Missing the small details which you take for granted at all other motels. Staff were lovely but given the amount of other options in the area, I wouldn’t stay here again.

we booked the Marco polo for a quick overnight stay in mackay for a function. arrived late in the afternoon and check in was no problem. after returning to the room later that night there was no hot water at all in the shower , i called the after hours number 3 times and was on hold for a total of 25 minutes and never spoke to anyone it was after mifnight by this stage so we went to bed. in the morning the same thing no hot water so we just left. I even paid the extra for the Deluxe room and regrett even staying there at all. since staying i have read other reviews that say the cold showers are a common occurance. this dampened the entire stay particularly after attending an outdoor function on a very cold evening. will not stay again. the room was clean , amenities good and the lady at reception friendly but the no hot water issue left a bad taste!

Sadly about 30 years after it's use by date. Fridge in room didn't work, and there was somebody else's ice cream in the "freezer" section (if it worked). Room was clean, and reception was good. Quiet.

Real little gem !

The hotel is a real little gem, while outside style is older the rooms have been stylishly decorated to give a modern on trend feel. Bed was super comfy and the reception was very friendly and welcoming.
