The room is spacious and clean. The location is convenient with eateries, groceries and shopping mall near by. Some facilities in the room are a bit dated such as kettle, toaster and water shower. Also saw some tiny ants on the table in bed room and toilet.

This is a great place to stay and my first booking. The motel is showing signs of ageing, but it is located in a quiet location within walking distance to the Caneland shopping centre and Mackay CBD. The room was well appointed, but I wished there was more counter space as I found that I was constantly running out of space to put plates, food and cutlery.
