Quest Mackay on Gordon
Room was spotless, staff were courteous and accommodating. The only issue or concern was the exit to the parking seemed to be left open which raised concerns for safety. Would definitely stay there again.

Mackay Resort Motel
Clean room. Great location. Had everything we needed. Communication was fantastic as we had a late check in. Very helpful when my child got sick and we needed the hospital and a bit for time in our room. Highly recommend for your stay in Mackay. Easy access to everything.
