10/10 Exceptional

We stayed overnight in Emerald on our way to North Queensland. Abode37 was absolutely perfect for an overnight stop. We stayed in a family room & comfortably fit two adults and three small children. The hotel is lovely and new. It was very clean and our room had a great little kitchen, excellent sized bathroom & even a seperate small bedroom for two of the kids (with their own tv as well). Staff were very friendly on check-in. I would absolutely stay here again.
