Top Central Queensland University Hotel Reviews

Discovery Parks - Rockhampton

10/10 Excellent

"The cabins are fantastic. Definitely enjoyed my stay and the atmosphere. Parking was right next to my cabin and the whole living area is gated so there’s minimal to no worries about theft. Laundry services are reasonably priced and there’s plenty to do on the property itself. Activities in town are a close walk and also a close drive."

Park Avenue Hotel Motel

8/10 Good

"Clean, but venting system very noisy when on."

Glenmore Tavern

"Good location but hard to find the entrance at night even with google maps. The big sign from the road calls it Glenmore Motel with a smaller sign not visible from the road saying Glenmore Tavern at the entrance. Conflicting names and confusing. Dated room but had everything you need. Beds were extra high for some reason and very very soft. Overall was ok."
