Nice Motel

We stayed for one night at the Marco Polo when passing through Mackay and were pleased with our room. Undercover parking at our front door was good and our room was a good size. The room clean with a comfortable bed and a table and chairs. Everything was in working condition. It's a little out of town but there are some eateries a short drive away. We would stay here again if in Mackay and we do recommend the motel to other travellers.

You're on a main road with passing traffic and sitting on an aircraft flight approach pattern. Noise is always going to be a slight issue at that address. And... Your room curtains in No. 30 need attention but otherwise, all good.
