Breakfast was cereal, toast etc, which was a bonus, the daily cleaning of rooms was unexpected and nice, the staff excellent, the laundry was unexpected, it’s been a long time since I’ve had all the luxuries of this sort and very welcome. I had to go to Townsville because my granddaughter was flown by rfds to the paediatric ICU and I did a ring around to a few motels, but this one ticked all the boxes.

The things I didn’t like had nothing to do with the property, it was next to a main road and was a bit noisy and the entrance was a bit difficult to find because it’s right next to a traffic light.

A sparkling white and very bright room on the first floor. Spotlessly clean and absolutely immaculate. It had 2 of everything, wine glasses, mugs, plates and cereal bowls, a kettle, toaster, microwave and fridge. Super comfy bed, good quality bedding and towels. We both agreed that it was perfect. Sometimes you find, one glass, poor sheets and towels, not quite as clean as you are used to at home, a bit dark, too far to walk etc.

Absolutely nothing. It got a 10+ from my husband and I.

Location was perfect, a short drive to main highway north. Breakfast was provided previous night, more than enough for us both and sufficient choices. Parking at door so was able to unload luggage straight to door. The room was spotless, no foul or unpleasant odour,, (just like home)! Bathroom was spotless, very clean.

If anything, (and this is not a criticism), roadside signage could be a bit more prominent as there are a lot of motels along that same strip.

Clean and tidy. Had everything you needed. Kettle ,toaster, microwave,fridge, dishes and cutlery. Iron and ironing board. Plenty of PowerPoints. Handy to mall, restaurants and highway going to Airlie Beach. Bed / pillows comfortable.

Hot water took a while to come through but no big deal.

We were traveling to Brisbane with my cat and furniture trailer, the location was fantastic. as we were able to park the trailer off the main road. I was very impressed with the friendly welcome and after a long journey from Cairns, I felt the Banjo Paterson motel was a lovely clean and well maintained sanctuary. Thank you

Easy check-in. Rooms are comfortable

Air conditioning is undersized. I won't stay here in the summer as it's too hot but was fine at the time.

Although not a cooked breakfast it was the convenience of not having to go anywhere early.

We stayed 4 nights and I didn't mind that the bed was not made daily. I disliked that the towels didn't get changed daily.
