Overall good
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful and Room was spacious, clean and tidy.

Cons:

There were no rails for people with disability, so every bathroom needs to have rails especially beside toilet areas and in shower units for elderly people with disability who travel. The outside balcony rail/ledge needed cleaning.

Another great hotel to stay at in Mackay
Pros:

Whilst I had use of a disabled bathroom, I really didn't need the space. A truly disabled person may have missed out.

Pros:

Nice apartment layout with balcony. Staff very pleasant, good carpark.

Cons:

Maintenance Required. These comments may sound pedantic but it's the small things that count (and don't cost too much to remedy):
Very poor internet that kept disconnecting (but was being upgraded the week we were at the apartment).
Old double bed was uncomfortable and should have been replaced years ago.
Door to bathroom would not shut properly (had swollen through dampness as bathroom fan inadequate).
Terylene curtain ripped and one had been removed and not replaced in bedroom.
Wicker on outdoor chairs broken and need replacing.
Toaster old and pop-up not functioning properly.
Screen door to deck ripped, door to apartment would not close fully (which we didn't realise and it was ajar (unlocked) when we returned to the apartment).
