Kristy OsmanJanuary 11, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stopped by for one night. Received an upgrade to a two bedroom apartment, which was expected and welcome news. Communication pre arrival was really good. The room was clean and the staff on site were quite friendly. A fairly short walk right into the main street of Queanbeyan. Would stay here again! 👌 Eamon MurnaneJanuary 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent room and probably the best service I have ever had a hotel before. They seamlessly cleaned and maintained my room throughout the day as well as restocking our food. The parking was good, so was the beds, air conditioning, bathroom and kitchen having all ammenities. Highly recommend!

Love this place Jenny SheehanJanuary 8, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the cleanest and most well kept motels I have stayed in. Lynda BarsbyDecember 30, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great quiet location across from the river. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was so comfortable! The shower could do with a bit of maintenance as it was leaking from the top when on and under the door onto the floor but it still worked great. A short walk and easy access to the shops. Looking forward to my next stay! Natalie HarrisNovember 26, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The room was very clean and comfortable. Location was great, walking distance to restaurants and pubs. Perfect for what we required.
