The location was great - walking distance to the beach and to the local Ocean's Bar & Restaurant where you could go to for drinks, afternoon entertainment and if you felt so inclined, for meals as well. It was also close to the airport and the city centre.

When I travel for work to Mackay, I am staying here, plain and simple. Everything I could want in a place to stay for work was exceeded significantly! The location, the WIFI, the staff, the service and the food! Oh my goodness!

Quiet location. Short walk to shops, a range good food places and riverside walks. Large comfortable bed. One pillow felt like it was full of rocks, but there was a spare much better one hiding in the wardrobe. Good swimming pool. Adequate breakfast. We were part of a contingent competing in a sporting event. Many others stayed in motels far from the city centre on the busy main road to the south. We were in a much better location.

Our apartment was spacious and well furnished and kitchen was well stocked with cooking pans/ utensils: we loved the sea views from our 7th floor windows and patio and the location was nice and quiet and no problem getting around as we had a car, I imagine it would not be the best location if you were travelling with no vehicle as the hotel is fairly far from the city and any major convenience stores,the bed was comfortable and clean.the staff were friendly and helpful.would certainly book again if needed accommodation in Mackay.
