“Staff great, rooms great”

Reviewed 16 February 2013

I traveled to Mackay for work, I stopped overnight at the Alara, and was very surprised how good the motel was. As with any mining based towns, you pay extra for everything, but overall, I would return back to the Alara next time I'm in town.

After driving 12 hours straight the alara hotel was the only hotel with a vacancy. While we can appreciate that Mackay is a mining town and rooms can be hard to come by what we didn't appreciate having to pay an extreme high rate for the last room. The room was clean and appropriate, customer service was good. However more... More
