Emerald Central Palms Motel
9.1 (47 reviews)

Emerald Central Palms Motel ★★★★

📍 19 Esmond St, Emerald

"After a very long 10 hour drive with 2 kids, I managed to book this great little Motel after a quick Google search by my son who liked the pics about 30min out. Hot tip, book online and don’t go through the booking bot. That was very frustrating. I seriously thought the bed I slept in was the most comfortable and have ever experienced-I highly recommend."

Capella Coach Inn Hotels in Emerald

Capella Coach Inn

"Capella Coach Inn was the perfect stay for our large family group – 15 rooms – for our son’s wedding on his wife’s family’s farm. Our group stayed for up to four nights and everyone was very happy with their rooms. A huge thankyou to Kim, and also Chelsea, for your patience over the phone, over many months, and finally in person to organise the most suitable rooms to meet our guests’ different needs. For those with some mobility issues, Kym ensured they had walk-in showers and ground floor rooms while other guests enjoyed the very large baths. The spacious rooms were very clean. Our large group also enjoyed the free continental breakfasts in the communal dining room and the chance to catch up in an air-conditioned space during the very warm days. And it was a short stroll to the Capella Hotel."

Rubyvale Motel & Holiday Units Hotels in Emerald

Rubyvale Motel & Holiday Units

"We did a girls trip (4 of us) and booked a unit and a motel room right next door for a 4 night stay. The location was superb - just a short walk to Rubyvale town with cafes, hotel and grocery store. The unit was fully equipped so we did a mixture of cooking and eating out. Set amongst nature we were visited every day by a beautiful friendly wallaby complete with a Joey. We did the on-site observatory experience one night and it was well worth it - Michael is so knowledgeable about our solar system and the telescope did not let us down with such clear views of the planets, stars etc We had terrific hosts with Michael and Jane and we highly recommend their place."

Emerald Explorers Inn Hotels in Emerald

Emerald Explorers Inn

"My wife and I have been on a road trip for the past 19 days, travelling from the Gold Coast to Port Douglas, then inland to Longreach, and are now heading home. This hotel was the worst served we have stayed in. Came home the second day, and our room was not serviced at all. The bed was not made, and the towels were still on the bathroom floor. Lack of care on the owner's part. I wish we had stayed somewhere else, but most were booked. Avoid if possible. PS, if you do stay there, use your own mobile data as the hotel's wi-fi is crap."

A&A Lodge Motel ★★★
"Honest motel for the tariff. Clean and surprisingly quiet. Could have heard a pin drop all night. Doggies welcome. Close to everything in town. We walked up two blocks for Chinese food. Bed was on the firm side but not uncomfortable. We’d stay there again."

Emerald Central Hotel Official ★★★
"Not too impressed. Check-in was easy and friendly, but the place is aged, tatty and overdue for some love - or a big renovation. Pool and restaurant were out of order, though it was located close to places in town to find a meal or breakfast. Our room was passable but we heard every word of our loud neighbour through the thin connecting door, and every move of someone else upstairs. Bed was sagged in the middle and no extra pillows were available either. Bedside tables were absent and there was only harsh fluoro lighting. And the kettle wouldn’t fit under the sink spout to fill it. Not going back there."

"We were very happy with our stay, the double room, that was quiet, with a nice spa made for a very comfortable stay. Location wise it’s also great with a great Tavern a 5 minute walk away. Should we need to come to Emerald again, we will stay here."
