Comfort Inn Parklands Calliope

Very average motel with some strange construction features. The shower has a step up of about 200 mm , slippery tiles and nothing to hold on to. An accident waiting to happen. The aircon is in one corner over one bed freezing one person . The biggest complaint was the “restaurant “ . Just a help yourself buffet very little choice and poor quality, the worst food i had on my whole trip. A walk down the road to McDonald would have been better and I don’t like Maccas

This "motel" appears to be a converted Nursing Home not a purpose built motel. Im not yet old enough to be staying in a Residential Aged Care Facility.

Stayed here overnight. A stop over while travelling through to Brisbane. Lovely clean cottage/cabin. Light and airy inside. Bathroom is clean with an oversized shower with plenty of hot water. Will stay again!

Booked this motel for an overnight stopover but it was not what we expected. Our room was in the main building (There are numerous cabins outside that appeared more modern.) As soon as we walked in, it reminded my wife of hospitals she had worked in and reminded us both of aged care facilities (nursing homes) that family members had lived in. The room had an impractical layout for a motel. There was no shelf or bench space in the bathroom. The vanity basin was just a basin. The only towel rail was above the toilet cistern. So had to keep our toiletries on the dresser within stand-alone wardrobe in the room. There was a lamp on my beside table but no power point so we asked for an extension lead. There were no drinking glasses or wineglasses so I went to reception. I was told to go to the kitchen, where a staff member found some glasses and offered to put them through the dishwasher because they were dusty. I took them and we rinsed them ourselves in the room. Contrary to the marketing, dining is not in a restaurant. It would be best described as a Dining Hall. It’s a semi-permanent white marquee structure with a bare concrete floor. The only dinner option was a $29 buffet that included roast meat and veggies, a sweet & sour & rice, potato bake, and a number of pre-made desserts. There was a bar selling beer but not wine. They allowed us to bring our own. The motel car park was a wide open gravelled area - it would be impossible to wheel your luggage over this surface. The receptionist suggested a back entrance where I could temporarily park, while unloading our luggage. This entrance takes you through an unkept, untidy courtyard-type area but this was definitely the easiest way to go. The website does not paint an accurate picture of this motel. We won’t come again.

Couldn’t fault anything, we stayed in one of the self contained little cabins. The staff are friendly even the grounds keeper. Would definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

Stayed in a cabin, very clean beautiful bed well maintained excellent facilities

Great place, a little noisy early in the morning at 5am due to contractors having breakfast in the cafeteria near our room. But overall a pleasant stay

Lovely place to stay. Rooms clean and big. I was made very welcome. Not far off the highway and close to take away food outlets. I didn't use their restaurant but it was there if I wanted. Very handy and great place to rest up . Quite so able to get a good night's sleep.

Excellent and inexpensive buffet dinner, plenty of easy and accessible parking spaces, friendly and helpful staff. Would stay again.
