Pros +
- very dirty
- Very poor
- Nice pool to cool down in after travelling good pool hours close to food
Cons -
- it was really dirty: Hair everywhere and the first thing we saw inside the room was a cockroach! we never saw the staff so i can’t say if they were nice or not.
- The room I was staying in was disgusting. Luckily it was only one night and I was by myself. My wife would have refused to stay there. Walls were dirty. Table was stained and sticky. Very run down.Will never stay here again. Edit- I attached photos to this review... not sure if they were moderated but they showed the state of the table, walls and a power point + cord coming out between the main bed's mattress and pillow.
- Would be nice for undercover parking

Would be nice for undercover parking
The host was friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable, big TV and bed.
Could have better sound proofing as other people arrived late and were loud.
Easy parking, big comfortable rooms.
I paid for breakfast to be included but was getting there after reception closed and had to leave before reception opened again, told staff this and was told they would put my breakfast in my fridge in my room. Got there and there was nothing in my fridge and no reception to contact before I had to leave again in the morning so I paid for breakfast for nothing.
The locations
Old , antiquated, shower mouldy , kitchen items lacking, paper plates, cardboard, knife, fork
bed was comfortable. the location is great..
The room had suffered a bad water leak. The carpet near the window was entirely soaked and the room smelt as a result. Also Another guest had park on the wrong side of the driveway preventing multiple guests from leaving. I had to door knock the rooms at 5.30am to ask the owner to move their car. The car had been incorrectly parked this way during office hours and should have been rectified by staff.
great location, clean and comfortable
could use updating the rooms
Location
Run down, could use paint, repairs to taps and bed wasn’t that comfortable
It's near the river
The bed sagged into a hope in the middle, reception and room was musylty, mouldy, tiles cracked, cockroach on the carpet , cockroach outside, litter in gardens, broken bricks in gardens, kettle and toaster stored at ankle level, poor , patched paint jobs on wall, the statiue in driveway, had its head broken off, everything was rin down, the pictures of rooms was nothing like the run down shoddy room. Stains on walls, broken busted chains and locks , my husband pulled his back out , due to the very poor saggy caved in bed
Everything was really great. Nice central location with easy access to everything we needed, and well suited to a family with young teens. All the staff were very helpful, and when we experienced a minor issue in our original room, the staff arranged a room swap to allow them to resolve it without impact to us. The free laundry on site was fantastic as we had a 9 day stay and so it allowed us to regularly wash clothing and our own swimming towels.
The beds were a little softer than I'm used to, but were still comfortable.
It is close to the city.The staff accommodated to our issues
TV didn’t work in the 1st room, but the management moved us to another room that satisfied our needs.
The rooms at Mid City Motor Inn are extremely comfortable and truly make you feel at home. The atmosphere throughout the property is calm, quiet, and perfect for resting after a long day. The beds are outstanding—clean, cozy, and genuinely great quality. Arif, the manager, is exceptionally kind, helpful, and attentive, always making sure guests have everything they need. Overall, it is a wonderful place to stay and highly recommended.
All good
Nothing was good
The beds were very uncomfortable the room was a dump stained carpets missing towels asked for room towels said they would drop them off never came shower leaking everywhere no shower screen or curtain The room stank beds didn't look clean fridge leaking water lights outside were hanging by wire but still on very dangerous room didn't even look like photos stay away from this hotel at all costs very over priced and had paper plates staff where rude
Location and price
Aircon didn’t work, no one at reception and very dated
Friendly staff, great location, plenty parking, pool was lovely as its also out the back and makes it more private...
My pillows ... but I brought my own
Over priced, under performed.
Customer service none exsistence. The room was not clean as there were cockroaches, leaves and dirt in all the rooms. The carpet was ripped up throughout, very uncomfortable bed and lounge. Totally over priced. Do not leave anything outside your room nor your car unlocked as things will get stolen. This is not a safe place to stay for that and other reasons.
Thank you Arif at Mackay Mid City Inn always love & look aftee me & make sure im comfrotable
Close to town and the service was great.
The place is very run downand shower pressure was not great.
Great location, the room was clean and it’s great value for the money.
