True Blue Motor Inn
Casa Nostra Motel
An excellent place to stay. The individual villa units are very spacious and comfortable. The amenities are excellent (although the was only the one fork in the cutlery drawer). We have stayed at Casa Nostra previously and would be happy to stay again.

Empire Apartment Hotel
Perfect for two friends for a long weekend in Rockhampton. Clean, tidy and serviced daily. The only criticisms I have are that there are no placemats for the glass table, and the cutlery drawer is right at the bottom. Very hard to reach.
