Motel Paradise Motel

19 Peel St, 4740 Mackay, Australia –

We really appreciate having a comfy bed to sleep in after an 8 hour drive. The hot shower was great too, and was really what we needed after all the stress of driving in such heavy rain.

Rachel, Australia

Close to the austral undercover parking nice coffee

Greg, Australia

The location is centrally located to the malls, shopping centers, cinema and everything O Needed was only $7.50 away via Uber. The staff was nice and friendly and the place was clean. I especially liked having a refrigerator, microwave, clean dishes, coffee maker and a iron and ironing board in the room.

Debra, United States of America

Clean and good value for what I paid. nice big shower. The aircon was nice and cold

Hannah, Australia

Walking distance to all amenities. Host were very nice and friendly.

Simon, Australia

Leaving!!!! The location is okay and a walk down the road leads to a Canelands shopping centre and pioneer river walk and lagoon pools.

If you stay in an upstairs room you can sit on the balcony, drink a cold beer and watch the parrots come home to roost in the trees opposite as the sun sets. Plus, the guy who runs the place booked a cab for me which turned up on time.

“Dreadful Experience ”

There is no way this is a 3 star motel. I suspect if our room was rated it would be lucky with a score at all, maybe 1 star! The furniture particle board was water affected, dirt and dust was caked on the skirting board, paint everywhere was peeling and the curtains were rotting on the collapsing curtain rods. Lights buzzed, carpet was filthy, blankets had cigarette burns, louvers couldn't keep out noise.
It's location was OK, good hot water

Its the first time that I’ve stayed in a motel where a brothel was running out if some of the downstairs rooms. It was embarassing as I had my wife with me. As a consequence I would not recommend this motel for couples and especially not for families with children.
It was ordinary.

worst experience. We booked and payed for two nights. We left the first morning. On our first night we had a knock at our door at 2am, it was the man from the admin. Incredibly drunk. He started an argument with my partner trying to tell us we had broken the fly screen off of the window, when we had not. He tried to charge us for it. Old food in the fridges, hadn’t been cleaned at all. It was absolutely appalling. Wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

“Stay elsewhere. ”
- • Business trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Queen Room
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
From the moment I arrived I noticed the unkempt grounds. The room door opens on its own which is startling at times if I forgot to put chain over door lock. The bathroom slightly mouldy. Not sure if any cleaning products are used at all. Every cup and price of cutlery was dirty. Particularly the burnt out spoons!!! Blankets on bed stink and are overdue for a wash. But worse of all was the staff on duty completely drug affected and at all not friendly, nor approachable or accommodating. Drug dealings take place during the day with several locals stopping by to wait around to score. No discretion at all in their activity. Then more traffic than a maccas drive thru after dark. Staff have no local knowledge and people skills to finish a sentence so dont waist your breathe asking anything. If paying paying in cash do not expect to receive change. Didnt have a good night's sleep as doors closing and people walking past all night. No windows just loovers made it feel as though I was sleeping outside. Also the sign out front claims to provide 24/7 massage from $40 I could not find entrance to the massage parlour to book a massage either.
Leaving!!!! The location is okay and a walk down the road leads to a Canelands shopping centre and pioneer river walk and lagoon pools.

With the best will in the world, Mackay is not the most exciting place to stay. I gave it a try, but in all honesty my time would have been better spent elsewhere. For a tourist, there is virtually nothing to do.

With out a doubt this was the crappyest place I have ever stayed. The office was not attended, the room had not been made up, the cleaning lady borrowed my shower head as someone’s was not working. She was so embarrassed I felt sorry for her working at the place. It’s under new management so perhaps it might improve but I think the new owners got a bargain and do not intend spending a penny.
