We stayed twice. Dates 4th to the 6th January then 15th to 17th January due to a major scouting event happening in Maryborough. The first room 31 we stayed at had 2 air conditioners in 2 rooms. Kept the rooms cool at all times. It was great with lots of room to move around. Very comfortable. The second room 22 was meant to be an upgrade. It was in the sense of the loft but not great to stay cool. There was 1 little air conditioner to cool a large space that was not working. The other much much older air conditioner did not work at all. We sweat through a 38 degree day with what seemed no air conditioning. This needs to be fixed if the price is different due to the loft. The other, was having to fight over a car space due to the room location. It all worked out though. Apart from this, everything else was great. Breakfast was brought to our room with a smile and great service.

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.

Clean and very spacious rooms, like a home away from home. The bed is big and comfy, they have a small kitchen which servs breakfast only but there is a nice little pub, 1 mins walk away that puts on great meals.
