While the room was clean and tidy we found it quite dated. Mould in the shower, light switches were a bit dodgy and balcony was not very clean. Limited selection of mains on the dinner menu. We paid an additional $50 for breakfast, but were told we were limited to only $30 any thing over that we had to pay additional. Staff were very polite and helpful. I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

If the Mantra are not happy letting Wotif market their rooms cheaper than they charge - dont do it! Simple, there are plenty of other motels that welcome Wotif customers and demonstrate that the customer is important regardless on what the customer has used as a marketing research tool and payment mechanism.

An excellent place to stay

This was our first time staying at the Mantra Mackay and hopefully it will not be our last. Normally we stay in town near the highway but this time we tried the marina precinct and were very happy with our choice of the Mantra. The staff were friendly and the room was excellent. The bars and restaurants along the waterfront were great. We are looking forward to another visit before too much longer, and hopefully for more than just one night on the way through.
