Top hotels in Park Avenue
Park Avenue Hotel Motel
The room was a bit small and the aircon was noisy to start with and settled to an acceptable level. Breakfast is not available and the receptionist only suggestion was to go to McDonalds which I thought was a bit poor as there are a number of eatery's in Rockhampton that are much better.
