Summary: The rooms are a bit tired which is too be expected for a budget motel, however the lack of service items demonstrates a certain lack of willingness of staff to provide appropriate service. The room I checked into had no soap, no bathmat, no hand towel, no chair to sit on, no glasses in the cupboard. The television remote was missing and the air conditioning remote had no batteries. There were towels and coffee cups.

Summary: I’ll start with the positives. It’s a short list. The fridge was better than I expected. The cooling system worked. The shower was good. Now for the negatives. Check in was from 2pm. No one arrived until 2.10. The line was “someone at our other motel locked herself out of her room “. Having re-read the reviews, this seems to be the standard excuse…I unpacked a little and realised there were no towels in the room. Back to Reception, no one there. I rang the number provided, left a message, no response, waited another ten minutes with a guy trying to check in. I was told “this is the third week in a row they’ve forgotten to put towels in”. The very nice (but overworked or disorganised) manager said she’d deliver them. Meanwhile, I couldn’t log on to the wifi. Back to Reception. It seems it’s a common problem. I was given the management password and it worked okay… An hour later, she came with 2 bath towels, no hand towels. But nowhere to hang them apart from one hook. The bathroom door wouldn’t close. One power point was broken, meaning you could watch tv or boil hot water. And the advertised toaster wasn’t there. I realised at around 9pm, when I was wondering how much I’d paid for this place, that in fact I’d booked a triple room and was given a double. And a double made for one occupant. One bedside lamp. One chair. One serving of sugar. And one dead cockroach on the floor which had probably died of disappointment. Innisfail is nice, but don’t stay there. Stay in Tully.

Summary: It was simple & convenient & close for our overstay needs , the owners were helpful and it was quiet and felt safe. Still would be good to have better locks on the door . I suggest a dead lock or chain lock as only had the door knob style handles.

Summary: From the moment getting out of the cab, the lady and i, just felt more than welcome. Mary-Lou the owner is such a bubbly lovely person, nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this motel and will definitely stay here in the future.

Summary: Reception was shut on our arrival. No instructions visible as to what to do. No phone number visible. Used hotels.com app to find number to contact owner. Costly phone call as my phone and I are from the UK and obviously having to phone an Australian number. Given a code to open key safe. Motel looks down at heel. Photos show the view from our room and looking into the room. Evidence of damp on ceiling tiles of room. The whole place needs some TLC. When the owner knows reception will not be manned why not message the person coming to stay via the hotels.com app and send the safe code and room number. The room was clean but uninspiring. It was not value for money. I was very close to giving up on the booking and finding somewhere else to stay. Two things going for it: walking distance to the town centre and excellent internet
