I can't speak highly enough about my recent stay at Arkana Motel Maryborough. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism by the staff, who went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcome and comfortable throughout my stay. The first thing I noticed was how spotlessly clean everything was – from the reception area to the rooms themselves. The attention to detail in the housekeeping was second to none. My room was pristine, with fresh linen, sparkling bathroom surfaces, and not a speck of dust in sight. It’s clear that cleanliness is a top priority here, and it made for a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience. The staff were an absolute standout – friendly, helpful, and always ready with a smile or a recommendation for local attractions and dining. They created a welcoming environment that really sets this motel apart. If you're looking for a place that values cleanliness, comfort, and exceptional service, Arkana Motel is the perfect choice. I’ll definitely be staying here again the next time I’m in Maryborough! The other thing is, most motels in the area treat you like you're a criminal before you step in the door wanting to know why you're there or why youre in their town - this place does not. They have a you beaut automated check in system where you don't need to be questioned like you've don't something wrong.
Had no issues with the 3 nights I slept.

From booking to check-in the process was smooth. Check-in using digital pins is convenient and quick with no fuss and allows for arrival after hours without having to race the clock. Room was is clean condition. Bed was decent. I found it just an all round good country motel.
The rain as it was quite wet when we were there but no leaks or anything so it's good to know the place is solidly built.

The previous time it was different. On this occasion everything has much improved - I got a renovated room, aircon cold, bathroom looked and smelt immaculate. Also the clientele have improved vastly. Has the potential to be one of the better place in Maryborough once the upgrades are complete.
Bed was a tiny bit hard but used getting variety of beds when travelling.

Easy and efficient check in with very helpful onsite caretaker. Night was quiet and had no problem sleeping. Look at some of the previous comments, I can say completely unfounded. Would not hesitate to stay again and having stayed at all other motels in maryborough I can categorically say, the rooms are the same standard yet here is much cheaper.

I suggest this is the place to stay if you have a large vehicle. Carpark is huge and we could even fit our trailer. I'm surprised, whilst an older style motel, like all in this area, it's exceptionally well looked after and spotless. Any accommodation under $200 these days is ridiculously cheap and this place fits the bill. Rooms range from $130-170 AUD and in my opinion that's a winner any day of the week. Even the people in the neighbouring rooms were so nice.
Weather was a little average.

Slept very well during the time we stayed. Had no issue with arriving late and seamless check in process. Staff extraordinarily friendly and helpful and a nice coffee place directly across the road. The room, had all we needed and spotlessly clean with free tea and coffee a bonus. Suited our needs for a quick and quiet stay.

I was travelling with a dog. For first time I didn’t get worst room in place which seems to be what I have found whilst paying extra for pet. Room was old but well maintained, clean, comfy and practical, even had a throw rug for bed for dog which comes in handy.
would have liked room service for hot breakfast but very rare these days.

Easy to find location. Staff prepared for us to separate room because we are couple and two students, it was no extra fees. Restaurants near by, we had woodfire oven Pizza.
I don't think so.
