Reviews for Motel 98

Review 1：The restaurant prices were ridiculously expensive, which was unexpected for a restaurant connected to a motel, when there are other boutique apartment and hotels in this area. The food was tasty, but I had a meal the following day at a pub down the road (400g steak at both) where the quality was equally good and a third of the price. $4.50 for a can of soft drink is an example of this.

Review 2：The staff were excellent - polite and helpful. Room was clean.

Review 3：How is it that when they provide cooking facilities (basic be it) they expect you to wash up in the bathroom basin??? a small sink would not go amiss.

Review 4：Seemed good value for money. Booked online whilst travelling around. You pays your money…

Review 5：We got great value for money and the room was nice and quiet. We had a two course dinner at the resturant which was amazing. The wait staff were very efficient.

Review 6：The walls were paper thin I heard everything in the room next door to me. It was as if they were in my room. All I wanted was a good night sleep, which I didn't get. ill never stay there again

Review 7：The room looked modern

Review 8：All in all it was alright, but compared to other hotels we've visited during our 4-week-trip through Australia, it was the second most expensive, but definitely not one of the best we have seen. So in my opinion totally overpriced.

Review 9：As a solo traveller made very welcome and made sure I had everything I needed. Chose to have dinner in the restaurant and the staff could not have been more attentive, friendly and helpful.

Review 10：2/3 times had room service 2/3

Review 11：Friendly staff, comfortable room. Overall the room pricing was great and at great price. Been there 3 times in last month.

Review 12：Dated decor in Restaurant . Stunning river aspect and your all sitting down the back on top of the kitchen . Service only ok

Review 13：Garden aspect from the room , modern decor , great location , restaurant onsite .

Review 14：pool needed a clean on the surface bugs and insects on the surface of the water.Got to expect that in queensland though.Maybe leave a scoop beside the pool.Otherwise no issues.

Review 15：location is very good clean and tidy very quite for the location

Review 16：Could not cook a wagyu steak. Eat somewhere else. Staff were not helpful, did not know details about special change in hours set for holiday period. Provided conflicting information. As a result breakfast was provided late (we left before it arrived)

Review 26：Unfortunately the relaxing ended when a netball (I believe) troupe of young girls (10-15yr oldsish) rolled in and were yelling and carrying on a bit into the night. Not the fault of the Motel staff however did make sleep a bit yuck.

Review 27：Value for money was spot on, great location and the bed was really comfortable. Nice to have a few drinks next to the pool and the staff let us have a late checkout. Recommend Restaurant 98 as well Impeccable food and really well priced.
