Hotel is old but rooms are clean and quiet with new split system aircons and the usual appliances. You will get a good night's sleep here if you don't want any noise disturbing you.

Location very convenient being in the Mackay CBD.

Staff allowed us to use the reception freezer to keep an ice pack cold for my daughter's medication.

Went to the MECC for a Jazz Brunch and this location was perfect. Walkable to the town centre. Towels were ok but not real soft and fluffy. The pillows were ok but quite thin and only one spare in the cupboard. The bed had one blanket that was minky soft but it was also very thin with no spare blanket to use. and it was it cold while the aircon was hard to get to the correct temp in the room so half the night we were freezing and turning up the aircon a bit at a time. No spare blanket. The receptionist was great.

I asked for a late checkout and the property manager accepted for an extra charge.
The room itself was well appointed and spacious.

What I did not like about my stay was the property manager's questions which were several and I was slowly losing patience answering them. Apparently bookings made through Expedia.com do not show guest details and therefore why she had to ask me all the questions that could have been found on Expedia as part of my profile.

The worst part about my stay was that the property manager's son (I assume) comes across as a weirdo always aggressively asking if 'I'm ok' or if 'everything was good'. He even tried to enter my room despite knowing that I had a late checkout however he was very apologetic about it stating that he assumed I had checked out. I do not understand why he assumed this as I had not handed my room key yet. They could have also called to make sure I had checked out so there was no excuse for the guy to enter the room. Fortunately, I was able to communicate with him from inside the room before he could open the door. Had he entered, he would have been witness to a fully naked man about to take a shower. This almost felt like an invasion of privacy and I would encourage guests to stay elsewhere.

Great staff very helpful with places to eat nearby. Not on main highway so not as noisy as some but still on a main thoroughfare. Comfy bed. Only stayed while travelling through overnight and was pleased I did.

The room is spacious and clean. The location is convenient with eateries, groceries and shopping mall near by.
Some facilities in the room are a bit dated such as kettle, toaster and water shower.
Also saw some tiny ants on the table in bed room and toilet.

I stay here whenever I come into Mackay and have since it was built. It started to look shabby but with the new management the place is slowly returning to its old glory thanks to the management

Nice room but when u look closesr very unclean. All marks around light switches and toilet has dark line around water wher it’s not been cleaned. Rubbish and lots of dirt stuffed in lounge suite. The manger wasn’t going to let us stay as we are locals. They refuse local people and question why did we want to stay if we have a house of our own. Very dissapinted.

This is a great place to stay and my first booking. The motel is showing signs of ageing, but it is located in a quiet location within walking distance to the Caneland shopping centre and Mackay CBD.
The room was well appointed, but I wished there was more counter space as I found that I was constantly running out of space to put plates, food and cutlery.
