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.

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

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.

Overnight stay small hotel with 10 rooms. The rooms have a double bed however plenty of room for a queen or king bed. Shower press was good but the bathroom needs refreshing and the door wouldn’t close. Fly screen on bathroom window was broken and unable to close window. No hairdryer. The benches and side table are new and look good. Not many places to select from in this location.
The lady was very friendly at reception.

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.

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.
