Quality Resort Parkhurst
Would have given a perfect score except for the terrible water pressure in the shower. Staff were excellent, restaurant was excellent in food and service, the rooms and beds were very comfortable. All round a great place to stay.

Capricorn Motel & Conference Centre
Check in was great, very friendly. The room was spotlessly clean and looked great, good amenities too. Only downside is air con only just managed to take the heat out of the room,certainly not cool and mattress could do with replacing- not comfortable

Bayview Tower
Room was great. Basic but clean. Great views. Breakfast great. Property was advertised as having parking but there was very very limited parking on site so we had to park on street. Street was steep so taking luggage in and out was a challenge.

The Cosmopolitan Motel and Serviced Apartments
Only a microwave in the motel room. No crockery, cutlery. No tea towels to dry coffee mugs.
