Friendly and welcoming staff, the bedroom was clean with fresh linens and towels. The location was convenient with a beautiful river view..It is a kid-friendly place ... Just what we needed for a short family get away.
Stayed at the Kingsford Inn and honestly… I’m considering moving in permanently. From the moment I walked in, I felt like royalty, if royalty also appreciates a comfy bed, strong air con, and not having to assemble furniture themselves. The room was spotless, the bed was so good I briefly considered missing checkout (and possibly my job), and the pillows? Let’s just say I’m still thinking about them. The location is elite close enough to everything, but far enough away that you don’t hear every Uber Eats driver in Brisbane announcing their arrival. Staff were legends too friendly, helpful, and didn’t judge me for asking where the nearest late-night snacks were… twice. Bonus points: the shower had actual water pressure. Not that sad drizzle that makes you question your life choices
My advice is don't - just don't. Like other guests, we were appalled. The photos provided by the other reviewers of the "en suite" in the downstairs room does not do it justice. 900mm sq toilet space which shared a glass door with the shower was the worst hygiene space that I have ever seen. No water pressure or heat for the shower - it just dribbled out so no showers for 2 days. I've had better showers with a bucket of cold water standing in a cow paddock. The TV had absolutely no signal, cockroaches crawled under the door, the single bed appeared to be broken on one side so it felt like I was sleeping on a slope, the bath towels had some kind of chemical stains on them, the shower door was broken and would not slide therefore water went everywhere, the "vanity" basin is a small laundry tub. The room appears to be an "add on" and I doubt it meets building standards.
You get what you pay for, nothing flashy just simple, fair hotel. The beds were clean and comfortable, the family room is cosy but not cramped, the service was great and the location was convenient. However there was an awful smell from the blanket cupboard and the shared bathroom for a single floor was fine , I see how it could become irritating. Many of the other reviews are a little whiny considering the price, but the carpet is a bit dirty nothing to fret over. Simple Bare bones hotel fairly price with stingy reviews. We did not get Staph infections, see cockroaches and there were no stained sheets.
Felt lucky to find a pet friendly motel room. Only one room available which is on the ground floor in the garage. Staff were friendly and helpful. Parking is very limited on site and there is no parking on road outside. Overall there are things that could be improved. My suggestions to make it a more comfortable stay would be to have shorter curtains so they are not on the floor. We could smell that previous visitors pets must have wet somewhere in the room. Have beds that don't touch the ground. Replacement of the single bed is needed. Shower head needs fixing. Only a small amount of water comes out. TV reception is not good it needs a better connection. The room has everything else you need. Liked that the room had a toilet and shower however it was very strange set up. Other rooms in the motel have shared bathrooms.
