Excellent 3 night stay. Very comfortable beds, great amenities. Equivalent to a 4 star hotel room. Will stay again if I'm ever in Rocky. Highly recommend you check this place out.

You don’t expect the Taj Mahal but rooms need updating although rooms are very clean. I would suggest that it would be okay for overnight only not staying for a time. It’s right on main highway and gets quite noisy especially trucks driving through. Would have been nice before booking to be told that service is not provided on weekends as well as no breakfast.

Great stay
The Stirling was great. Comfy bed, small room but we didn't need anything more for just one night. Great location right near the highway and not too far to walk to the city area (about 2km), and we loved the walk in the moonlight.

We have stayed in this motel a number of times and this visit will be our last. By comparison, it is more expensive than alternatives. We chose the Stirling because of its location close to town and access to the highway, always appreciating its restaurant. The Restaurant is closed! The breakfast offering was very limited. The TV in our room badly needs replacing. Liquid soaps are in the shower and the hand basin, The shower was empty, the basin left streaks over the bench as it leaked. The basin itself is chipped and damaged, grout missing in the shower. Makings for tea and coffee, wine and water glasses but no plates, bowls or cutlery. Generally not what we were used to at this motel and not worth the extra money. Hopefully the new managers can turn it around and return it to its past glory.

Can’t book again next year and since it’s a popular time in Rocky we have had to book elsewhere. Not happy about that as we have stayed here for 3 years now. You have lost at least our business plus 8 others I spoke to.

Restaurant closed as they didn’t have a chef. I had a room with a spa, could get it to work, as at reception the next morning and was told that they had disconnected them all as they were having lots of problems with them, it’s called maintenance… No apologies from the receptionist or discount for the above. I stay in Rockhampton quite a bit with work, but I won’t be staying here anymore as the place has been in a gradual decline over the past 12 months.

The manager (Ange?) was fantastic. We broke down on the highway south of Rockhampton and arrived quite late. Apart from being a most accommodating host in terms of flexibility due to floods she made sure we were fed at a late hour. Nothing seemed too much trouble for everyone at the motel. Highly recommend!!
