The room was clean and had fairly recently been updated, parking was easy, location was great across the street from a lovely beach. The restaurant was not accessible, we were told it was reserved 6 months in advance so it was probably very good but disappointed that we could not eat there but there were other restaurants within walking distance.

Unexpected stay over.

A last minute booking due to an unexpected hospital stay, so i turned up late looking like a homeless person in a sling and multiple dressings and a shopping bag with a few belongings in. I was very warmly greeted at reception. Wonderful manager. I was lucky to get the last room.which was very nice. Very clean and fresh smelling, bed was awesome after 3 nights in hospital. Much needed rest, next morning was warmly greeted by the same manager, he took my key so i didn't need to walk to reception,asked if i needed an Uber or taxi. But i had a lift coming who had to travel a long distance. He said i could sit and wait in a comfy chair and even gave me a cold bottle of water. Great service, will definitely be returning for a recreational stay. Thank you

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.
