darrell
It is the most dirtiest, disgusting place I have ever stayed at!!!
Kristal
I enjoyed my stay .
Natalie
Mold here and there on things, even on sheets, brown water from the tap that cleared after a minute but I still felt like it was not safe to use, noisy from the pub below, everything was shabby and in poor condition, but the AC, that was the only thing that worked well. Close to the public transport, so that was good for me. otherwise, it's a place for drunk people with low standards.
Anne
Would not stay there again building needs an upgrading also bathroom need upgrading too the furniture in the room we didn't feel safe
Hanna
I couldn't believe there's no aircon in the room only one electric fan but it wasn't windy and cold at all It was so hot in that room and big music party outside so it was too hot and so damn noisy
I checked in 7pm and I was ran away from this hotel at 12am cus so hot and I couldn't sleep at all

Meals where great and reasonably priced, staff where great, Main function areas where really well set out and pleasant. Rooms not up to par. Hot, tiles falling apart, windows rusted shut and just “Blah”
Simon
One night at McGuires
One night stay. Room was decent size and nice and clean.
Selin
I couldn’t sleep due to very loud music all night until 2am. It felt like my room was in the middle of the bar. Will never stay at that place.
It was a relatively clean place but everything is pretty old.

Anna
Great staff, super friendly and helpful. My room wasn’t secure though, with one window missing a panel and a set of louvres ’repaired’ with a beer sign. 😂 also the missing window panels meant the karaoke was super loud. Overall pretty stoked to get an en-suite and bar fridge for the price.
Don
Too noisy in the room with thumping music playing all day
Eva

If you're staying overnight on a Saturday, be prepared for no sleep. Music pounding threw the walls till 2am.... Other than that, the staff are awesome

The showers wear dirty the walls wear dirty the bed was probably dirty too but I don’t wanna know about that
Frank
Accommodation in a very convenient location and affordable excellent pricing.
Joseph
Typical old pub
Huw
Great value for the price. Sure, if you want 5 star luxury, this isn't for you - find somewhere else- at a lot higher price!
Bedding clean and comfortable. Room clean though dated - but as you would expect.
No noise problem - but no live music when i stayed, if there was music on i would probably be listening to it rather than trying to have an early quiet night.
Loved lady at reception was really helpful ( I hadn't realised bookings were on line only )
All in all, if i need a cheap convenient place to stay in Mackay, I'll be back Thanks7

I love a dingy pub.. I don’t have high standards and this joint still didn’t meet them. The bed was torn and looked like it had STIs. Room smelled bad and had no windows. No hot water. Yikes.
Lachlan
Stayed twice now. This is the best budget accommodation in Mackay. As long as you've got realistic expectations of a hotel at this price point, you will be nicely surprised by how good it actually is. The beds are comfortable, the air conditioners and the kettle work, and the showers are hot. How much more do you need? A centralised location? You can't get much more central than this. Pop outside, turn left and take 20 odd steps and you're right on the main drag with restaurants, Night Owl convenience, major banks, and a very nice public library with free wi-fi and power points. And the Greyhound intercity bus stop is just 3 blocks away.
Annalyce
Didn't uphold booking due to discriminating against medical condition, didnt get any clear answers on how to process refund, and refused a place to stay for the night after insisting you can only book online then after refusing service after paying and no answer on a refund because it wasn't booked through \"them\" asked if there is any way to pay at the desk then book online, nope, funny thing is we had to speak louder to each other each time a drink was Spilled and smashed by the intoxicated people in the bar let in by them happily, so Intoxication isn't a issue there and yet that's the reasoning I got when they refused accommodation, still waiting on the bank to process refund I let everyone know to not go there, because if you rock up with a medical condition where you're not even allowed to drink and your weak on your feet and think out loud to yourself then no accommodation service is provided to you. Waste of time and lies the whole way through on the booking site as well, wanted $99 at first then bumped it down to $79, still way too much for \"budget\" accommodation, i wonder if I was actually drinking and intoxicated in their bar throwing them money all night like the party that was being held there, how easy would it be to get a nights stay there, probably would be extremely easy I bet. Thanks McGuires for this, ruined any good name they have left about themselves. It's too difficult to get a refund on Expedia and McGuires gives appalling services anyway. Won't be back
Gwynneth
It's an old building in need of upgrading but would be a shame if it was made too contempory.
Sera
All good, central, bit older

Amazing staff and a convenient and cheap place to stay
Samuel
Booked but when arrived told there were no rooms. Told they would process refund. No refund and when contacted expedia i was told they tried but closed the case 24 hours later as they could not get hold of the manager. This is because despite turning me away the staff put 'booking complete'. Still no refund and going to take this further as there was a similar incident not long ago and no refund for that either. Do not book - especially if its the last if your money as you wont get it back and most likely wont get a room either.
Matthew
Great location
David
Close to town, food is good.
Bit noisey on Friday and Saturday nights.

There is nothing wrong with the property. It's very basic but when share costing with a friend for a night out on the town, it's good value.

It was an old hotel with new management. If you could look past the need for a spruce up the building.
They had karaoke and a separate band area, where we had a really fantastic time.

Lots of stairs,hand rail only 1 side & bump your head going downstairs
Antonio
Very disappointing night at the McGuire's Pub.
Bed were terrible and did not get a good night sleep.
Noisy and rumbling noises all night long.
Pour condition of the room, peeling paint everywhere, Shower not draining, broken tiles, rusted taps etc etc.
I would not stay there again even though its a budget accommodation...but there was only what we could find for the 2022 QME.

Took our booking & money & when got to place there was no one there.Very poor on McGuires behalf Will be letting it known not to stay at McGuires.Take your booking & money,but no accommodation.Not happy.Very very bad.
Carol
Booked and paid on booking .com but no one was there to let us in. We waited for 3 hours only to be told by a caretaker that we would have to find other accommodation. I still have not received my $69 back 😕
Brad
Like the pool tables. Dislike that bathroom was filthy and still had someones used towel in it. Booked a room with a balcony, there was NO balcony for my room
David
I will stay there again.
Jay
Not clean at all.
Rob
-Typical pub accommodation.
-Perhaps an investment in a carpet clean upstairs could freshen the place up and remove the usual old pub smell.
-The room has good amenities though the unfinished timber work and mould around the shower let’s it down.
-The worst thing is that the aircon barely worked and the vents were full of gunk. A health hazard I’ve no doubt. Not great for the owners electricity bill either I suspect as the poor system struggles to cool through the uncleaned filters.

Needs renovation but was a roof for a couple of nights
Pokiha
Place was cheap and dingy but I guess you get what you pay for.
Don’t ask for a late checkout, I asked for one was told that’s fine but then later found out that if you checkout after 10 they will charge you for another nights stay. Was not told that when I asked, glad I found that out before getting charged.
Also they don’t like answering the phone and if you do get a room make sure it has A/C I made that mistake and the room was practically a sauna.

Pretty good for the money
Rooms are dated, but the beds are comfy. Water is hot, air con cool.
I can't really fault the place considering the price.

Pathetic & terrible
it was not good at all, it was almost like a mortuary, it was shown in the photos as if it was like a gold palace, lighting was so bad in the room that you can't even see your own self.
