Top The Big Whale Hotel Reviews

Mantra Hervey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and neat"

Comfort Inn on Main Hervey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"."

Main Street Motel

8/10 Good

"Good value for money. Very convenient location with shopping centres including eateries both behind and across the road and a big RSL at the edge of the carpark at the rear. The kitchenette is well equipped with most things that you could need and very clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A bit noisy at times with traffic but if you want convenience, good service and value for money, this is it. Unfortunately we did not find the mattress comfortable at all as it was too hard. The shower works well but could do with an update. I am also sorry to say it, but the windows could do with a clean."
