I will stay here again
Arriving late. Sal patiently waited for us. Escorted us to our room and gave us our breakfast as we would be leaving early in the morning before breakfast started. She even gave some extra fruit for my daughter. Sal made sure that we were comfortable and that we were okay. We put the breakfast in the fridge and ordered Chinese for dinner, which was delivered to our room. I had planned on watching some tv but fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. I am a little too tall for the shower but that's okay, the room was great, we felt safe and slept well.
Charming Old Style Motel
We arrived in Mackay in the late afternoon on Boxing Day without reservations, and chose the Coral Sands Motel because of it's charming old style look. The lady at reception was warm and friendly, the room spacious and being centrally located, within walking distance to a bottleshop and serveral pubs. It was very quiet, and unfortunately didn't get to try the pool but it looked inviting.
Great Hosts
This may be an old fashion style motel but that is what we like about it, doesn't try to be something it is not. The room are large and comfortable with top notch house keeping, they even find stuff my wife left behind (LOL). Great outdoor area with pool and BBQ that guests can use and if you forgot your BBQ utensils they will supply those as well. Your hosts will make you feel like family and ensure that you enjoy your visit with them. The location is so close to downtown that you can walk easily to the main business area.
Coral Sands Motel
The rooms at this motel were very reasonable. The QB room I was booked into was a very good size. Friends were staying in a room for 3 adults or a family and that was a good size and clean. My room didn't have a ceiling fan but my friend's room did, and as the aircon was around the corner I'm not sure how effective they would be in summer. The room was fine as I visited in Winter. The reception employee was friendly and quick to book me in. The room isn't serviced on Sundays, but you can exchange your towels at reception. The rooms supply plain arnottd biscuits which is a rarity these days. You can order breakfast if you want. There is a Chinese/Thai restaurant next door and the food was lovely. An Italian restaurant is a short walk away, as are other shops and a convenience store. The MECC (Entertainment Centre is a 5 minute walk away. If I ever visit Mackay again, I would stay in this motel.
Weekend getaway
Spent a few nights here over the weekend. This motel is located within walking distance of the CBD and close to many restaurants and bars. If on a budget, then this is the place for you, very reasonably priced even for the weekend. Rooms may not be 5 star but are clean tidy and beds comfy. Quite location, staff were great and parking (undercover) for all size vehicles ( I had a 4x4). Plenty on street parking as well. Defiantly check it out if looking for a place close to city center.
