to get started.

Breakfast was beyond awesome...service and comfort were perfect

Rszatmari, Australia

Owner was very friendly and receptive to our feedback. Clean. Omelet for breakfast was tasty. Ask for a room with a newer mattress to get one that you can sleep on without causing injury to your back.

Andrea, United States of America

The room was clean, bed comfortable and room service was available.

Anonymous, United States of America

Lady at front reception was very pleasant and friendly

Debra, Australia

Recently renovated, modern rooms, new (and quite!) air conditioning, extremely comfortable bed. Received a lovely reception on arrival.

Jonny, Australia

The location convenient for the reason for our visit. Comfortable and great staff support

Janette, Australia

The location of the Blue Shades Motel was excellent. Right near one of the local hotels. Close enough to town if you have a car. The room itself was sufficient for our brief stay. The air conditioner was excellent. Everything was clean and we would definitely chose Blue Shades Motel if we travel back to Maryborough.

Darren, Australia

Friendly staff. Dinner was served via room service, steaks were amazing. Cooked perfectly. Room was comfy and facilities were great.

Jodi, Australia

All was very good - suitable to our stay/ in a fantastic situation.

Fay, Australia

Undercover parking, very clean, pleasant owners, quiet room and very nice meal at the restaurant
