“Beautiful Motel to stay at. Very modern & great managers Walking distance to town Very spacious room Good Wi-Fi Good parking in front of the rooms Great BBQ area & pool if needed”
“Amazing! Clean & comfortable. Undercover parking. Great laundry facilities- thank you, thank you, thank you. Friendly and welcoming. Best sleep so far on our road trip!”
“Great service. Gave us a lift to town. Said hi down the street the next day and had great new mattress. Really pleasant stay.”
“Had a great stay at the Marino Hotel in St George. The rooms have been nicely updated, very clean and comfortable, and the beds made for a great night’s sleep. I also had dinner there tonight and it was absolutely spot on. I ordered the steak and it came out cooked perfectly with great flavour. The meal was generous with crispy chips, fresh salad and gravy on the side – simple pub food done properly and bloody awesome. Great food, comfortable rooms and friendly service. If you’re staying in St George or just passing through, I’d definitely recommend stopping in.”
“OMG, from the moment we arrived we were greeted from the owner. Extremely friendly and a world of knowledge about the area and best place to eat given hotel restaurant only opens on weekdays. Undercover safe Motorbike parking for our Harley’s which brought a smile to our face. Extremely clean updated rooms and new beds, towels very soft. Thanks for a great stay and motel is a credit to you.”
“Fantastic motel with a quality restaurant onsite. The restaurant has been renovated and presents very well, with excellent food to match. Jono goes out of his way to make sure every stay is first class. The rooms are clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and large TVs. Overall, a very well-run motel with genuine attention to guest experience.”
“Best stay I’ve had in a long time, rooms are so clean and comfortable, quiet and the beds are excellent! Service was excellent and off street parking for smaller trucks or cars with trailers. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area!”
