We stayed here for a night to stop off on the way up coast. It was perfect for what we wanted, just a place to sleep for the night before heading off in the morning. The room was clean and perfect for the night. It had free parking for guests and right next to the airport for those travelling by plane. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

We booked a room for one night on our week long road trip from Brisbane to Airlie Beach. The room was exactly what we expected and ideal for one night. The free breakfast was an added bonus. The highlight of our stay was our dinner at Fusion 128, which was in the centre of Mackay but easily accessed by car.

Great place, friendly staff. Only stayed one night so didn't get to check out all the facilities, but thoroughly enjoyed the room and there was very fast wifi.
