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.

The room we had was very roomy, with bed and bathroom on mezzanine level. There was a lounge, dining and kitchenette on ground level. A small continental breakfast was provided on arrival. Overall room was very comfy and reasonable cost.

Stayed here for over 20 years, room I had nicely updated. Off the main road, little quieter.
Will be nice if the restaurant opens again soon. Nice to eat at the location cooked breaky was always a great start to your day.
New managers who seem keen to impress.
