Pub accommodation in Central Queensland stretches from the coast to the coalfields. The Criterion Hotel Motel is in Rockhampton, the beef capital on the Fitzroy River. Inland, the Grand Hotel Motel in Clermont is a traditional pub, and the Capella Hotel Motel is in Capella, in the Central Highlands.
They're practical, good-value stays for road-trippers and for anyone working in the region. Each is run by its publican — enquire directly for nightly or longer-stay rates.
A pub room is usually the best-value bed in town. You're paying for a clean room in a good spot, not for a lobby — and every one of the 3 Central Queensland pubs listed here is run by its publican. You enquire with them directly, so there are no booking fees and no commission built into the rate. Most publicans here quote directly rather than publishing rates online — send an enquiry with your dates and they'll come back with a price.
One of these is a traditional pub — rooms upstairs, bar and bistro below, usually right on the main street. The rooms are simple and priced to match. Some have an ensuite; others share a bathroom down the hall, the way pub rooms always have. Each listing says what's included, and the publican will tell you exactly what you're getting when you enquire.
