We stayed at the Gladstone for a week whilst visiting family. Ideal location, spotlessly clean, rooms serviced daily. Has a really nice homely feel to the property, with all the comforts of home in the rooms. Would highly recommend, and will definitely stay again on our next trip.

Strong smell of vape greeted me when entering the room. I couldn't fault the cleanliness but the signs promoting 50+ sky channels were a tad misreading when the "good" channels (movies etc) were excluded. Having to redo the wifi sign up process every day was a bit of a pain. Very comfortable bed with a great bathroom.

4 night stay

We had a lovely, exceptionally clean unit on the ground floor. It wasn't air conditioned as advertised on hotels.com but the lovely owner got us an extra fan which helped. Very comfortable bed. Has a little kitchen We were able to cook breakfast each morning and even put together a simple dinner one night. Would highly recommend this motel
