Restaurant closed as they didn’t have a chef. I had a room with a spa, could get it to work, as at reception the next morning and was told that they had disconnected them all as they were having lots of problems with them, it’s called maintenance… No apologies from the receptionist or discount for the above. I stay in Rockhampton quite a bit with work, but I won’t be staying here anymore as the place has been in a gradual decline over the past 12 months.

We booked this hotel as the reviews on the cleanliness was excellent. This did not disappoint. Very clean and big shower and bathroom. Clean kitchenette with microwave. Bedding clean. The slight letdown, The tv was not able to use as smart tv although it was on the screen. The air con was old and sounded like a jet tacking off and rumbled all night. We had our door open at 7am by someone, unsure who but it was locked so only someone with a key! It scared us and my partner jumped up and yelled out as my son was crying from This. A table and chair outside upstairs would be lovely also to see the view. Few improvements.

We have stayed in this motel a number of times and this visit will be our last. By comparison, it is more expensive than alternatives. We chose the Stirling because of its location close to town and access to the highway, always appreciating its restaurant. The Restaurant is closed! The breakfast offering was very limited. The TV in our room badly needs replacing. Liquid soaps are in the shower and the hand basin, The shower was empty, the basin left streaks over the bench as it leaked. The basin itself is chipped and damaged, grout missing in the shower. Makings for tea and coffee, wine and water glasses but no plates, bowls or cutlery. Generally not what we were used to at this motel and not worth the extra money. Hopefully the new managers can turn it around and return it to its past glory.
