A rest on a big road working trip

Just an overnight stay but I found it to be very comfortable and the service was really good. The room was clean and the bed was very comfy. I was working long hours and it was the perfect place to rest as it was very quiet.

Could have been longer - I wish!

Staying at the Barrier Reef Motel while visiting Innisfail for a sporting event was a great decision. Check-in staff were welcoming and courteous, the room was very quiet, comfortable, spacious and clean. Dined in - and was very impressed with the meal, the service and the friendly casual atmosphere. Wished I didn’t need to check out at 6am! Would have thoroughly enjoyed a few more hours and a swim.

The best of a bad bunch

Restaurant is a good option for breakfast, evening dining was dreadful. While renovated and offering all facilities the overnight traveller might require, the rooms are like a dark small prison cell. Unfortunately, they seem to be the best around town and charge like it too. Their free wifi turned out to be restricted to 4 hours.

Consistent

The Hotel is always busy so that tells you all you really need to know really - lots of returning customer suggests that it is a nice motel and I have stayed here a number of times now myself. The Pub is a great place for a catch-up and the food is not bad.
