The location was great and the grounds and room were clean. Great to have a refrigerator and microwave available.

Some of the single beds rolled around so if you toss and turn a lot the bed will roll with you. The staff also knocked on our door before check out and were asking when we would be leaving. We were all packed up and ready to go but we felt more rushed with their presence.

The rooms were no fuss and fitted our needs. The bedding was comfortable, warm and clean

The internet was at times dodgy but that could also be the surrounding area I would have liked some better facility for washing the crockery - a detergent and wipe I also felt a hand towel in the bathroom was needed and face washers. We were adulkts and could manage but as it was a family room, i think a family would have needed these. Air conditioner was a bit aged

Motel allowed us to arrive late and to get later checkout. Room was spotless and clean. staff were friendly and engaging. The manager (lady) was pleasant to deal with and talk to. All round, it was a pleasant overnight stay.

There was some excess ice in the freezer unit of the fridge and we did not have any milk (for tea) in the fridge until morning.

Spa bath was good after a long day and recliner chairs were comfortable. There was an indoor table and chairs as well as an outdoor setting.

Wasn't a fan of the mirror at the side of the handbasin as it was too hard to see in it to style hair without standing in the bath.

The location was perfect for my needs. Near the hospital with early check in. Highway noise was minimal. Breakfast was cooked perfectly, arrived hot and on time. Very affordable.

I wish I had time to thank someone personally at the Reception.

Quiet Clean Lovely staff - they called me ASAP when I’d left my jumper behind.

I had a little trouble with the wifi, the signal strength was ok but the connection through to the internet could drop occasionally so good for browsing and email but unsuitable for a Zoom/Teams live meeting

The room was small, but definitely covered what you need. Supply of the kettle, toaster and fridge were unexpected but welcomed. :)

No curtain over the bathroom window meant that we woke up every early due to the sunlight coming straight in. Water in the shower/bath was a little on the colder side.

This not the first time we have stayed at Shady Rest. It is one of the cleanest and most comfortable Motels we have ever stayed in. Convenient location, you don't hear the traffic, you can't hear people in the room next to you. It is exceptionally clean and tidy and perfect for families. Highly recommended.

Staff were always helpful. It was easy enough to get to and from once we got our bearings and realised how hilly Gympie was.

Unfortunately I missed the breakfast. But I’m sure it would of been a 10/10 just like the hospitality and being just off the highway you don’t hear much which is amazing.. I was greeted with smiles:) I’d defiantly return & no11 has got a beautiful spa check it out urselfs.

Leaving.
