“A really great place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Booked one night here on the strength of earlier reviews, and am so glad we did. Whilst the motel itself obviously isn't new, the rooms are modern, clean and very spacious. On the main road in to Rockhampton, but is set back, and we weren't troubled by any noise at all. The staff were helpful & friendly. Breakfast, which was included in the price, was awesome and set us up for the day. And the icing on the cake was that they provided real milk for the room fridge instead of those awful, revolting, fiddly little tubs of ultra high treated milk that most places provide, and which will never allow for a decent cup of tea & coffee. If you need a comfortable, friendly place to stay, I don't think you'd regret booking in here.

My husband and I always stay at Sun Palms when in Rockhampton The service is friendly, the rooms clean and the food excellent and plentiful. All the rooms we've stayed in have walk in robes. large bathrooms and large bedrooms. We have stayed in both family 2 bedroom suites as well as double rooms and really have no complaints at all.

“Great value as always”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2011

people found this review helpful

We always stay here when we go to Rocky. The rooms have a great layout and are better than basic. Undercover parking outside your room with decent sized parking bays. The breakfast is included and is always plentiful and good with something for everyone. Can't fault it for the price. Not luxury but great value for money.

Room Tip: Call ahead to book - especially during the week.

“Good Motel on Highway Without the Noise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2010
3
people found this review helpful

Good place to stay in Rockhampton if you don't need to be within walking distance to anything. Clean and large room with a very good restaurant but the bed was a bit hard. The buffet breakfast which is included in the price makes the $120 good value. However, don't choose the Mixed Grill for dinner, if you want to get stuck into the breakfast before you depart.

“Best Motel in Queensland!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2010
5
people found this review helpful

Found this motel by chance when planning our trip. But what a find. We had been staying at some nice but basic places for the previous 4 nights and we were all delighted to find ourselves at such a great motel. My daughters got their own room in our 2 bedroom unit, which we hadn't expected - especially given the reasonable room rate. The bathroom was great with a brilliant shower and spa bath. The fridge was a bonus and there was plenty of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits in the room. Staff in both the breakfast room and reception were lovely and so helpful. Breakfast was very good.
If you need to stop on your journey between Cairns and Brisdane then I doubt if you with find a better motel!!
