Hotel terbaik di West Gladstone

Stayed with my family for a primary school 125 year celebration for 2 nights. Room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. When we arrived the reception was dark and the person behind the desk appeared to be sitting in the dark for some reason.but he processes our booking quickly and efficiently and we were off to our rooms. The lawn was overgrown across the entire grounds which made the place look untidy, but everything was well cleaned inside. The aircon in my room “112” was not very effective, but I was able to move my bed underneath it which made it acceptable. It was quite warm both days so without moving the bed the room would have been very hot. The strength of the shower head was awesome and the temperature made showering a pleasure. It is sad to see that the restaurant is gone as it used to be one of the best in Gladstone.

From a photographer pensioner's perspective, not being able to afford high-price accommodation, the Aaron Motel in Gladstone, Queensland, made our overnight stay quite affordable. The relative ease with which one, or as many as you wish, can access the Gladstone CBD and waterfront is well worth the inconvenience of the Motel's semi-urban location. The benefit there being this location, unalike the nearby CBD, does not have the volume of noise and traffic as it's visible neighbour. Earlier bedtimes, all the rage with some oldies. If wearing rose tinted glasses, upon removal, notice you may have a, well behaved, tradie's 4wd parked next to your vehicle. Tact is all that's needed to overcome any phobia of tradies. Seriously, try striking up a conversation, maybe about their job, to' break the ice'. So much is learnt through talking. The photographer would do very well by visiting, within reasonable walking distance, the Eastern Shores Precinct after dark. Its coloured water fountain feature is a boon. The rest of the walk around the park's perimeter has many interesting angles and intensities of light. Maybe stop and watch the latest cricket match on a large screen on the grassy reserve. If, unavoidably, you fall asleep on the lawn till dawn, carry on with an early daylight re-shoot. A casual stroll to waterfront proper will realise the same satisfying results as the previous night's shoot. This time it's gulls perched on a mast top, glints of sunrise masking storm clouds, images of a yellow hulled ketch reflected in the smooth, aqua marine, surface of its host body of water. Make sure that you're shooting-away during the morning MLH, ( Magic light Hour), be there well before 8:00 a.m., after which you can expect your stately carriage to turn into a photoshop project. Don't jig around for too long, there's the CBD and all it's got to offer including the coffee. And, of course, the short walk to your unit at the Aaron for a well earned, mid-morning nanny/ poppy nap. Enjoy.

Basic but comfortable room. Affordable and served the purpose of a place to sleep and a hot shower before heading over to Heron Island. Staff were easy to deal with and flexible about our late arrival. I don’t think breakfast is available which would be good but no matter we headed off to a local cafe.

It started off well (sarcasm). Arrived in the evening and they didn’t have my confirmed fully paid booking and told me I had the wrong place. After a conversation and then looking at their system, they found my booking email but there was no room still. Could put me up for the night, but the rest of the week would be sorted in the morning. And, it was sorted. Failed to contact me to advise though. I needed to go to reception. The staff were pleasant and I understand these things happen. My issues were with the room and housekeeping. The room stank. It wasn’t quite a mustiness or a rotten smell, kind of something in between. There was a thick layer of dust on all the wall hanging. The bathroom extraction fan was totally clogged with dust so that it didn’t actually extract anything. There was always little fruit flies buzzing about and the cockroach climbing over the TV wasn’t pleasant. The usual extra hard bed you find in hotels 😦. No instructions for the oven or dishwasher. Took a little to figure them out. In fact, no room compendium so no information about anything. Frying pan handle was snapped off and just sitting next to the pan. The furniture seemed a bit old and sitting on the sofa made my allergies flare up. As for housekeeping, in addition to never dusting anything, all they did each day was empty the trash, triangle the toilet paper and only half the time, make the bed. I had to ask for fresh towels. The towels I left on the floor for housekeeping to remove each day, stayed there the whole week. They just never took them. I don’t expect housekeeping do to the odd dishes that I had. I find most serviced apartments do, but not here, so I did them myself, but housekeeping never replaced the dishwasher detergent so dishes were done with just water 😕. I put a pizza box next to the bin for housekeeping to remove, but they didn’t. It stayed there all week, and in fact it toppled over and prevented the cupboard for the bin from closing, like full blown half ajar, not just a little crack. I left it like that the whole week wondering if housekeeping would try to see why it wasn’t closing and remove the pizza box, but didn’t happen. I won’t stay at this place again

We booked a room for a family of 4 in Dec 2021, on our way to a Heron Island dive holiday. Although the room was very small for four people, it was adequate, and good value considering it was only $90 for the night. The room was unlocked when we arrived and a txt told us the key would be inside. We saw no motel staff at all during our stay. We left the room the next morning unlocked with the key inside, as we usually do. After our holiday we noticed the charge on our bank statement was $130 rather than $90 as quoted?? I emailed the motel enquiring why and an email sent from someone’s phone read (in verbatim): “During the clean there was missing pillows out of the rooms so there has been a surcharge, Regaurds management”. I replied via email, stating that we didn’t take any pillows, and that our bags were already fully packed with not only clothes but dive equipment and Christmas presents. Also, being without a car we would have had to carry any stolen pillows in the taxi and on the ferry to Heron Island and back. If indeed any pillows were actually missing from the room they may well have been taken prior to us arriving, since the room was left unlocked for us. I informed them that I find it very unprofessional for a business to charge above the quoted price without firstly seeking an explanation regarding the need for the extra charge, and it being unscrupulous for them not informing us of the extra charge. I took offence to the presumption of theft and of their dishonest practices and requested a full refund, else I would post up on TripAdvisor. I received no reply from the motel, nor to my follow-up email a week later. I would recommend if you have to stay at Rusty’s pay in cash as they cannot be trusted with your credit card details.

I stay here often because of work commitments, and I must say that every stay couldn't be better! The rooms are always really clean and provide everything you could need. The staff are truly the best too.. and the breakfasts.. OMGod.. WOW! Excellently cooked and presented every time. I just LOVE everything about this motel really..!

I have been here before, it has the best sunset but over time the park view has been built out. Great location, the new renovations are excellent, no tacky carpets and all crisp tiles… bathroom great, beds great… pillows perfect … all the things a bloke wants!!! I won’t mention the rate given… I will just say they deserve more for the room but market rate for Queensland is peanuts for this quality! Lots of other units are empty! Great motel, fresh and clean!!

Surprised at how well the property was. The Easter holidays unfortunately had the hotel facilities not operating at full capacity but on the whole the cleanliness and service that we received was excellent. Gladstone as a whole was a surprise packet!
