This property was not very clean; the whole place is old / broken. The toilet did not flush properly, had to take the lid off the top to fill with water so it could eventually flush. pillows very thin. Pay the extra money and stay elsewhere. This place is only worth about $50 a night.

Do not stay here. Dirty towels in the bathroom, dirt in the bed, hair everywhere. Noisy people everywhere who let their kids scream until late in the night, cars and shouting, door slamming all night. I was constantly woken up. Messaged the owner to no avail. Left at 5am to continue my journey rather than stay a minute longer. The actual rooms are also much worse than the images on the site. Avoid!!

When you arrive, despite it saying reception is staffed during business hours, you have to call to get your room key because there's never anyone in reception. There was no instructions/booklet in the room which sets out expectations during the stay or nearby entertainment. I messaged twice asking for the wifi password but never received a reply so we had to use mobile data the whole stay. The wifi connection I was told to use didn't even appear in my wifi options, although 3 different midcity wifis popped up, all password protected. The bathroom door was brand new, not even a coat of paint was applied to it. It wasn't cut to fit the door frame properly and wasn't able to be closed. There was no hardware attached to the door either, no handles or anything. We ended up putting a chair up against the door when in use to stop the door swinging open. No dishwashing liquid or sponge to do dishes. Can't imagine dishes have ever been cleaned by previous visitors given the hair I got out of my coffee the first morning. No extra toilet paper either. One roll to last 2 people 2 nights. Loud tenants all hours of the night despite many signs throughout the complex about noise between certain times. Looked like someone had previously attempted to break into our room with damage around the key hole and entrance. It did the job for what we needed which was mainly just a bed at night but improvements need to be made.

They have cleaned the rooms up. But they have long term feral families living there that are very noisy and very dirty. If they want business people like my self to stay there they need to clear all the Feral people out 😤

At first it seemed like a nice place, but then thing's sort of took a nose dive. The bathroom was the worst. The shower head wouldn't stay up, you had to literally hold it in position, then it would drip for sometime afterwards. Some of the motel rooms have permanent residents in them, with their animals, so there was a fair bit of barking from their dogs.One couple got evicted whilst I was there, there was a lot of screaming and yelling and the police turned up as well. What was once a nice place seems now to have fallen to disrepair. The person who checked me in had to ring the owner several times to gdt a code to access me in Wouldn't recommend this property, sorry been l

Shall read and believe reviews from now on. Rooms were disgusting there were three used soaps in the shower, rooms were not cleaned. Some reviews mentioned cleaning staff and a manager. We saw noone for three days. The noise at night was rediculous for a motel, it was more like a slum in some nasty area.

Convenient, mostly clean. I resent having to pay $30 for a little 3.3kilo dog, I thought pet friendly meant that the dog was included in price. Children in the complex made more noise &mess.

Many thanks to Kay

Always happy to stay here. Clean rooms comfortable bed adjacent to downtown. This time I became ill with what I believe was food poisoning from a local Chinese. Kay ( who cleans the rooms ) went above and beyond to keep the room hygienically clean and did everything’s to make me comfortable - well above and beyond her duty. Thank you Kay - your work and care are exemplary and is my ch appreciated.

Never again

Not a place for families. Reception done via a security camera and phone, makes you feel like a criminal. Pillow had a weird smell. Blankets keep and cupboard and smelled of poo and had stains. I will never stay there again and will not recommend it as a place to stay.

Good morning Mid City Motor Inn Gladstone was probably the dirtiest and run down place we have ever stayed.  Ever single mining camp i have stayed is has been cleaner and better maintained.  Items of concern were: - strands of black hair in the shower stuck to the wall. - dry used soap on the window sill from previous occupants in shower. - hair and dirt/ dust over the vanity - queen bed sheet (fitted) had rip in it - 1 of the single beds had hair and dirt between fitted and flat sheet.  Daughter ended up sleeping on top of the bed cover. - no batteries in the air conditioning remote, so couldn't adjust. - Cupboard door was missing - Floor in both bathroom and bedroom area was not clean.   This is a room/ complex being used for FIFO workers and is not family oriented. Only positive is water was hot and room was dry.
