Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was nobody to greet us at all since we arrived after 4pm. When we called we were told that our room was left unlocked and to go on in. The bathroom smelled of sewer. The beds were very uncomfortable and we suspect there were bedbugs. We also had a cockroach visitor. It appeared that there had been an attempt to clean the place but it is very run down and needs a lot of work.

Hotel pool and surrounds were fantastic! Restaurant served excellence food at a very reasonable price. Rooms were old and in desperate need of updating, i have doubts theyd even been cleaned as the floor was filthy! AC didnt work which is very poor for Mackay and hard to find anyone at reception to have this rectified. Overall ok but AC is a must!! Ro
