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.
Spacious one bedroom unit with cooking facilities.
Unit has no view from balcony as it is looking into the building next door

Manager very hands on, efficient and obliging. Pleasant staff. All doing well under pressure as property has new owner and working through usual teething issues. High potential.
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.
Was not told when we booked in to take our breakfast up to our room then.
As it was part of cost, it was not delivered to our room, thought it may be outside room next morning but was not.
Also no book inside room telling us anything at all.
Would have liked to know if bottle of wine was complimentary or we had to pay if we drank. No book, no know.

The property was very dated and looked untidy. I could hear both my neighbors verly clearly through the wall.
