Stayed here for a night whilst visiting for a sporting event. Spacious room with two queen beds adequately sleeping 4. Located within the Yarella sports club, with various dining options was a bonus of not having to travel elsewhere to eat. Beds were comfy, bathroom clean and room was modern and quiet.

Some places are too good to be true, and some places are better than the too good they seem to begin with. It took me a while to get to The Sleep Factory, in several ways; being spoilt for choice for accommodation in Gladstone, and not needing to stay in any particular area, and all at good pricing. I checked the sites and The Sleep Factory came up quickly, and for good reason. I'd check others, go and come back, look at it again; it was too good to be true... I read some reviews, and there was some negative consensus, the rooms there were not as pictures, some rouse was in play to dupe and deceive? I checked Google Maps, and searched elsewhere, I had time, after all. The price was really good though, and when I came back looking at The Sleep Factory, I decided to upgrade my experience from the std motel style room to a 1 BR unit, which they advertised as having as well, and curiously, as I scrolled down the page of accommodation options, there were no shortage of them! Single rooms, Queen rooms, 1 BR units, family units, Villas of different sizes?! I checked Google Maps again, it didn't look anything special, but that's exactly what made it so good! Sitting almost submerged in tropical trees and greens, it's not easy to see exactly how big, diverse, and spaced out The Sleep Factory is, in its entirety... Once you see how large it is, and the variety of options of rooms and accommodation you have, you realise two things; The reviews are unfounded, those travellers simply have not picked the room they wanted for the room picture they saw. My 1 BR unit looked much better than the pictures would suggest - there is no subterfuge here. Secondly, it is not only a hidden gem, it's better than too good to be true. It's quiet, pet-friendly, clean, well serviced, friendly hosts, awesome internet (with Ethernet into my room!), great bedding, great bathrooms, great parking, easy access, great kitchen, space inside and outside so large; for the first time in my travels i was able to easily unpack my whole car, borrow buckets and hose to wash it. Store everything unpacked, easily in the huge unit floor space. I'm writing this review after having made my second booking to The Sleep Factory

We got there quite late at night and had no troubles getting into our rooms, which were clean and kept. The shower pressure was amazing, not something you find often while travelling, so definitely a huge bonus. The next day we met 2 staff members who were cleaning our rooms, and they stopped and had a conversation with us, and were friendly and talkative the whole time. It's great to see decent customer service is still around, keep up the amazing work !

Extremely clean throughout, comfortable bed, nice shower, tv, fridge and microwave in room. Availabilty of toaster, iron etc on request from reception. Free on site parking. Would stay again.

We were stranded by the Heron ferry on New Year's Eve and the island resort did nothing to help any of the guests. We got on our phones and were looking for a reasonably priced place to crash for the night. We got to the hotel and checked n without issue. It was super hot so we changed and headed for the pool. We were the only ones there! We asked the desk how many rooms were booked and she said like 20 only. The restaurant/bar was closed because the owner was on vacation. The town was basically dead and we felt like we were walking in the zombie apocalypses. We ended up ordering Tai for dinner and the 7 of us had the whole terrace and patio to our selves for the night. We ended up having a great time! The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. For an unexpected stay we made the best of it and have a story to tell. Not a fancy hotel, but it did the trick for us.

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..!
