Cons:

The place was super old and super dirty. The dust would lift up as you walk around the carpet. I would leave if I had where to go.

They canceled my reservation while i was in the airport going toward Rockhampton, terrible booking experience. There wasn’t any ither hotel available around so I had to book somewhere else 40 mints drive outside the city. Cant trust them anymore.

A lovely step back in time 2 night stay. Loved it!
Pros:

The heritage ambience of the room was amazing- like stepping back in time. The bed was very comfy we enjoyed our 2 night stay very much. Highly recommended if you like the heritage appeal😊 The room also was very very clean!

Cons:

Maybe the lighting in the room could have been a bit brighter due to a few globes not working in the main ceiling light.

Suitable accommodation for a short stay but probably wouldn’t stay again as we didn’t get much sleep
Pros:

The hotel garden is lovely and the rooms are decorated nicely

Cons:

As soon as you walked into the room all you could smell was a musty odour. It really was overpowering. We opened all the windows and turned the aircon off. It did improve over several hours but it was uncomfortable to begin with.
I’m not from Rockhampton so didn’t realise it was on the train line. Slightly unfortunate as we both got woken up during the night.

Absolutely perfect for a stop over. Will definitely stay again on my way home.
Pros:

The bed was incredibly comfortable and I loved the spa.
The decor was beautiful with a very comfy couch to sit & watch a movie.

Cons:

The only slight negative that can’t be helped was the train noise. Not frequent enough to be too disturbing though.
