Ascot Lodge Motor Inn

We were a group of 18 mature aged cyclists spending a full week cycling mainly on the quiet rural roads around Kingaroy with accommodation at the Ascot Lodge Motel. The management and staff at the Ascot were terrific in all aspects. We dined in the Ascots Restaurant each night and the chef Bernie did an awesome job including meeting the needs of those in the group with special dietary needs. This was the 6th year our group has spent a week cycling whilst staying in Kingaroy and already we are looking at booking dates at the Ascot for 2026.

Very clean, comfy beds and friendly, helpful staff. Covered parking at the door a bonus. Happy to recommend. Good quiet location.

Excellent service, fantastic room really clean and modern and the shower was exceptional, easy to book and to check in and out, really friendly, informative and pleasant staff. Really impressed with extra touches eg: tea, coffee, sugar and milk in the fridge and little complimentary choc coated peanuts. The bed was extra comfortable and we had a great nights sleep, we will definitely going back to stay there when we go back that way.

on approach the Motor Inn looks inviting, the staff so friendly and helpful the room was large clean well equipped, the Bathroom was large and clean , the bed was comfortable and pillows fluffy and comfortable, will be staying there on our next visit

Our experience in multiple stays is that the presentation and cleanliness of the room is always first class. Indeed, the friendliness of the reception staff is wonderful. Also, the bed mattress ensures one has a great sleep. We will continue to stay at Ascot lodge on future visits.

Finding a hotel on the road while travelling in regional Australia is a lucky dip at best. You don’t always make the best choice. Driving through regional Queensland this week took us last night to Kingaroy. We thought a few in the town looked okay but chose the Ascot Lodge Motor Inn, Kingaroy. It was a hot day and we were pleased when we pulled up that there was a small but very clean sparkling pool. We went into the office to check in and met the Manager on site, Chris. What a delightful lady. We were quickly checked in, and one of us being a ‘painful vegetarian’, asked about the in-house restaurant (also a recurring lucky dip). Chris was so helpful and was able to tell me about the options and suggested the chef could adjust dishes to suit. What a great welcome. That welcome was helped by a very hygienically presented lolly table, so we grabbed a couple of little buckets of sweet treats for later. What a nice touch! We went to our room and were delighted at everything. Yes. Everything. Great coffee and tea station, brand new fridges, fresh clean surfaces and walls, and a sparkling bathroom with great products and a roomy shower. Then the bed. Hands up how many of you have slept in caved-in beds in country hotels? Not this one. Beds were high, not too firm pillow-tops. Fantastic. Great air conditioning, a comfy lounge and big generous clean pillows and crisp white sheets. I could stay here a week! I’m sure the locals know about the restaurant here and make good use of it so make sure you book when you arrive. The food was amazing. Probably the best lentil and cauliflower curry I’ve ever had. Top notch chutney and raita together with a generous little naan bread. We also got a juicy chicken breast on porcini risotto. All perfectly cooked and matched with a great (underpriced) Hunter Valley Shiraz. All of this was amazingly good, but I must say chatting to Chris was part of the best of the experience. She’s started from the bottom in hospitality and worked her way up to management level. She’s enthusiastic and efficient and a credit to the hotel and knows the business. True talent right there!! A delight. Made us feel at home and her attention to detail showed through in everything including the fully stocked guest laundry complete with a guest freezer to freeze our esky blocks and drinks for the day ahead. They’ve thought of everything. Don’t drive past the Ascot! (Also a really quiet location!)
