Longreach Motor Inn

Arrived in Longreach for a short stay. Booked hotel 2 nights before departure. Prompt acknowledgement of booking and airport transfer confirmed. Cody and Amy the very new managers were most welcoming. The premises are opposite a lovely park, and the railway station. It is only a brief walk to the centre of the town. The room was comfortable and spacious. A nice touch was the air on set to a warm temperature as there was a brisk wind outside. The bathroom had a full suite of shampoo, conditioner, hand and body wash, body lotion and great shaving creme.

The new owners are fantastic. They were extremely helpful when there was an issue that was nothing to do with them or their business. I phoned them after hours and they resolved it immediately. It was their third day running the business. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They are located walking distance to numerous restaurants/ pubs. And close to the middle of town. Ample parking.

Great service from Sandra and Jim, the Managers. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Very friendly and helpful. The rooms were always clean and very tidy and all the staff very friendly and obliging. Great location with a short walk to town and food.

Really nice motel and very convenient to the train station. Our room was spacious and had recently been done up. Bed very comfortable and huge (king size). It is a short walk to the RSL or Birdcage hotel for a meal or drink, (unfortunately the onsite restaurant is not currently operating.) It's an easy walk to the town. We would happily stay here again. There is an onsite pool. There is onsite parking.

Cockroaches in room, killed 2 of them, one on my bed & the other in the bathroom. Also had 2 gecko lizards on interior wall of my room, I put them outside as they are harmless little gecko lizards. The entrance door has a gap at the bottom that would be big enough for an eastern brown snake to enter your room. Can hear noisy traffic passing through

Longreach is a major service centre for north central Queensland. The town is also an important stopping point for travellers driving in all directions. The accommodation we experienced was second rate. We had booked a Standard Queen Room and paid $197 for that room. However when we were allocated a room we were provided with a small double room at looked really tired and probably had facilities that reflected 1970's rooms - this was a disappointing stay. Reception was uninterested in ensuring we had a stay that would mean we would choose to return. We wont!

The room was very tired. Ants crawling in the seal of the fridge, stale milk from other occupants still in the fridge, basin in bathroom cracked and dirty.

Executive Queen Suite nice name but not that. Room small. No cupboard and small hanging space near microwave. Cleaning not good. Mould in shower and used dental floss from previous guest on floor in bathroom. Daily service on offer but they don't change sheets or check dispensers of hand wash, shampoo or conditioner. Way too pricey for what you get.

Highly recommend when staying in Longreach. Staff were friendly and accommodating. We were very thankful for the shuttle service to the various attractions and also back to airport at the conclusion of our stay. They are conveniently located near Longreach Station which we found a bonus as we traveled there on the Spirit of the Outback train and were able to walk to the hotel. Harry’s Restaurant was fantastic. In particular, I loved duck meal. Went twice and both nights were great.
