The owner is a lovely person. He helps in any way.
VERY spacious rooms for a motel, water pressure and temperature average if you want to get really picky.
Close to heart of rockhampton servo right next door with aldi across the road. Alot of things to do and see very close with convenience of uber, door dash ect of local vendors overall well priced i would gladly stay again.
The motel is old and doesn’t seem to have been renovated in a long while. On arrival, the room was not cleaned very well. A lot of dust on the bed heads. Cracked bedside lamps, with one broken light bulb. There was hair on the sink and shelf above the sink. The shower curtain had mould on it. The shower head was very old and did not disperse water evenly. The hot water took a long time to flow through.
The room’s kettle was old and had scale buildup. The iron in the room was dirty and put black stains on the shirt that was ironed. The ironing board cover had stains on it.
The gentleman at reception was very friendly and polite though. If the rooms were cleaned properly and updated a little, it would have been much better.
At first arrival we were happy with how everything looked. We didn’t have overly high expectations for the price. Unfortunately the cleanliness let it down. We have stayed in many budget motels traveling around the country and even though they were a cheaper price they were generally pretty clean. One of the beds had obviously not been checked or changed as there was clothing tags that had been left under the sheets. The plates looked like they had been scraped off and put back without washing and one of the wash clothes had definitively been used and not changed :( Maybe we just happened to stay on a bad day? We were only there for a quick stop between long drives but sadly we will not be using this motel again. The skipped hygiene was a put off.
Helpful and friendly staff, laundry on site, undercover parking at your door. Well equipped self contained unit with lots of bench space, good to have full size fridge Which we could stay longer
Quiet position. Easy check in. Bathroom was extremely clean. Lots of space, dining table and chairs. Large fridge freezer. The sofa and Chair needed upholstering. The bed and pillows were lumpy and old.
After a very long drive up the Queensland coast, this lovely little motel was a comfortable place to sleep for one night. It was simple, but very cosy accommodation, with retro charm. The gentleman in the reception was very friendly and helpful. I recommend the Golden Fountain Motel to anyone who is looking for a clean, cosy and safe place to stay while on the road.
