What guests think

At The Q Motel Rockhampton, travellers describe a budget, older roadside stop with friendly staff, free continental breakfast, and a handy on-site Thai takeaway, but recurring road and guest noise, tight parking, and dated, variable rooms and maintenance.

Many appreciate hot showers, comfortable beds, and straightforward late check-in. Cleanliness reports are mixed, from very clean rooms to mould, stains, odours, and conditions that sometimes differ from photos. Best for short, simple stopovers focused on convenience.

Good price considering beef week was on. No reception staff were to be seen, check in was just sign the form, grab room key and go, and check out was put key into an ice cream container on the office counter. Parking was hard to get the carpark in front of your room as was taken by others so had to park out on the road. Room was average, and noisey by rooms above and beside.

The wotif listing advertises a pool but there is no pool. This was the cheapest room we could find in Rockhampton at the last minute but given the facilities and environment I think it should have been cheaper. There was a man with a crowbar checking car doors and looking for cigarette butts in the car park. Also some other people that I didn’t feel entirely safe around. Everyone needs a place to sleep, but I wouldn’t recommend this place especially if you are travelling with children.

The motel and room is older but has everything you need for an overnight stop, the Thai food was great! The manager/owner even allowed us to park in a separate driveway because we were towing a boat and our only other option was on the street. Very accommodating.

A very comfortable stay. The Thai restaurant on site is excellent; only does meals to your room. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Beds are comfortable. There was a very generous choice of cereals and breads for the free continental breakfast. I find the parking a bit tight, which is the only negative I would give here.

On arrival there was no staff just a check-in paper on the front table. We went to our room and all the curtain were just hanging off the rails but this was wiyh all the rooms. Inside the ceilings had all stains on them ( food/blood?) Black long hairs on the tables. Fist marks in the walls. The toilet and shower had hairs on the walls and floor. The bed base had all stains and marks on them. We would nevrr stay here again and rather pay a bit more money. It felt like i went to a brothel room. You could hear everyone talking in other rooms and at the front and upstairs. I was glad we left and couldnt wait to have a shower at the next destination. Wouldnt recommend at all.

The motel room has a funky smell when we entered the room. Which we realised was a vomit smell. The tv remote didn’t work as took us a long time to figure out how to turn it off. It was on when we opened the door. The shower I realised after stepping in had dead insects and was full of someone else’s hair. We couldn’t contact anyone from the office and the motel was full so couldn’t ask for a new room. We left again at 8.30 pm after checking in at 2pm and nearly drove straight back to Brisbane. Thank goodness for a friend with a spare bedroom. Worst motel I’ve ever been in. Don’t ever stay there!

Rooms weren't very clean black mold on roof of bathroom and skylight there was rubbish under bed and pillows smelled like they had been wet and not dried completely. Also during our stay I was not well and wasn't able to go get my breakfast that was complimentary so my partner while he was getting his breakfast was getting mine as well, he was then abused by some of the permanent tenants there for as they said rudely "you can do that, your stealing all the food". I am keeping it PG because I don't like some of the language they used. All this this goes my partner made two bowls of cereal and took a quarter bottle of apple juice which would equal two small cups, there were numerous full bottles of apple juice and plenty of spare bowls for everyone else.

How this property gets 4/5 is beyond me. It was unsafe and no one answered calls or messages. After 2 hours of sleep due to guests drinking and smoking (the safety issues), we had to leave in the early hours in the morning. Truely frightening experience not to mention the dirty curtains and peopling paint everywhere. I have no words.

I was running late to arrive, driving all day, it's the only motel that ever messaged me in my life (via wotif) how to collect keys after hours & reception hours. Motel was very full, but manager found me a very safe & dry spot to park my trailer with all my precious belongings. Manager took a real interest in helping resolve my concerns. Very clean. I noted shower was wheelchair accessible for those who may need that.

There was no interaction with staff. Check in was a number of people's reservations placed onto a table so that everyone's details could be read by others. Rooms were spartan, with old, worn or stained furniture. I found long hairs in the bathroom. The air con was on in the room when I arrived so that was thoughtful. The bed was comfy. When I walked in though, I thought "what has happened to this place?" as I've stayed there a few times. This hotel has declined a lot over the past few years.
