Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The attitude and rudeness of the reception lady was terrible . Carpet looks likes it’s never been cleaned - stains everywhere AC didn’t work and was filthy TV didn’t work Bed was also quite disgusting. I left early it was so bad and the receptionist still charged me. $220 per night is an absolute rip off. Don’t stay there - would have been better sleeping in my car.

Best in Emerald

This is the only place I will stay in Emerald. Reasonably priced pet friendly accommodation close to town. Whether you have a pet or not I doubt you’d find a more comfortable place. With super friendly and accommodating staff
