What our guests say about their stay
Swathi chowdary Vasantha a year ago
I can't say enough about how wonderful my stay at Route 66 was! From start to finish, it exceeded all my expectations and truly deserves a 5-star rating. The room was immaculate, with modern amenities that made it feel both comfortable and cozy. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the entire space was thoughtfully designed for a relaxing stay. It was clear that cleanliness is a top priority here, and everything was spotless. What really set this motel apart, however, was the service. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive to every need. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed and were always available to offer great local recommendations. It's rare to find such personalized and outstanding service. The location was also perfect – quiet, yet conveniently close to everything. I had a truly peaceful and enjoyable stay, and I would not hesitate to Recommend Route 66 to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for such an exceptional experience – I’ll definitely be back!

Great place to stay. I think it was worth the $105 for a room. Clean rooms, kitchenette, pool, room service for meals (breakfast and lunch organised the night before), house keeping, restaraunt and a laundry. Very friendly owners. Would definatly stay again.

I recently stayed at this motel for a work trip with several colleagues, and we were there for about seven days. The location was fantastic, within walking distance to Coles, a petrol station, and a local bakery, which was very convenient. The manager was exceptionally accommodating. Although we encountered a minor issue with my colleagues' rooms, the manager and his family addressed it promptly and effectively. While I didn’t dine at the on-site restaurant, my colleagues mentioned they enjoyed their meals there. Additionally, there was a lovely couple assisting with the management who helped me with the laundry facilities when I faced some difficulties. I did notice some inconsistency with the internet connection, particularly while streaming movies, but this could have been related to my device rather than the motel's service. Overall, my room was clean upon check-in, and I appreciated having a kitchenette to prepare my meals. The provided cleaning supplies were a nice touch, although I typically bring my own sanitizing products when I travel. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed interacting with some of the local residents who provided helpful recommendations for nearby attractions. The air conditioning was also effective, keeping my room comfortably cool. I had a pleasant stay and would consider returning with my family on my next trip to Emerald. Thank you for the wonderful experience during my seven-day stay!

It's a fairly good place to spend a night. The rooms are clean and tidy, although a bit outdated and could use a bit of a touch-up.

Didn't need to see staff once! They text you a code for your room and that's the key. No checkin/checkout. Genius
