The attitude and rudeness of the reception lady was terrible . Carpet looks likes it’s never been cleaned - stains everywhere AC didn’t work and was filthy TV didn’t work Bed was also quite disgusting. I left early it was so bad and the receptionist still charged me. $220 per night is an absolute rip off. Don’t stay there - would have been better sleeping in my car.

This is the only place I will stay in Emerald. Reasonably priced pet friendly accommodation close to town. Whether you have a pet or not I doubt you’d find a more comfortable place. With super friendly and accommodating staff

Quiet hotel away from highway noise.

Welcoming friendly staff. Lovely clean room away from the noise of the highway. Mattress was very comfortable and we had an excellent night’s sleep. Would have given a higher score but was let down by the bathroom. Firstly the sink wasn’t in the bathroom but outside the bathroom near the entrance to the room. Not a deal breaker but the bathroom itself was unclean. Had we not just driven for over twelve hours we would have spoken to reception. Instead we put our thongs on and made sure not to touch the screen. A little disappointing in what was a very comfortable room.

Good facilities and restaurant

Adam (Mgr & Nth Melb supporter) was exceptionally welcoming. Room was good size and very clean. Shower door is very low so watch your head if you are over about 175cm. Bed was too soft for my liking although still had a good sleep. Undercover parking available for the car. Highly recommend restaurant located in site which seems very popular with the locals

Country hospitality at its best!

As always we enjoyed our overnight stay here. The reception and restuarant staff very friendly and efficient. Our dinner in the resturant was sensational, my hubbie LOVED the chilli tiger prawns. The only negative...the bathroom needs a freshen up, regrout etc, otherwise overall the motel is a really comfortable resting point on our annual Christmas road trip.
