staff were amazing friendly and warm, the decor of the tavern & drink selection catered to a wide range of tastes. The food at the restaurant exceeded all expectiations outstanding!!!!! - absolutely delicious! hassle free check in and conveniently located 30 mins from emerald. The rooms were clean, modern and spacious - with all the amenities you would need inclu a/c, kettle, toaster, glasses and mugs, outdoor area for sipping afternoon drinks, the pool was a hit with my 7YO all with the convenience of the tavern to relax and unwind after a long drive. We stayed here on our way to Townsville. The perfect halfway point to relax and recharge. Would highly recommend and would definately viist again!

no cutlery in the motel room

We loved the Staff, particularly the cook, I think that we were quite spoiled by her, and her tastey potatoe Bake. The food was excellent and the rooms whilst not huge were very neat tidy and cosy. But the key to enjoying the stay were the friendly staff with in the Tavern, they were just Brilliant and made us feel very very welcome. I will never forget them.

No foxtel, Dated TV,s with no Foxtel. In my opinion if you are running regional hotels, with dated television sets that are not streaming capable, they there should be at least the full suite of Foxtel channels available, it's 2024, not 1982 and regional and rural television programs are just not enjoyable for viewers. However this will not deter me from returning to this place in the future.

Everything, it was clean quiet and quite good value for money, with a Country pub attached to it

Not much lighting outside the rooms at night when trying to pack/unpack the vehicle. No Smart TV either, so that sux in the modern age of streaming services that you can log in and out of. Every hotel should have a smart TV as a standard option these days, as they aren't that expensive anymore.

It was great to find a place that welcomed our dog, she is well behaved and hardly sheds, doesn’t bark, but so many places are cancelling dog stays. We have stayed here a few times now and she is always welcome and they don’t charge extra.

Bindis in the grass, hard for dog and human to walk on. Air conditioner noisy

The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, ensuring a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. The prices were surprisingly reasonable, offering great value for the quality of service provided. The highlight, however, was the outstanding food—delicious and diverse, catering to various tastes. I highly recommend this hotel for an all-around excellent experience. Value for money.

Our room was very clean and quite modern and looked better than the pictures shown on the website. The shower was huge with excellent shower pressure and very hot, hot water. Large writing desk and modern cupboards for clothing and toaster etc...

We left early and struggled to find the drop off box for the key. No sign on it.

The staff were friendly, it was good pub food, nice quiet location.

There wasn't an exhaust fan in the bathroom, there was a stain on the sheet, had to ask the cleaner for a fresh towel and supplies on 4th day

Dooleys is one of the best roadside motels I've have ever stayed in. It's exceptionally clean, it is well laid out so your privacy from other guests is guaranteed and the attached tavern is fantastic.

Got nothing to write in here. It's tippy top.

Great spot along the highway. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Very accommodating with our dog as well. The overnight stay was perfect for an overnight stop with a lovely meal from the restaurant.

Rooms are spacious and well laid out. Beds are comfortable, although the mattress was a bit soft. Very quiet and air conditioning was a blessing after the hot days travel.

Unfortunately, the pool was in dire need of cleaning and had an accumulation of rubbish floating in the green water.
