Love the location and the staff were super friendly. Rooms are always well-looked after and the blockout curtains make holiday sleep-ins so much better. Shower pressure for one of our rooms was exceptional.
The parking spots are super close together and to poles so I was scared to park when the car park was close to full. The towels were freshened when needed but for a one week stay, they wouldn’t refresh any of our bedding/linens.

This facility was amazing - management went above and beyond to assist us. We booked here as a last minute decision having realised that the place we originally booked was less than satisfactory- the manager quickly found us a room here and it was neat and tidy and new and fresh - this is the best place we have ever stayed at - can not fault anything.

The room was tidy and clean. We had traveled all day so to be able to buy frozen meals in Emerald knowing there was a microwave was amazing, unfortunately there was no cutlery, but we made do. Staff were friendly and the reception was open until 9pm. Bed was super comfortable. The room we stayed in was back away from the highway.
Nothing, everything was great

Big room with a very comfortable bed. Loved the wide screen TV. Spacious bathroom with shower and toilet. Parking straight outside the unit.
I was disappointed that there were no dinner plates, bowls or cutlery despite having a microwave. Thankgoodness the road noise settled down later in the night. Would have liked a ceiling fan.

So convenient, super clean and good value. Have stayed here before and would definitely stay again.
Being so close to the highway, there is a noise factor, however not enough to stop me staying. The facilities over ride that factor.

Superb place, ideally situated on the outskirts of Rockhampton and a perfect place to stay on our road trip up the East Coast. Spotlessly clean, well equipped, stylish and quality room with comfortable bed and excellent facilities. And parking right outside the door. We enjoyed a delicious dinner at the excellent on-site restaurant. Highly recommended.

Location was ideal, driving distance to centre of town. Everything was available in the room for a passing through, overnight stay. Restaurant is cosy and serves wonderful dishes. Would definitely stay again.
