Hotels near RG Tanna Coal Terminal, Gladstone

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!!

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 the 2 room apartment. I cannot fault the room at all. Very clean, new and homely and management were lovely The only negative was the wifi even though we were given the password would not work for us we were there for a week and the mosquitos...Lord knows how they were getting in but we got smashed during the night in bed every night. No fly spray in the rooms, that would have been handy. Gladstone itself is not great and out views were pretty much refineries and smelts on the water. But this accommodation was just right really. Handy location near shopping centres etc,. The rooms can be serviced but they charge you extra for that and the car space was quite small.

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 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 !

Great location across the road from railway station and walking distance to Woolworths’s, restaurants and shops. Staff are friendly and meals are good inside the hotel. The rooms are good but do need updating there was issues with hot water to some rooms while we were there, fly screens all need replacing on the windows. It’s great they supply breakfast cereals in room and have washing machine & dryer for guests to use. It can get a little loud some nights rooms are right near entrance. It’s think the grounds need a little more love there was lots of rubbish around in the gardens. Over all it’s cheap budget accommodation nothing fancy.
