Although check-in was a little confusing you went to one of the bars and the barmaid checked you in. The units were in a separate building from the hotel and the hotel itself made no impact on the quietness or accommodation. I would stay there any time I was passing thru Sarina rather than going on to Mackay, 9 out of 10 for a motel type accommodation.
