Everything. Location, parking, friendly staff.
I have no complaints.
Convenient with all in one facility. Bar, dinning, gaming, sleeping
Noise at times
Always stay here when we stay in Mackay and it never disappoints. Great rooms, close to the pub for meals but never noisy.
A bit smelly when we first walk in the room but it was only the cleaning products smell so at least we knew the room was clean.
Great location, central to most things. Pub has good food and cold beer.
We loved the location and the pub right there for meals
One thing I would like to suggest is put a hand rail on the pool steps to make it easier for us oldies to get in and out
Well located, close to a pub where we could get a great streak!
We were assigned the disability room
Clean and comfortable. Good location with the restaurant connected.
Exceptionally cleanGreat valueComfortable Great pub meals at adjoining hotel
The size of the room, the kitchenette, the washing machine, the breakfast.
The smell of bleach from the bathroom.
Cleanliness and well equipped room
Access to good foodNice n quiet
Loved the rooms close to the restaurant
The party with loud music late at night
The staff are excellent! I have stayed here for possibly a decade and always found the staff and restaurant meals excellent.The location is excellent.The rooms are generously sized.There is bread and jam and juice and milk in the fridge for a quick self made breakfast.Showers are nice and hot!They did kindly call me to flag their wifi was down due to renovations, and they've been having issues with it in the rooms for more than a year, really hoping this time they finally solve it as my reporting work is online.
They replaced the airconditioners with non-reverse cycle ones that can't do heat.I realise most of the year Mackay is mostly very warm, but in winter when Mackay finally gets cold its really not built for the cold. You're trying to sit there typing your reports up and there's no heat from the aircon and no oil-heaters available so your fingers freeze regardless of how many blankets are available for the bed.
Big apartment style rooms, in room breakfast included, kitchenette, parking, pool outlook, clean, quiet, convenient. Hotel restaurant very good.
WiFi in rooms would be good instead of having to mobile hotspot.
I loved the shower, it was like standing under a waterfall, great pressure, nice hot water.
Availability of wifi was advertised but it was not available in my room. The staff member in reception really didn't want to know about it but on my insistence turned around and mumbled about leaving a message for the manager. On my departure she mentioned that the wifi here has never been good.There was no follow up and no wifi during my 4-night stay.
Everything was so beautiful and clean. Room was the best we've ever stayed in. Cleaning lady was very friendly and food was excellent. Would recommend to everyone. Have already booked for our next stay next month.
It was great to have the breakfast in the room. We had an early morning flight to catch and were up very early. It was good to have a light breakfast before we left. It was just enough for our needs.
Clean room, friendly staff, great price and location
