Mackay Resort Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This motel had a nice feel when you drove into the complex. Our room was spacious and clean with a separate area where the 2 single beds were. There was a little bit of noise from other guests, but we all slept well & the beds were comfortable. Undercover parking available for our car also. We arrived after hours, check in was easy via the lockbox and the staff were friendly when we checked out. We would stay here again if ever in Mackay."
