- Black (6/5): Basic motel for overnight stay. - Late check in available, there is a phone number posted at the reception. You can park outside your room. I stayed at this motel three years ago and now it is quite run down. I just needed a basic room for the night while on the road and it was fine for that but I wouldn't choose it for a longer stay.

The motel's location is perfect for exploring Mackay, with easy access to Caneland Central Shopping Centre and other local attractions. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable beds, modern amenities, and lovely garden views.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the motel's facilities, including the outdoor swimming pool and free Wi-Fi, made my stay even more enjoyable. I also appreciated the complimentary private parking and 24-hour reception. No problems
- Kellie (1/5): Will never go back. Do not recommend - Location was the one good thing Sheets were changed but that’s as close as anything getting cleaned in months. Smokers everywhere to the point that inside the closed room you could smell nothing but cigarettes. Everything was filthy, reception was unfriendly. Room was nothing like pictures. Felt unsafe
- Jaymie (1/5): :( - not alot loudest surroundings, very hard bed, shower was hardly a shower, very out dated, cups but no cutlery no plates bowls or anything.
was overall a pretty awful stay.
- Craig (6/5): Pleasant -
- Marks (9/5): Superb -
- Jye (5/5): Passable -
- Kimberley (5/5): it was fine. very basic but it was clean bed and affordable - reasonable pricing for one night stay in mackay the bedding and towels were clean but the actual rooms were not
- Judy (10/5): Was alright for an overnight stay - The rooms were big, clean and tidy.
- Russell (9/5): Enjoyable. - Did not have breakfast due to early business appointments.All in all my nights stay met my expectations based on friends experiences with this motel.Will be back when travelling to Mackay. No complaints.
- Mark (6/5): Pleasant -
- Grant (8/5): Very good -
- Ron (9/5): Excellent stay, staff and facilities were great. -

- Corrie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Oral (9/5): Superb -
- Corrie (10/5): Great accomodation - Staff remembered me from a couple days prior so check in was a breeze
- Red (8/5): Great Value for money. Will stay again for sure - One hotplate did not work(electric 2-plate), so they gave me a new one! How awesome! Super friendly staff that left you alone. Good size room and kitchenette. Aircon straight over the super comfy bed. Lovely. Good firm mattress in number 14. Good pillows. Had great sleeps! Smart TV. Had a 4-pack electric socket bedside! Hooray! Loved it.
Probably not for the fussy, but who wants a fussy teant anyway!!... you can't whinge for the price and location!! Well done! Showerstall has a curtain that sticks to your butt leaving you only 30cm to shower in, unless you want to be wrapped like a mummy... Sew some washers on the curtain bottoms to weigh them down please!!!
Dont drop your soap...If you bend over, the shower curtain wants to have your babies. Gross when you know it's touched every other tenants butt too, and it sure isn't getting washed between visits. Safer to shower with the curtain half open, but water splashing becomes a problem then.
No soap holder or shelf in the shower. Property provides wall mount soap. Byo if you like cake soap.
If you cook: only one saucepan(med)and one frypan (lg) but also has large electric frypan which is a great alternative for larger meals
More than one fork would've been great, I should've op shopped some for you. For a 'sleeps 3 room', should be 3 plates, bowls, cutlery etc. On holiday, I don't want to wash after every use.
- Lynlie (10/5): Quaint, clean and cute - The communication from the motel owners was excellent. The room was perfect for the one night stay. Clean and fully stocked with coffee, sugar, tea and milk. No ice or water in the fridge
- Amy (9/5): I love staying at the cool palms hotel it is in a great place and the rooms are always clean - The room was very clean and comfortable
