Overall Ratings & Reviews Cooktown Motel

Needs upgrade generally but even a little thing like the security chain on our door was hanging from one nail. Paint peeling from walls. Staff (Sue) was very nice but overall the place needs doing up

It's certainly a budget motel but the caretakers are lovely people. No toilet in the room I had so it was a communal amenities block which wasn't a problem. The pool looked really great but I didn't have a dip in it. The camp kitchen was the winner for me.

WONDERFUL

Ok a little noicy probably because of the wind

Good location but needs TLC

Friendly stuff overall, it’s okay

It was very nice

The best thing about this property is the people. Everyone I met was helpful, and the proprietor went out of her way to meet my needs. The property is undergoing some renovation following floods, but was able to provide a good quality bed, and better extras than I got in city properties.

Very run down, poor bedding linen

Great communication with the staff. Simple and effective accommodation

Older style motel. Great for short stay. Needs some maintenance but is being slowly renovated. Friendly staff. One problem was attended to immediately.

I will bite my tongue

Friendly checkin, gardens lush, close to town.

Basic, old, but clean. Beautiful gardens,

Over all the property was good. The bed I slept in was hard and you could feel the springs. When I woke I had a sore back and pressure points specially my hips.

Good stay for us. Value for money. Very pleasant and helpful manager.

Not safe for motorbike travellers. I wouldn’t leave my bike park in that car park. Unless I was close to it the beds. I can feel every spring when I sat on it. I walked out, did not stay found another place.

Motel was fine, albeit a bit of a walk to Town

Staff were great. A couple of things needed some maintenance.

Location is fine with easy parking. But did anybody clean the room? See hairs and dust on bed sheets and side table. I know it's tropical, but so many ants walking around. It comes in everywhere. WiFi does now work in ensuite room at all. Good for one night just to sleep and leave.
