Opal Ridge Motel Collinsville

Review by hotel critic

Having recently taken a city break at the Opal Ridge Motel, I found it to be a delightful blend of comfort and charm, perfectly suited for both working archaeologists like myself and casual travelers. The rooms were air-conditioned and featured all the essentials, including a kettle and fridge, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploration. One evening, we dined at the bistro, where the menu might be limited, but the meals were fresh and delicious—my companion was even treated to a custom dish off-menu, a gesture that truly impressed us. Breakfast was delightful as well, though do set your alarm; if you miss it, a hidden gem called 'Out and About' across the road offers superb coffee and fresh sandwiches, which we found on a staff recommendation. The standout feature has to be the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff, who were genuinely friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that we felt at home. Whether you're traveling with colleagues or family, the Opal Ridge provides a stylish and relaxed venue to gather, making it an ideal spot for any type of traveler.
