Great friendly service but a tad noisy!

Great location for the mines etc, but the railway line is a little too close and it goes all night.

The property is right beside the Capricorn Highway with road traffic slowing from around 10:00pm but starting up again at 4:00am. Walls are paper thin so the ability to block out road noise and neighbours party impossible.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Basic but ok. Cleaning requires a little attention and fittings need updating. Such as new lighting. The existing fluorescent tubes are missing the covers/diffuser and there’s no ceiling fan. Bathroom is updated and is good with the exception of a working exhaust fan.
