Route 66 Motor Inn

Clean room and friendly staff only downside was the AC was not operating

Only stayed 1 nights. Very comfortable especially after a long drive. Walking distance to supermarket. Very quiet stay. Typical hotel with car parked at the door. Restaurant had a good selection for a weary traveler. Everything worked. Reception was easy to deal with

Stayed 2 nights, room was clean and well provided. Room service was not great, poor attempt at making the bed. Bed was a little old and hard. Bathroom cramped. Morning traffic noise. Parking tight in places. Check in was easy when inarrived.

The motel was clean, the bedrooms are quite big and they also had a balcony. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The food in the restaurant was yummy. I would recommend this place if you are heading through Emerald or needing to visit this area

Beware of the well hidden 7 day cancellation policy.. If you don't give them a full 7 days notice, they will charge you for your entire stay. We have since removed this hotel from our corporate travel booking system after this surprise. Perhaps stay somewhere else if there is any risk your agenda might have to change.

Very nice and pleasant rooms, people and restaurants and bar. Highly recommended to all people whom are looking for a great place to stay. Good location pubs, shops, fast food, train station, library.

A great find. The motel is modern, clean and tidy. Good sized rooms, modern bathrooms. The restaurant is of a good standard and the range of meals is sufficient with a decent drinks menu. Serving three meals a day, breakfastand lunch have to be pre-ordered. The service was excellent.

I recently stayed at Route 66 Motor Inn for a business trip. On arrival, the complex itself is fairly basic and needs a bit of attention. It has an on-site restaurant, a small pool, laundry facilities and a horseshoe arrangement of 30-40+ rooms. Each room has a designated carpark outside of it with a single chair by the door. It feels very much like a workers camp. I stayed in a queen bedroom studio apartment. Opening the door, there was a musty smell however this dissipated quickly once inside. You walk straight into the "kitchen area" which comprises of a sink, 2 sets of cutlery, plates, wine glasses, glasses, cleaning equipment, toaster, kettle and 3/4 sized fridge. You do get complimentary tea and coffee, biscuits and water. This little area is tiled but the rest of the room is carpeted. It is sorta clean but not spotless. The carpets are worn, the bedspread is aging and the furniture has seen better days. They have squashed a lot of furniture into a little place. Imagine a dining table for 2 people, a desk and 2 dining chars, build in wardrobe, 2 tub chairs and the queen sized bed that is most likely a double bed, 2 bedside tables into a small 3 x 3 room - It has everything you need for a basic stay but is very tight. No way you could fit 2 people in there. In my room I had a sliding glass door at the end of the room and a window to open. All windows/doors had security screens which makes you feel "safer" in the area you are in. There is a patio but there is a big sign on the sliding door telling you to be careful because people lock themselves on their patios. Looking out at the patio - it wouldn't be a pleasant experience. It has 1 chair and not much space and is basically a place to smoke even though the compendium tells you not to smoke anywhere you can drag cigarette smoke into the unit. Outside on the patio there are some basic screens to stop the neighbour entering your unit but you can see right through them. It would be a PIA to be locked out there and climb over them though. The view is a concrete wall... I'm also thinking an inexperienced male might have done the interior decorating because they thought throw pillows would give the room a "classy appeal" so if you like little pillows - this room is for you! The bed...well the bed has seen better days. I haven't felt springs in my back like that for a few years but you can find a spot (if you are alone) to be comfortable. Pillows were nice and fluffy though! The camp site workers have spoken as there is quite a big plasma tv on the wall with austar basic channels. The microwave is a bit strange so I just pressed a few buttons and hoped for the best and my meals were cooked. It does some weird steaming function I'm not sure about. Wifi was fairly good. The bathroom was modern and thank goodness - it had no shower curtain!!!! That is a huge plus in my book. The water/shower was hot with a shower head fixed straight above your head from the ceiling, it wasn't fun keeping your hair dr
