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.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
