Motel 98

Rockhampton|0.32km from Central Queensland Military and Artefacts Museum
We booked the family room. It was well priced for what we got. Shame the doors don’t line up properly but everyone near us had the same issue. Easy fix maintenance issue but. Beds doubled as a lounge but it meant you can watch tv in bed which a lot of hotels don’t offer TVs in the bed rooms. I presume that’s the difference between a hotel and motel as we don’t normally stay in motels. Nice to cuddle up and watch a movie when the kids go to bed. Didn’t like that the centre door auto locked and only 1 key. Made it hard if the kids wanted to come in during the night. There was a second privacy door but it does not close properly. The second bed in each room came in handy for the younger one. The check in staff were great and knowledgeable. They were down to earth and not “snobbish”. We didn’t feel like we were annoying them asking questions about activities. Loved having the back entrance since the front is so narrow and the same car was parked there during our visit so no way out. It is right on the river and localised so we walked to most things. Shops, breakfast, dinner etc. we only drove to the activities, zoo, museum etc. Take bug spray, we got eaten alive but that’s no fault of the venue, it’s just the location. They were fully booked but we still felt like the only ones there and always had exclusive use of the pool and outdoor area. May be different when it warms up but the kids loved it. If we return to rocky for another short stay we would return to motel 98. The only think I do not recommend is eating at skyring (their restaurant) unless you want to starve. 20kg 9yr old girl ate the $53 steak meal and was still hungry but I’ll leave the full review for their page. Only reason for a 4 not a 5 was the food and no local “what around” booklets like most places have had. Free wifi slow (can’t watch movies on it) but allowed us to google more local attractions. Thanks for a great stay guys.

Rockhampton Palms Motor Inn

Very nice place to visit
Edge Apartment Hotel
4.5/537 Reviews
Stayed in room 602B. Entered room mid afternoon curtains open and western sun blazing in and was about 40C. Turned on a/c to cool room which took a while as the A/c was very old. Around 10pm the old original build split system a/c stopped working and within 1/2hr it was like a sauna in the room so opened window briefly but to many bugs entered. Went down to reception and was given a fan - no offer of another room. Took the fan to the room which just circulated the hot air. Night manager came up briefly but couldn't get A/C to work and promptly left. Got about 1.5hr sleep all night on a mattress that needed replacing years ago. Woke up sweating about 5.30am. Couldn't stay in the heat any longer. Packed up, cold shower and checked out. Told check out person about it but very little compassion shown and and was told to have a nice day !!!! No offer to speak to a duty Manager. Won't be staying there again. A/C filters were filthy and needed cleaning and may have been why it stopped working??
Denison Boutique Hotel
4.3/597 Reviews
Stayed at the Denison last night. It was a wonderful experience. The decor is Victorian/Federation and the facilities were tasteful, clean and very comfortable. The staff greeted us cordially and made us welcome even thought it was quite late in the day. The room was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended if you want to stay in a place that oozes old world charm from a bygone era, but with all the modern conveniences. Our only observation was that the bed, whilst huge and comfortable had a mattress and pillows softer than we are used to. That is not a criticism, just a personal preference. Otherwise, perfect.

Very run down motel. We booked on the day of stay and arrived late. The text communication from the Manager was good and key left in the safe for us upon arrival. The room was either undergoing an upgrade Or was very run down, not sure of which. There were holes in the wall and sections of the wall where paint was missing in places where it was obvious old cupboards had been. The occupants of the room next door sat outside our room most of the night smoking with the smoke coming right on in. Designated smoking areas would be a good idea ( away from the rooms) The hot water system from the room next door sounded like a train in our room .
