We had no where else to stay as we were exhausted from driving. Would absolutely not recommend unless desperate, as we were. ##### Nancy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel 12 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was simple & convenient & close for our overstay needs , the owners were helpful and it was quiet and felt safe. Still would be good to have better locks on the door . I suggest a dead lock or chain lock as only had the door knob style handles. ##### Rachel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cassandra 1 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Welcoming staff, room was nice and clean.

Manager expressed she was there to help but was openly hostile when approached for shampoo & conditioner. Never responded to an enquiry about whether there was an iron available (we were in town for a funeral) probably the most run-down place I’ve ever stayed.

From the moment you drive up to the place with it's delapidated signs and potholed drive, disinterested check-in staff and dated rooms it doesn't inspire confidence. The only plus was that it was clean inside the room - but the bed was old with worn sheets, useless pillows and the whole place left you feeling tacky. Definitely not worth the money to stay here. ##### J E Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Anne-Maree 15 May 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Shower was not clean. No toaster or spoons to make tea. Facilities are tired and could use a refresh. ##### Anne-Maree Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Adrian 9 Aug 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had booked into the black marlin motel and paid online for the room but was emailed two days before we were due to arrive that my booking had been cancelled. When I rang to get a reason for the cancellation was told it was Wotif\`s fault for double booking, and it happens often ,they owned another motel (the Innisfail City Motel) and we would have to go there. We were unhappy having to stay at a motel we did not chose. ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Amanda 4 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities Our room was more of a compartment. Definitely wouldn't sleep 3 comfortably. Gap under the door. A/C takes ages to kick in. Bathroom barely big enough to turn around in. Bed very firm and small. No extra pillows. Items like tissues, bathroom bin, more than one small soap and some bench space would be appreciated. Reception was friendly enough. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023
