Thank you so much for the lovely stay and upgrade. There was plenty of space. The room was clean and upkept. Only downside was we were near the pub and it was a Friday night. It was loud but seemed to quiet down around 10 which was wonderful. Highly recommend. Will be staying here the next time I go to Queensland!

Travelling during the recent bad weather event in NSW the staff at Macquarie Barracks were understanding and managed an earlier check in. In the meantime the pub next door offered a great lunch while I waited. Thank you.

Overnight stay on way north

Second time I have stayed at Macquarie Barracks. Arrived a little earlier than standard check in time and the lovely receptionist allowed me to get in early. Executive Queen is a basic room with microwave, bar fridge & kettle. Room had a slight musky smell upon entry which I think was coming from the bathroom. A comfortable stay with nice hot shower. Would stay again.
