Catfish. Nice people running it but it is awful. They do the best they can.
Nicole, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very basic, two single beds, management was great though.
Sean, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We liked the having to not see reception and have codes sent via text to enter the room etc. The beds were comfy. Sheets could have fit the queen bed better. There was a smell in the bathroom that was a mixture of musty and mouldy and the toilet wasn’t sealed to the floor. It was a bit rocky. Overall good stay for a quick stay. Staff were fantastic when I did get to speak to them. I think there may be a renovation going on
Sarah, 2-night trip

Never stay there

The place was an absolute mess, people sitting on the ground in the car park, todlers running around the car park
Craig, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

got yelled at for apparently speeding over the 5km/hr limit. threatened that my windscreen would be smashed. definitely was not going fast as foot was on the brake. the room stunk like there was a combination of cigarettes, mould and dust with cleaning products to mask.

Overall good. Liked the self service BBQ. Recommended highly. Very quiet and comfortable

2/10 Terrible

Do not stay here. I booked the business room which is advertised as soundproof, pillow menu etc. As a business traveller you need to be able to sleep, there was no sound proofing, the photo on web site showed Venetian blinds and black out curtains, there was no blind and only light curtain so as soon as the sun comes up it is beaming through the window. Room next door was making noise until after midnight and with paper thin walls meant you heard everything. The room was booked for two nights but after the first night checked out and found another hotel in town go to. Tried to get a refund but was rejected. The room is definitely not what it presented to be on the web site. Trailer full of rubbish out the front, old fridge just chucked on the ground. Stay away from this place.

Would like our money back This place has a bad name in Maryborough Qld Don’t recommend this motel My number 0418 760089 Low cost accommodation for the local trouble makers Would not recommend this motel to anyone Once again- please refund our moneys
Brian, 1-night trip

Absolute filth. Window above bed broken and covered with ply. Stains all over sheets. Mould all over walls and ceiling. Do not stay here.
Jesse, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

They cancelled my booking without informing me. I got to the Mitel after driving 51/2 hours to be calmly told they had cancelled my booking and I would get a refund. I went to another motel and found that they had not cancelled my booking and I had no refund! Thieves and cheats!

For the price we paid the place needs an overhaul. Paint job fresh up the place. Upgrade bathroom’s. put real windows on not louvers to help with noisy traffic. The pool does not look very inviting everything in the rooms are old and outdated.
