A fresh clean and quality accommodation welcomed after a long day on the road. Good meal in the restaurant too. Impressed with the kitchen facilities even though we didn't utilise them. Locality close to town centre but seemed to be a reasonably quiet area.

I travel to Emerald regularly for work & whilst I have tried a few motels, I always come back to this one. Being a female, some of the other motels are a bit raucous with the mining population, but the miners that stay here seem to all know & respect the staff, so it hasn't been an issue.They always remember...

Upon visiting the Route 66 Motor Inn I was pleasantly surprised! I wasn’t expecting very much in a small mining town but was delighted to see my room was nicely decorated and had a cute little private outdoor area. The dinner we ate in the restaurant was worthy of an up-market city restaurant and the pool and powerful air-conditioning were... More

This is a convenient place to stay if you are in Emerald. Stayed in a patio room with my wife, our room was clean, comfortable and a good size. The staff were pleasant, bed was soft and the food was good (and the servings BIG), so no complaints here!

I stayed at this motel for 5 nights while in Emerald for work and found it very convenient, there was plenty of parking and it was easy to find from the highway. The town center (including a pub) was walking distance which was a bonus. The room was a good size, the shower was nice and hot and there was... More

I stayed here for business. Full of tradesmen working in the mines. Total full house. Room service very quick but poor quality. Location central but stay away from the highway Very clean, efficient but not cheap....an average but modern motel

Route 66 is fairly new so the rooms are quite nice. I stayed in a deluxe queen which had a descent sized fridge, microwave and kitchen sink. Rooms were a good size. The complex has a restaurant, which I did not try and a small pool. Situated fairly close to town.

Our stay was very pleasent, but the only problems we had with it was it was near a highway and you got some of the noises of the traffic going past. Also the rooms were a little bit crowded. We did call over the phone for a reservation and we asked for a quote. We realised when we paid we... More

One of the best in Emerald. Train noise is a little annoying in the middle night. Many early risers with beeping reverse sounds from 4am. But it is a mining town. Food is excellent as always.

I regularly stay here for work whilst conducting business in Emerald or Springsure. I find the staff helpful and very keen to make your stay quite comfortable. It is one of the newer Motels in Emerald but booking is a must. The only downside is the train noise and noisy miners leaving for work in the morning. Some also think... More
