This place is decent for a quick overnight stop, with clean powered sites and a generally quiet atmosphere. The camp kitchen is a plus with plenty of space and a big TV, but I found the amenities lacking. The bathrooms need more attention as they weren't cleaned well, and the staff's response to these concerns wasn't very helpful. For a short stay, it's fine, but not somewhere I would choose for a longer visit.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, which offered clean powered sites and a camp kitchen that was well-equipped and generally quiet. However, the amenities, particularly the bathrooms, were lacking as they weren't cleaned adequately, and the staff's response to our concerns wasn't very friendly. It's fine for a quick overnight stop, but I wouldn't choose to stay here long-term.

The hotel served its purpose for an overnight stay, but it felt a bit neglected compared to what it might have been in the past. While the staff at the front desk was helpful, the overall maintenance needs attention, particularly the gardens and cleanliness of the amenities. The mosquito problem was unfortunate, but it did provide a roof over our heads for a night. Next time in Mackay, I might look for another option.

The hotel was adequate for our overnight stay, offering a clean room with fresh linens, but some areas could use improvement. The gardens were unkempt, and we had to do a bit of cleaning ourselves due to some dead insects. The powered sites were decent and quiet, but the amenities were a letdown, especially the cleanliness of the toilets and lack of hot water in the showers. Overall, it's a simple stopover spot, but I'd consider trying somewhere else next time.

The room was generally clean with fresh linens, but there was dust present and we had to sweep due to dead insects. The bedding felt a bit dated but was functional, and the air conditioning was already on when we arrived, which was a nice touch.

The hotel provided a decent overnight stay, but it did have its shortcomings. While the room was clean and met basic needs, the lack of maintenance in areas like the gardens and amenities left something to be desired. The service wasn't particularly warm, but it was adequate for what we needed. Overall, it served its purpose, but I'd consider looking elsewhere for a longer stay.
