What guests think

David Motor Inn suits road trippers and short stays with very friendly service, a handy location near shops, comfortable beds, and a pool/BBQ area, though the property is older, some rooms face traffic noise, and hot water issues recur.

Cleanliness is usually strong, though a few noted sticky carpets, bathroom odors, or minor maintenance problems. On-site dining and room service are well liked when available, but opening hours can be limited. Best for quick, no-frills stays rather than extended visits.

Ideal well priced spot for those on a road trip. Pool looked inviting, and a couple of other road trippers took a dip at the end of their journey. Almost all other guests were packed and on the road again by 7:30am. So a popular spot for the tired traveller.

The pool/BBQ area was wonderful. It was a perfect spot to share a special occasion. We definitely would book again, should we be back in Rockhampton. Thank you management and other staff.

Perfect for our overnight stay. Check in was straight forward after we were early enough to mot meed the after hours key access. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. It was great to relax in the pool before dinner. Restaurant wasn't open the night we stayed but plenty of food options within walking distance or with delivery service. Inside room couldn't hear any street/road noise. Slept well and woke up refreshed.

Clean unit. Very friendly staff. Room service dinner was generous and tasty. Perhaps allow disabled occupants to order room service by phone. Step up into room was not set up for anyone with a mobility disability to have ease of access. Bathroom was not suitable for people with mobility issues.

The room was ok. The bathroom could do with a thorough clean. Had the basic facilities. Good wifi. My room was close to the highway and I got very little sleep - SO NOISY!! If you have to stay here ask for a room far from the road.

If you are just after a no frills bed for the night then this place is fine. It is in a convenient location to Woolworths and a couple of other shops. The rooms are reasonably sound proof but it can be a noisy area. Don’t go if you’re planning on spending time in your room though - there is nothing comfortable about this place.
