Went to the hole in the wall to order food. The girl behind the hole was rude and I got the impression I wasn't wanted as a customer. That attitude was in line with the quality of steak I got, which was not very tasty, had alot of fat and not as much meat as you would expect for the... More

There’s nothing more pleasant than a classic hotel that knows where it’s come from, and knows where it’s going. Too many hotels have “modern” fit-outs, all but destroying the charm that once formed part of the mortar. Sidling up to the bar on any given evening, to the sounds of friendly conversation, and in the company of friends you haven’t... More

Our two nights in The Criterion were in the motel addition. We had two rooms - a sitting rom with table and chairs, bedroom and a bath. It is very good value. there is no view to be had in the motel portion but it is a good place to stay if you want to eat breakfast in your room... More

Stopped in for dinner based in the lovely location on a gorgeous heritage style building strip. Lovely steak cooked perfectly. Not cheap but definitely worth the money. More

When my steak did finally arrive...no Pepper Sauce as ordered...although I had just given the details (again). After 5... More

We stayed at the family-owned Criterion Hotel in Rockhampton, Australia. Our large room looked like it was out of a Western movie and our balcony overlooked the Fitzeroy River. We could see and hear the colorful lorikeets at dusk in the trees outside. Some huge bats flew by overhead. The town is restored and has some lovely 1870s buildings. There... More

My husband and I have stayed at the Critien many times in the past. The rooms are run down and the service terrible. We stay here for the location only. The rooms are clean but not well maintained. On serveral different visits we have informed front desk of certain maintenance problems like a broken bed and missing light bulbs. They... More
