Hotel Gladstone dengan Gim

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!!

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.

First off, I've been coming to Gladstone for work for the last 10 years+. And normally, I always stay at the usual, Rydges, Oaks, Mercure/ Mantra. But this time, everything was full except this place. Let me just say, from start to check in and check out, wow! Anne was wonderful with late check in instructions. The property itself, small town houses and you have the whole place to your self. Its got a full kitchen, washer (w/ 2x packets of detergent), dryer and a place to park a car. The bed was comfy, plenty of closet space, an entire balcony with table and chairs, living room with TV (foxtel and regular channels) and good wifi. I read earlier reviews and not sure what was up those peoples butts but this place is a hidden gem. Oh...and its quiet!! No traffic or drunk bogans yelling. I will be back and definitely recommend this place! I even had a stuff around with my job and had to cancel re-book....no problems no issues.

Great clean room, great price and pet friendly. I even loved the premises the trees and garden looked very tropical. The manager friendly and was being beyond helpful since staying one night I was towing my Avan Aliner as didn't want to set it up just for one night, the lady made sure I could park outside my room even by asking another occupant if they could move there car to another spot so my car and van could fit in, which he was happy to do. It was pretty quiet too and comfy bed so got a good night's sleep. I definitively recommend and would go back.
