Enjoyable stay at the Tramway. Staff were great very easy to arrange our late arrival and super friendly. room was good just a standard motel room but great water pressure in the shower and good Aircon which is a must for a North QLD Summer stay.

The lady was so arrogant. I booked online and she says nope and left 2 kids and i woth no where to stay and wouldnt give my money back. Absolutely appalling. Someone so arrogant should not be allowed to work with people. Like agressive dogs muzzle it.

Clean and comfortable and well suited to an overnight stay in transit. A little noisy being next to the highway and train line but manageable.

Basic, no frills highway motel. Our room at the rear was very quiet. The room was clean, with frig, hospitality tray, comfortable bed, good bathroom. Blinds did not block the outdoor lighting.

Greeted very rudely and told Expedia was banned. Offered to leave after full refund and she then gave us a room key. Not pleasant.
On the plus side, it was clean. Coffee etc. Bed was comfortable.
Very loud at night with sugar cane trains all night plus trucks on highway.
This is my very first negative review and I am sad to post this. I would not recommend this motel. There are others in the town further from the train tracks and hopefully kinder staff.

Unfortunately each room had a strange odour, unit 1 the TV did not function, we were then transferred to unit 9 same odour and TV problem, the owner did attempt to satisfy our needs and was very attentive, we decided to move on to another motel. Pet Friendly Motels we will avoid at all costs in the future!
