Reception staff are barely civil in communications prior to the stay, but much better during the stay. Manager of the apts was helpful when I escalated to her, but we had an issue with the lift and her first response was that someone did it. The staff attitude towards paying guests leaves a lot to be desired. Apartments are very nice and location is great, but I wouldn’t stay again. They are beyond rigid with everything - read the rules before staying. Rooftop area is amazing, but they don’t encourage use of it and no outside guests allowed. Advertised room with a queen bed, but it was a double bed at best so sleep wasn’t easy with 2 of us in a double bed. Recommend Quest on Gordon to anyone looking for Mackay accom - staff, room and facilities all brilliant.

Great location and wonderful room

We had a large spacious suite with an extensive balcony area. The staff were very nice and an issue with a tripped fuse was fixed quickly. However over the six nights the room was serviced once and we had to ask for supplies.

Nice property. Our instructions were clear as we had a late arrival due to train delays. Room was clean and cool. The accommodation is close to the shops and a walking track that lead you to the Botanic Gardens. Great rooms, and rhe staff were lovely and helpful as we left our bags with reception after our checkout. Great place to stay and very welcoming city.
