Reception permantly closed. Had sign with phone number but we had no phone signal. Another guest phoned for us… no answer. The other guest said to go to Albert Park Motot Inn to check in. No one at reception there. Found a cleaner in laundry who helped us. Apparently access info was in text message, but when on the road in outback Queensland, no phone signal! Also, bathroom needs work.

We booked a three star property and got what we expected for what we paid. It was quite handy walking distance to the railway station and to the shops as well as to visit the great tourist attractions including the Qantas Museum, Stagecoach ride and the Stockman's Hall of Fame. Altogether a great few days holiday!!

Terrible motel in Longreach
Don’t stay here. A dingy, dilapidated motel with no on site assistance. If you can’t find anywhere else to stay in Longreach, do yourself a favour and sleep in your car.

Bed was very hard and springs were sticking into my back the mold in the bathroom would make you sick if you spent much time in there. Pity there's no where to upload photos or you could see the black mold. There was no way to contact management as there was none on site.value for money was very poor

We had a disabled room I think as it had a ramp to the door. The room was set up for 3 people but only 1 chair. The bathroom had nowhere to put toiletries bags or bath towels. It was until leaving we found where the cutlery and plates were… in the microwave. There is no reception on sight so if there are issues no help because you only have a contact number that is not answered or an email which is not helpful if the issue needed to be addressed that day. There are better places in town to stay.

Shuttle pick up from the train was excellent Thankyou. Service was non existent after that. Phone number listed on piece of paper at unattended reception door was never answered. Ended up getting info from local taxi service- v helpful locals in Longreach! Accomodation itself is old and tired and needs a major revamp. Location is fine for walking to local pubs for dinner.

I’m not sure what the go now, no servicing the hotel room, I’m ok with no reception but at least change the towels and replenish the coffee, biscuits, shampoo and soap. Considering the cost I would except servicing every day.

Do not stay here. Did not want to honour quote even though we had email proof. Change of ownership IS NOT an excuse. Run down and not even staffed. Had to drive elsewhere for any information. Will never stay here again and will advise friends and acquaintances the same.

Generally run down and tired and not worth the $$$
Arrived to strong stench of insecticide that the room had obviously been drenched in. Wounded but still alive bugs were visible. Walls had been glued up liberally, only 1 bedside 'table' attached to wall with a clock sitting on it but nowhere to plug it in. Most couple travelling these days would both have phones and or headphones and or watches to recharge. Gaps between ceiling and tops of walls. Toilet roll holder fell off wall numerous times (easy fix tho so I don't know why it hasn't been). Bed very uncomfortable, mattress old and hard. Pillows old and soft. No reception staff - you have to ring an offsite number if needed. On the upside, there's a courtesy bus that will pick you up from train or airport then the driver does the work of the non existent reception and hands out keys for rooms. Little fridge was excellent, kettle and microwave good additions. Water pressure (in discoloured old shower) was good and the aircon was welcomed and good.

Response from Rodd and Liane on 15 Nov,2021
Hi Colleen, I'm not sure what the problem was?? What maintenance exactly do you think needs doing? I would appreciate it if you could email us and let us know if there is something in particular that you are referring to, there is no point putting a review like this online without specifically pointing out issues - we, along with our cleaning staff, work very hard to ensure the rooms are clean, comfortable with everything working so if there was a problem you need to bring it to our attention so we can fix it. You booked 3 nights instead of 4 and then booked the 4th night separately and came into the office to ask if you could be in the same room .... if the room was so bad why didn't you mention something to me at the time? I find this very disingenuous as you were friendly to me in person with absolutely no mention of being disappointed or unhappy in any way with your room. If you look at all our reviews there are not many like your review.
