Welcome Home Motel Rockhampton

Firstly - I think I got the very last room in Rockhampton that night - I am so grateful they picked up the phone so late that night after 10pm) and I found somewhere to sleep that night. Granted the price was much higher than normal - a local event had everything booked out and priced over double, nearly triple the normal rate. I'm reviewing this hotel at the price listed if I stayed tonight (weeknight - Thurs) with only 1hr notification at the current price showing online - instead of the Monday just past. I don't begrudge what I paid - was just grateful for a bed that night. But I wouldn't have paid that much on a regular planned booking. -------- Very, very helpful staff - everyone I bumped into were so happy to help and also check in on me after checking in so late the night before after a 9+hr drive. (Massively slowed due to heavy rains, roadworks and traffic). Very clean room, air con worked great, bed was super comfortable and the best pillows Ive seen in a long time. Spare pillows and blanket, tea and coffee, milk and water with the fridge. Shower - water was hot with great pressure. As its right on the A1 Bruce highway - yes its noisey sometimes with road trains, but not a deal breaker. A bit dated, but good on a budget and most importantly, clean. Its not fancy, but perfect for a good sleep and shower!

My husband and I stayed one night and that was enough. The room had no basin in the bathroom, no dishcloth, no glasses, no plates, no cutlery (except for 2 teaspoons) and yet there was a toaster (don't know how we were supposed to butter our toast), all the furniture was very, very old but the room's one saving grace was that it was clean. Traffic noise was pretty bad and could hear people in the next room. The motel is within walking distance to many eating places, so that was a plus and the manager was very pleasant. Sorry, but we wouldn't stay here again.
