The room was clean and had fairly recently been updated, parking was easy, location was great across the street from a lovely beach. The restaurant was not accessible, we were told it was reserved 6 months in advance so it was probably very good but disappointed that we could not eat there but there were other restaurants within walking distance.

Unexpected stay over.

A last minute booking due to an unexpected hospital stay, so i turned up late looking like a homeless person in a sling and multiple dressings and a shopping bag with a few belongings in. I was very warmly greeted at reception. Wonderful manager. I was lucky to get the last room.which was very nice. Very clean and fresh smelling, bed was awesome after 3 nights in hospital. Much needed rest, next morning was warmly greeted by the same manager, he took my key so i didn't need to walk to reception,asked if i needed an Uber or taxi. But i had a lift coming who had to travel a long distance. He said i could sit and wait in a comfy chair and even gave me a cold bottle of water. Great service, will definitely be returning for a recreational stay. Thank you

Nice Motel

We stayed for one night at the Marco Polo when passing through Mackay and were pleased with our room. Undercover parking at our front door was good and our room was a good size. The room clean with a comfortable bed and a table and chairs. Everything was in working condition. It's a little out of town but there are some eateries a short drive away. We would stay here again if in Mackay and we do recommend the motel to other travellers.

You're on a main road with passing traffic and sitting on an aircraft flight approach pattern. Noise is always going to be a slight issue at that address.

And... Your room curtains in No. 30 need attention but otherwise, all good.

we booked the Marco polo for a quick overnight stay in mackay for a function. arrived late in the afternoon and check in was no problem. after returning to the room later that night there was no hot water at all in the shower , i called the after hours number 3 times and was on hold for a total of 25 minutes and never spoke to anyone it was after mifnight by this stage so we went to bed. in the morning the same thing no hot water so we just left. I even paid the extra for the Deluxe room and regrett even staying there at all. since staying i have read other reviews that say the cold showers are a common occurance. this dampened the entire stay particularly after attending an outdoor function on a very cold evening. will not stay again. the room was clean , amenities good and the lady at reception friendly but the no hot water issue left a bad taste!

Whilst the room was clean and tidy it fell down on comfort. There were only two pillows in the room and there was not a wardrobe or cupboard to hang clothes. The hot water was barely luke warm and too cool to have a shower. The rule book is very unfriendly and talks of ‘fines’ if you do certain things!!
Whilst it was not terrible, with so many other options nearby I would not stay again.

Policy Over Integrity – Disappointed.
I called ahead to inform the property that I would be arriving at midnight due to travel. After introducing myself, I my call was answered with a dismissive and rude response. The staff member confirmed my booking and instructed me to call a number upon arrival to receive my key.
Upon reaching the motel, I realized I had mistakenly booked the wrong date, and the property was fully booked for the night. With no alternative, I had to sleep in my car. I immediately contacted Expedia to request a refund and was advised to reach out to the property directly. When I called, the same staff member blatantly lied and redirected me back to Expedia instead of addressing the issue.
As someone who has managed the largest accommodation in Queensland, I understand policies regarding cancellations and refunds. However, my incorrect booking was still five days away, and rather than providing honest and transparent customer service, the property chose to keep my money and mislead me. This is not how guests should be treated.
I hope the small amount of money retained from this situation is worth the damage done to your reputation. I would never recommend or return to this property.

Room #2 was our initial room. We walked in and the floors had been damp mopped. .....horrendously slippery and dangerous. We thought turning on the A/C would quickly remedy this issue. After waiting a couple of hours, the A/C didn't not seem to be working. We were told it was very humid and that it would cool down shortly. After another 1.5 hours the room was still like a sauna. We were given towels to mop up the moisture on the floors but because the A/C was not cooling things off, we asked to be moved so we were moved to the next room, #1. It was convenient to move only 1 room over, however, still inconvenient with our luggage. The A/C was working perfectly in this room. I do understand there was only one person at front reception when we were there but the floors were dangerous being so wet and the A/C didn't work and the humidity was crazy. We were only there for one night so that's why we were not super happy with this.

The rooms were fresh and clean, with a modern appearance. I really appreciated the extra bathroom counter space. Bev in the office (sorry if I got it wrong) was exceptional in her welcoming and customer service. We loved this hotel and will stay here again.

Personal experience downfalls:
- internet was glitchy so I ended up hot spotting with my own data so my son could watch a movie.
- Difficulty manoeuvring out of my parking space as a large work van parked opposite my room car park. -
Ordered a take away pasta dish from onsite Italian restaurant $29, serving size less than a handful. Followed up with request to top up or refund. Refund provided.
