Ideal location to walk into the centre of town

We booked a room for two nights on our week long road trip from Brisbane to Airlie Beach. The room was exactly what we expected and ideal for two nights, which enabled us to explore the area. The free breakfast at this hotel was an added bonus and the hotel was very convenient to walk into the centre of town.

ANNABEL, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Colonial Palm Motor Inn is a basic amenities property but clean and well maintained. It's bare bones but comfortable. If you need a good night's sleep a little walk away from the party center of town, with really nice views - this is a really good option but don't expect too much in terms of luxury. It's not backpacker level either - just a clean, well tended basic motel suitable for a family holiday.
