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.

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!

Whilst the room was clean and tidy it fell down on comfort. There were only two pillows in the room and there was not a wardrobe or cupboard to hang clothes. The hot water was barely luke warm and too cool to have a shower. The rule book is very unfriendly and talks of ‘fines’ if you do certain things!! Whilst it was not terrible, with so many other options nearby I would not stay again.
