Mineral Sands Motel

Rooms are beginning to show age and really in need of upgrade. Shower taps are illegal with hot water on r/h side, although a paper signs on shower door alerts you. Bathroom very small not enough room to stand and dry after shower. Room service was ?? First day our coffee cups were removed and not replaced. We were booked in for 7 nights and had to request room service after nothing done for first 4 Days. Twice cleaners opened door without knocking but then never returned! Also very noisy all night with large trucks braking for the traffic lights at nearby intersection. Not a good experience and will not stay there again.

My wife and i recently stayed here, check in was easy, plenty of car space. Room was on the 2nd floor and adequate, clean roomy, quiet although a bit dated, pleasant enough stay for the night, there is a pool on site .

Missing the nice touches that I have experienced at other places in this price range. Bed was very firm and room quite small. Had a microwave but nothing to put food into to heat up other than a plate. Bathroom very compact. Smoking was allowed outside the rooms, being on the second floor the smoke smell came straight up and into our room.

Clean and tidy. Wifi was sketchy, and no signal pretty much the whole time in our unit, but when we queried, it worked great in reception (which would’ve been handy if that’s where we were staying…). Advertised with free breakfast (booked via Qantas.com), however was told they “don’t do breakfasts anymore because it’s just not worth it” (umm, ok, but we booked it as “breakfast included”. Would post a photo of our breakfast, but you know how that went for us…) Nice little motel otherwise.
