The first night my son and I were woken up at least ten times. We gave up trying to sleep at 4am. People were just having fun but the coming and going all night was really frustrating. The second night we were kindly moved to a room away from the lifts. By 4am we were up again. The rooms had everything we needed and staff were lovely, but I certainly wouldn't recommend staying there on a weekend if sleep is something you need.

First room was above a night club and noisy, the windows did not shut properly and the wind made loud whistling noises but the friendly and helpful staff moved us to another room on the other side of the building and it was fantastic.

We stayed in a studio for a night before a wedding. The staff allowed us to check in early so that we could get ready in the room before having to leave for the event. The room was clean and big, and the bathroom had good toiletries, as well as a hair dryer and magnifying mirror. Everything in the room worked well. We couldn't hear other guests at all even though the hotel was pretty full. Parking is easy and free. We have stayed before and will stay again!

We have stayed at this hotel regularly. We thought we would eventually get a room with decent shower pressure. Our last stay was the worst by far, with the shower no more than a trickle. This building is relatively new, so there is no excuse for poor water pressure. Low cost hotels on Nebo road have better pressure. I had a bath instead and while relaxing in the bath, noticed how dirty the bathroom was. Anything not in direct eye sight had not been cleaned. The cost of these rooms is above average for Mackay, so we expect better than this. We feel like we will not be staying here again because of this. As we deserve a decent shower for the amount of money we have paid.

The carpet needs a good cleaning and shampoo. There were ants everywhere and the joinery doors need adjusting. No chairs on the veranda, and the couch was 2nd rate.
