I stay here whenever in Rockhampton for work. Its good, honest accommodation. The rooms are always clean. The owners are exceptionally friendly. The air conditioning works. The pool is normal size, but seems big enough for the kids Ive seen swimming there. Flat screen LCD televisions and DVDs in each room. The restaurant is very good and I can recommend the tempura red emperor. Service at the restaurant is always fast. The motel is conveniently located on the main road at the south end of town. It is always busy which must say something about it. My only recommendation would be to get a top floor room as sometimes the noise comes through to the downstairs if the neighbors are noisy. Its not a hotel with lots of features, its just a family run, honest Australian motel. I cant complain about the Rocky Gardens.
