Quest Mackay on Gordon
Room was spotless, staff were courteous and accommodating. The only issue or concern was the exit to the parking seemed to be left open which raised concerns for safety. Would definitely stay there again.

Country Plaza Motor Inn
For what i wanted, this was a great stay. Easy to book, room was good and clean. The only issue was the bathroom door would not open fully as tiles had lifted up. But a great location. I was travelling all day and the beds were comfortable and a good nights sleep. I would stay again
