HOTEL REVIEW – Comfort Inn Rockhampton Motel – Rockhampton


The Comfort Inn Rockhampton is not a luxurious motel, but it does provide the weary traveller or visitor to Rockhampton with a clean and very comfortable, and convenient place to stay.

The motel is located close to the centre of the city, on the corner of Albert and Alma Streets (on the Bruce Highway), and is a stone’s throw away from the Fitzroy River. It is located about 8km from the airport and is probably located in the middle of the main shopping and dining areas in North and South Rockhampton.

There are various levels of accommodation from the smaller (but still quite sizable) Standard Rooms, which feature two beds, TV with free cable TV channels, air-conditioning, and tea and coffee making facilities, to Deluxe and Spa Rooms which are slightly more roomy and also feature a CD-player, lounge, and a mini-bar.



Albert's restaurant is also on site, although most times that I have stayed at the motel, it has been closed. Breakfast is available most mornings – including a full buffet breakfast on weekends. Limited room service is also available. A coin operated laundry, as well as a pleasant pool area with a BBQ, are also available at the motel for guests to use (as shown below).


The motel has gone through some recent changes in ownership and management, and as a frequent visitor, it has been a little concerning that some minor cosmetic and maintenance issues have been appearing – for example, TVs or air-conditioning units that aren’t working properly, and shower and bathroom facilities that leak when they are used.

That said though, the rates for the levels of rooms are quite reasonable, and a little cheaper when compared to other nearby similarly rated motels. Overall, in my opinion, for a short or long stay, you won’t be disappointed by giving the Comfort Inn Rockhampton a try.
