I always book the Blackrock for work and have never been disappointed. The staff are always friendly and housekeeping do a great job of maintaining the rooms. The laundry area is great to have on hand as well.

Tidy complex, centrally located, large clean room.
The Black Rock Inn was very easy to find. It’s a large complex with plenty of onsite parking. Our room was large and clean. We had a good size fridge which was appreciated, as well as a kitchen sink and microwave. We had a small balcony, nice to sit out on in the evening. The motel manager was very friendly and accommodating. We used the onsite restaurant one night of our stay - great food and service.

We had an excellent stay at Black Rock Inn. The staff was super friendly, very warm welcome 😊. The size of the 2 bedroom appartement was bigger than expected. It was clean and tidy. Excellent location to visit Blackdown Tablelands, which was beautiful.

The room was good but the Ac was off in the room and with the ridiculously hot weather the room took 2 hrs to cool down and the bed was that hot it was uncomfortable.

arrived & waited at reception for a good five minutes (which was ok) Went into room facilities were ok, couch was badly worn, & bed was comfortable When we returned from the pub no lights were on so we were walking in pitch black darkness, which is disappointing as there should be lights in the car parking area

Unfortunately since I last stayed here the service & the quality has fallen away We first arrived & reception was closed (1345), when we returned at (1400) there were two dogs in the reception area and a bad odour in the area Rooms were clean & aircon on when I got into my room (which was a relief from the heat) We took customers out for dinner at 1830 & waited a little while to be served drinks, restaurant was not even half full, food was average (we have eaten here before & the food was excellent) Walking back to the rooms from the restaurant lights were turned off in the car park area so we were walking back in complex darkness with phones as the only light In the morning I opened up my curtains to overgrown weeds & unkept garden areas Probably won’t be staying here again which is unfortunate as this used to be a really good place to stay
