a nice addition. Be aware many people staying at this motel are road side workers and this is where they stay mid week with early departures.

I'd stay again
Short only overnight stay. Motel was easy to find but difficult to enter coming in from the south side as road was narrow and busy - turning right across traffic into the property was difficult. Maybe owners should advertise best to enter from the north. Room was clean and comfortable. Bedding okay but single nneded new mattress. Checkin was easy and staff were welcoming.

Bad wifi, crap parking and the room we were in looked like an old community hall building not the main part of the motel. The room had limited power points and half of the electric equipment was not plugged in due to this. Getting to parking around the narrow driveways provided you will run the risk of damaging your vehicle as visible marks along fences and walls and turning your vehicle there is no room for error.will not stay there again.

It’s a normal motel. Room was large and clean. Had an old microwave and crockery which was nice. The rooms out the back are fine, but not renovated. I had issues connecting to the wifi. Managers tried their best to have it fixed but it didn’t work my whole stay. Pool is pretty average. Expensive breakfast available on site. The best thing about this place is the excellent customer service. The owner/managers went above and beyond and I felt very welcomed.
