Caloundra Motels

I stayed at the Golden Beach motor inn with my elderly father while visiting the area. I was met at reception by the very friendly hostess Desleigh who explained details of the accommodations and the area and was very helpful. Our room was spotlessly clean. It was upstairs and had a double bed and a single bed. There was a fridge, tea and coffee provisions and a tv. The bathroom was modern and equipped with soap and shampoo. The room was air conditioned. There is a swimming pool and undercover parking. Then motel was fully booked the night we stayed, but it was quiet and we slept really well. Its a short walk to downtown Caloundra, where there are lots of restaurants. There is an Aldi and a pub a very short distance away, and a Woolworths and bottle shop slightly further (but still walking distance). This is a basic motel, not a 5 star resort, but if you set you expectations accordingly we found it a great place to stay. I recommend it and really enjoyed staying there.

The room was badly presented upon my arrival. There was a used tissue and other rubbish under the bed, the ceiling fan and bathroom exhaust fans were very dusty, the tub chairs (advertised as a sofa) were worn out and uncomfortable with fabric covers over them which were wrinkled and poorly fitted. The cleaning under and around them also looked like it had not been carried out for quite some time, just like under the bed. The glass turntable of the microwave was not wiped clean before my arrival either. Next morning, after my pleasant walk around town and around the foreshore, I met up with the cleaning / management staff. The lady, was my contact person upon booking. She was apologetic when I mentioned my dissatisfaction about the cleaning, however the male cleaner / staff member who was helping her, was quite rude and confronting, and stated that they only clean under the beds once a month. I had paid for Two nights accommodation with the option for extending if the weather was bad (as I was riding my motor bike) After the above issues, I decided to move out early, forfeit my extra day, and found alternative accommodation. I would NOT recommend the City Centre Motel in Caloundra to anyone and suggest that the Male Cleaner (or whatever he is) requires a lot of training in Customer Relations and in how to Properly Clean a Motel Room.

I ordered a lunch pick up today and received great customer service from Brad. It was ready in only 15 minutes. My order was ready as soon as I got there and I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken Caesar salad. Definitely recommended for a quick lunch.

Booked on last minute and couldnt be happier. Was a bit worried when i first arrived but as soon as i checked I knew i had made the right decision. Room was clean and pool was really nice to go in at end of a hot day. Would stay here again ...........

The place was clean. Street parking was the only drawback

The hotel has a children's playground, swimming pool, and water park. Very suitable for playing with children. The opposite is WWS, so it's easy to shop. Booked a two-bedroom room, one without air-conditioning, a little hot in summer

Hotel location is good, very close to the beach. Parking is also very convenient. The interior of the room is fully equipped and the layout is reasonable. You can sit on the balcony to see the sea.

Just to make it clear, prior to my stay I’d hade two calls from the property to say that the pool would be closed for building works. That wasn’t a problem as my trip was for business What I wasn’t warned about was getting to my room. Access to the room on the ‘boardwalk’ was via two basement car parks – down a lift thru a car park, up a lift, thru another car park, then up another lift (truly). Fortunately Arrived at 5.50pm to find reception closed – information said open until 6pm. Next day I was locked out of my room as I hadn’t provided my details. Room was well equipped and comfortable but had more instructions than you’d get at an AirBnB run by an obsessive owner. It also listed that Wi-Fi had to be paid for – although I did later find information on access.

I went for a short getaway with my mother to ULTIQA Shearwater. We were met with friendly staff at the hotel who were extremely accomodating by ringing us when our room was ready so we could check in earlier. This was greatly appreciated. We requested an ocean view room in advance and our request was met. We were on level 6 in what looked like a newly refurbished room. The room was clean and comfortable with an outstanding view!! The breakfast included is only a small amount of options but I think the meals it’s self are generous and had a good range. We really enjoyed our stay and would come again. . The staff were wonderful, the room was great and the location was outstanding.

Great beach facing apartment. Well equipped kitchen which included an oven, microwave, cook top, dishwasher and frig. All 3 bedrooms could be converted to a king bed. Daily light service where they topped up supplies and made beds and changed towels. Free muffins and tea/perc coffee in bar area each morning. Jacuzzi was lovely although it could be overtaken by small children/toddlers at times.
