The room is clean and suitable for small living during the driving journey. The second floor needs to carry luggage by yourself. Trip.com helps to change to the first floor. The room that started gave was a big bed and two small beds. The refrigerator freezer was broken. With Trip.com's help, it was a lot comfortable to change to a big bed room. Good value for money, clean rooms, but the surrounding is not very convenient.

From a photographer pensioner's perspective, not being able to afford high-price accommodation, the Aaron Motel in Gladstone, Queensland, made our overnight stay quite affordable. The relative ease with which one, or as many as you wish, can access the Gladstone CBD and waterfront is well worth the inconvenience of the Motel's semi-urban location. The benefit there being this location, unalike the nearby CBD, does not have the volume of noise and traffic as it's visible neighbour. Earlier bedtimes, all the rage with some oldies. If wearing rose tinted glasses, upon removal, notice you may have a, well behaved, tradie's 4wd parked next to your vehicle. Tact is all that's needed to overcome any phobia of tradies. Seriously, try striking up a conversation, maybe about their job, to' break the ice'. So much is learnt through talking. The photographer would do very well by visiting, within reasonable walking distance, the Eastern Shores Precinct after dark. Its coloured water fountain feature is a boon. The rest of the walk around the park's perimeter has many interesting angles and intensities of light. Maybe stop and watch the latest cricket match on a large screen on the grassy reserve. If, unavoidably, you fall asleep on the lawn till dawn, carry on with an early daylight re-shoot. A casual stroll to waterfront proper will realise the same satisfying results as the previous night's shoot. This time it's gulls perched on a mast top, glints of sunrise masking storm clouds, images of a yellow hulled ketch reflected in the smooth, aqua marine, surface of its host body of water. Make sure that you're shooting-away during the morning MLH, ( Magic light Hour), be there well before 8:00 a.m., after which you can expect your stately carriage to turn into a photoshop project. Don't jig around for too long, there's the CBD and all it's got to offer including the coffee. And, of course, the short walk to your unit at the Aaron for a well earned, mid-morning nanny/ poppy nap. Enjoy.

Extremely clean throughout, comfortable bed, nice shower, tv, fridge and microwave in room. Availabilty of toaster, iron etc on request from reception. Free on site parking. Would stay again.

It started off well (sarcasm). Arrived in the evening and they didn’t have my confirmed fully paid booking and told me I had the wrong place. After a conversation and then looking at their system, they found my booking email but there was no room still. Could put me up for the night, but the rest of the week would be sorted in the morning. And, it was sorted. Failed to contact me to advise though. I needed to go to reception. The staff were pleasant and I understand these things happen. My issues were with the room and housekeeping. The room stank. It wasn’t quite a mustiness or a rotten smell, kind of something in between. There was a thick layer of dust on all the wall hanging. The bathroom extraction fan was totally clogged with dust so that it didn’t actually extract anything. There was always little fruit flies buzzing about and the cockroach climbing over the TV wasn’t pleasant. The usual extra hard bed you find in hotels 😦. No instructions for the oven or dishwasher. Took a little to figure them out. In fact, no room compendium so no information about anything. Frying pan handle was snapped off and just sitting next to the pan. The furniture seemed a bit old and sitting on the sofa made my allergies flare up. As for housekeeping, in addition to never dusting anything, all they did each day was empty the trash, triangle the toilet paper and only half the time, make the bed. I had to ask for fresh towels. The towels I left on the floor for housekeeping to remove each day, stayed there the whole week. They just never took them. I don’t expect housekeeping do to the odd dishes that I had. I find most serviced apartments do, but not here, so I did them myself, but housekeeping never replaced the dishwasher detergent so dishes were done with just water 😕. I put a pizza box next to the bin for housekeeping to remove, but they didn’t. It stayed there all week, and in fact it toppled over and prevented the cupboard for the bin from closing, like full blown half ajar, not just a little crack. I left it like that the whole week wondering if housekeeping would try to see why it wasn’t closing and remove the pizza box, but didn’t happen. I won’t stay at this place again

We got there quite late at night and had no troubles getting into our rooms, which were clean and kept. The shower pressure was amazing, not something you find often while travelling, so definitely a huge bonus. The next day we met 2 staff members who were cleaning our rooms, and they stopped and had a conversation with us, and were friendly and talkative the whole time. It's great to see decent customer service is still around, keep up the amazing work !

I stay here often because of work commitments, and I must say that every stay couldn't be better! The rooms are always really clean and provide everything you could need. The staff are truly the best too.. and the breakfasts.. OMGod.. WOW! Excellently cooked and presented every time. I just LOVE everything about this motel really..!

I have been here before, it has the best sunset but over time the park view has been built out. Great location, the new renovations are excellent, no tacky carpets and all crisp tiles… bathroom great, beds great… pillows perfect … all the things a bloke wants!!! I won’t mention the rate given… I will just say they deserve more for the room but market rate for Queensland is peanuts for this quality! Lots of other units are empty! Great motel, fresh and clean!!

Surprised at how well the property was. The Easter holidays unfortunately had the hotel facilities not operating at full capacity but on the whole the cleanliness and service that we received was excellent. Gladstone as a whole was a surprise packet!
