The only reason why you can’t get a good job is because you’re not in a good place

Do not stay here!! The place smells and looks dirty like it hadn’t been cleaned for years! Unfortunately I did not check the reviews before I booked on Trip. And do not even book on trip.com. Not sure how much they’re getting from all the bookings. I have no idea what the owner/manager is thinking. The kitchen is so dirty and they never wash and clean the kitchen nor their electrical appliances. They must be stupid to think that anyone could clean or cook in that dirty kitchen. Their family room was $220 with a very dirty and uncomfortable bed. They never do room service. After cleaning the pool, the owner/manager locked it! Not sure for what reason. It’s there for a reason. Also don’t trust the pics you see on google or on the internet. Looks very different .

I had a wonderful experience staying at Capricornia Motel, and I especially want to thank the manager for being so incredibly helpful and kind throughout my stay. From the moment I arrived, they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.

Good place. Hope they can serve food and drinks in the future. Close to the CBD and sea. Just take one bus to the centre. Save money and time. The staff are very nice and friendly.
