White Lace Motor Inn
"This was bad, probably the worst. Like, bad staff. When we got into the room, one of the lights was broken. The fridge placement was blocking a dresser that kept plates and cups to make tea and coffee in. The bathroom sliding door was freely hanging off, and we had to leave early in the morning. ..."

Sun Plaza Motel Mackay
"Dirty and dingy room. Sheets had blood on them when I arrived and had to wait awhile for someone to change them. The ceiling tiles were open and the carpet smelt of mould. Overall horrible accomodation and I would not recommend."
