Comfort Inn on Main Hervey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"I was a late check-in & left early so was in my room for less than 12 hours but they made it really easy for me to pick up my key & I was able to drop off my key in the morning. I've stayed at a few hotels over the last few weels weeks and this had been one of my favourites, clean and a comfy bed. When I reached out with questions they were responded to fairly quickly. The only thing I was nearly caught out as I hadn't realised the reception closed at 6pm but all worked out in the end. Thank you for everyone's helpmin making my staru easy & simple."

"Main Street Motel is the perfect spot to stay in Hervey Bay! Loved the free continental breakfast option. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Would definitely return if ever back in the area."
