Handy to town centre, lovely setup. Shame the restaurant/ cafe wasnt open. That would have made it a perfect place to stay. Such a nice area around the pool to have a coffee.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
There were men’s underwear, a container of half eaten food in the fridge, and an old, moldy milk bottle still in our room. The room was ‘serviced’ but only one of two bins emptied and no spare toilet paper was provided for a 4 night stay for 5ppl. Room servicing wasn’t done on Christmas and Boxing Day which is fare enough but that meant we were caught short on loo paper! The fifth persons bed wasn’t made even though paid for. Using the pool was met with glares from the manager...as though it was a private pool. Shame as the motel itself is nice enough but we won’t stay again.

Hi, I'm sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us. I understand your fridge was missed on that mornings depart. My apologies, I did offer to come and clean it out for you myself. The pull out bed was made up, but left away to maximise space. It only needed to be folded out and a blanket (in cupboard) placed on top. I would have been happy to fold it out for you, had you have asked. In regards to the pool, it is there for our guests enjoyment. Managements concern was in regards to the umbrella tipping over into the pool, as you were insistent on putting them up and moving them to the edge of the pool even though it was explained to you they had a tendency to tip in windy conditions. I'm sorry you fell short of toilet paper, but it was supplied immediately once asked for.

Nice place to stay and dine
Friendly, cheerful and helpful hosts. Rooms a good size and catered to our needs for a 1 night stay. Parking under cover right outside our door. A geat restaurant on the premises with great food. The seafood chowder was excellent and servings are extremely generous. Free guest laundry available and soap powder also free. Whilst a clothes dryer is free for use there is also a clothesline with pegs.

Average stay
Staff were really friendly and helpful and made the stay comfortable. There are no facilities for bringing or buying your own food. I had to spread peanut butter with a spoon onto bread for my toddler as we didn't get our room service slip in when we got there. The room was a little smaller than I was expecting but did for the 2 nights we were there. We did try to spend a little time at the little tables outside our room but there was a strong smell of smoke from a guest further down that was smoking outside her door. Overall we had a comfortable and good stay.

Response from Bevan & Per on 20 Dec 2017
Thank you for your review. We are pleased you found our staff to be friendly and helpful, and found great use in the pool over the hot days, and your stay overall to be a comfortable one. In regards to the other comments, had you raised your concerns with us during your stay we could have instantly resolved all of your concerns. Regarding food options, all of our rooms do have fridges for food to be bought on to the property, we do not have kitchens in the rooms as we have an on-site Restaurant. It clearly notes in our listing we have Refrigerator, Tea / Coffee Making, Electric Kettle & Room Service. Should a guest require a Microwave or Toaster we are more than happy to supply this along with the crockery / cutlery needed, you just need to ask us at Reception. We do not advertise kitchens, nor have kitchens displayed in our photos. Regarding the room size, our rooms are bigger than most in Chinchilla, and have the added space of a separate walk in wardrobe so that your suit cases and clothes can be kept out of the main room itself, avoiding clutter. We do have designated smoking areas at the property, with the bulk of the property being smoke free. Regards The Team at The Palms
