Bit noisy towards highway side was main thing, but hey for what we paid - we got for $120 for a Wednesday night sleepover on our travels. The linen was lovely and fresh, good TV was a bonus, great water pressure so a lovely hot shower was appreciated. Scrumptious meal at the tavern- was great to have some wholesome veges and the salmon was delicious. No complaints here.

Inexpensive, clean, tidy, cosy, well-appointed accommodation centrally located in Sarina. Easy off-street parking. Excellent pub food, icy cold beverages, and amazing, friendly staff. Bottle shop located onsite as well as Pokies for those interested. I would stay again and recommend to others :-)

The staff were great. Room very adequate and clean for the price. Convenient location, however because it is in between two pubs so noisy and drunken people arriving home early hours of the morning, sitting outside their rooms smoking and yelling caused us to have no sleep.

Check in and room were great. Nice tea coffee and biscuit caddy. One concern was what appeared to be a significant amount of black mold on the ceiling of the bathroom.

Staff were very friendly at check in. My stay was comfortable. Bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. Quiet enough considering it was on the Bruce Highway. Could do with a reverse cycle a/c. I felt a bit cold. Otherwise, I could stay here again and I recommend this hotel.

Although check-in was a little confusing you went to one of the bars and the barmaid checked you in. The units were in a separate building from the hotel and the hotel itself made no impact on the quietness or accommodation. I would stay there any time I was passing thru Sarina rather than going on to Mackay, 9 out of 10 for a motel type accommodation.
