2/10 Poor

Well below expectations

No reception - delays checking in because no one present. Manager expressed she was there to help but was openly hostile when approached for shampoo & conditioner. Never responded to an enquiry about whether there was an iron available (we were in town for a funeral) probably the most run-down place I’ve ever stayed. Expedia should be ashamed they list their properties

From the moment getting out of the cab, the lady and i, just felt more than welcome. Mary-Lou the owner is such a bubbly lovely person, nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this motel and will definitely stay here in the future.

Great location but showing its age bit expensive for the quality of the accommodation. But very limited motels in Innisfail. Does the job for short stays

It was relatively clean and safe but somewhat small. As it was only for the night, it was satisfactory.

Happy stay

Happy with the accommodation. Great location. Easy walk to the Crown Hotel for dinner. Easy parking in front of the room. Stayed there 2 years ago and I can see the renovations done. Great job. Love how there are signs saying no smoking in side the room or outside the seat area.👍 Value for money.

Considering I arrived after closing staff were very accommodating. Bit noisy but that stopped around 9pm. Clean but showing signs of age. Smokers directly outside of the room I stayed in.

Not quite sure how this place managed to be listed with hotels.com - what a horrible place. From the moment you drive up to the place with it's delapidated signs and potholed drive, disinterested check-in staff and dated rooms it doesn't inspire confidence. The only plus was that it was clean inside the room - but the bed was old with worn sheets, useless pillows and the whole place left you feeling tacky. Definitely not worth the money to stay here.

Shower was not clean. No toaster or spoons to make tea. Facilities are tired and could use a refresh.
Anne-Maree, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

We had booked into the black marlin motel and paid online for the room but was emailed two days before we were due to arrive that my booking had been cancelled. When I rang to get a reason for the cancellation was told it was Wotif`s fault for double booking, and it happens often ,they owned another motel (the Innisfail City Motel) and we would have to go there. We were unhappy having to stay at a motel we did not chose.

Michael, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Our room was more of a compartment. Definitely wouldn't sleep 3 comfortably. Gap under the door. A/C takes ages to kick in. Bathroom barely big enough to turn around in. Bed very firm and small. No extra pillows. Items like tissues, bathroom bin, more than one small soap and some bench space would be appreciated. Reception was friendly enough.
Amanda, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not recommended

Reception was shut on our arrival. No instructions visible as to what to do. No phone number visible. Used hotels.com app to find number to contact owner. Costly phone call as my phone and I are from the UK and obviously having to phone an Australian number. Given a code to open key safe. Motel looks down at heel. Photos show the view from our room and looking into the room. Evidence of damp on ceiling tiles of room. The whole place needs some TLC. When the owner knows reception will not be manned why not message the person coming to stay via the hotels.com app and send the safe code and room number. The room was clean but uninspiring. It was not value for money. I was very close to giving up on the booking and finding somewhere else to stay. Two things going for it: walking distance to the town centre and excellent internet
