I had been warned to pick a place on the way to Cairns and book it for the night as accommodation in Mackay is very tight with the mining boom. After I made the booking I read a bad review. It certainly wasn't that bad. The place is showing its age, but it has been tarted up quite a bit. It was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The price was reasonable. I used the restaurant for dinner as well and the meal was reasonable.
