Lovely older motel in the heart of Mackay with continental breakfast provided. Rooms have door on to the lawn and pool, ours had a new and very comfortable king bed, the rates are very competitive, and the couple running the motel are very friendly. Pleasantly surprised.

We loved this place. Front staff woman was so helpful. Great amenities in room and laundry on site. Big room with table and chairs for meals. Close to mall for supplies. Pool looked nice but we never got into it. Location was away from downtown but we preferred that.

Stayed for one night, good size room, very clean, staff were great, was ideal to be able to collect the breakfast selection as I had an early departure the next day. Pool looked great. Very close to cafes, bars and shops. Would definitely stay again. Thanks

A super lovely motel in the best spot in town. Right on the river. Close to all shops and the lagoon/pools. Nice and clean and we had a family room which was very roomy and had everything we needed. The pool is great and has a shallow part for children. Everything was clean and tidy. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We got towels to use from reception for the pool, we needed an extra bowl ( microwaveable) to heat our babies meals and it was no trouble at all. The cleaners were even friendly and gave us fresh towels and emptied bins throughout our stay. We stayed for 5 days and it included free breakfast. Such value for money too. We travelled with a toddler & a baby and it’s location is great. If we return to Mackay we will definitely stay here again. Thankyou

We booked a room with a pool view, however on arriving the 'pool view' turned out to be just a glimpse of the corner of the pool area. This wouldn't have really mattered if the room had been nicer. The room we were offered is in need of a deep clean and redecoration - the fixtures and fittings are all looking well past there best. The final straw was finding live cockroaches in the room.

Thank you for your review. I'm not sure in which room you stayed as your review had no name, as to follow up on your concerns. We have our motel sprayed by a professional pest control company on a regular basis. It is quite possible that an insect flew in from outside. We are located near the river.

The Mid City Motor Inn is well located being close to the CBD and within easy walking distance of the Caneland Shopping Centre. The room was a good size (larger than a lot of motel rooms). The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was mostly renovated and a good size. Great shower with plenty of hot water that drained well. Wi Fi worked well. Staff were friendly and helpful.

It was definitely a motel, but much in need of a make over. The pictures painted a much rosier picture than we encountered. It stated you had a continental breakfast. It was very much a make it yourself, and you collected the cereals the night before, but no extra milk.

Very helpful staff, massive king beds, stunning breakfast and facilities. Bbq and pool are so clean, staff go above the normal to cater to reasonable requests like storing baggage. Housekeeping happy to provide fresh towels and stinking water, bathrooms are newly installed and provide shower gel and shampoo

This motel is in a beautiful and convenient location, but its old and due for an update. Masking tape to hold the fridge tray together, soap dispensers on the floor in the shower and globs of glue and rusted left overs in the shower. A single bed that had a dip in the end so large I'd lose a child not to mention the aircon that had its piping out and dripping everywhere. On a good night there was a torrential low the days we stayed and the roof never leaked. It was clean, well present for its age and very large, thats a bonus. My biggest disappointment is its an under $100 per night hotel and booking online had us pay over $160 per night. Its just not worth that at all.

For what you pay for its ok ..we booked as it was the only place left just after Xmas with a family room pros: beds were comfortable simply cont breakfast included and pool was clean close to lagoon and shopping complex which was great! Cons: very run down in our family room , paint patches in multiple places in a different colour , and some dirt build up near kickboards, left items (lipglosson counter) from previous ppl ... so cleaners not checking and makes you feel unclean when that happens on what else was not checked and cleaned. The dead lock latch had been busted off ... Paper plates and bowels were ok I suppose but wood fires and knifes are a def no, so annoying to eat with . TV was on a wall that you could not watch it from either of the 5 beds in the room ! You had to sit at the dining table which was very loose as well as 2 of the chairs missing bolts so very loose as well , we were on edge when using the table due to this. AC was also on a very crappy spot, to get the room cool it was on full ball and points to the 3 single beds.. the adult bed is over on other side of room and has next to no air flow so we were hot all night and the kids were freezing... just silly! Water pressure : non existant ..showering was horrible and very touchy freezing or hot . BBQ area bin was full and a few loose cans on grass but could have been recent and cleaners not been able to check yet . Its ok for 170 for a night , but would pay the extra to get something more updated elsewhere .if the option was there .. .. Has potential to be great if they upgraded it and put a good maybe bamboo plant line around fence line to limit the detchy looking houses being seen from the top level ... had garbage in yards and sheets for curtains ect not a nice view from the room.
