Staff went above and beyond to assist with laundry facilities, getting us condiments, letting us park our car while we ventured on a Whitsunday sailing for 3 nights and stored our luggage without additional cost. We TOTALLY appreciated this.

Walls paper thin. People were playing Yahtzee in next room and I could tell how many dice they were throwing each time. The place smelled of smoke. Room clean but very dated. Bedding clean but sheets and blanket awkwardly arranged. View out window was of a wall. Had to go into bar to check in and back into bar to get wifi password.

Everything was good, but one thing that was not good was that when I opened the lid to use the kettle, it was so dirty that I couldn't use it. The moment I saw the dirty kettle, I felt so bad and wondered if other places were dirty too.
