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

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.
