What guests think

Across recent reviews for Rydges Mackay Suites, guests consistently praise the central location and friendly staff, while feedback is mixed on room size and noise, cleanliness standards, and the overall condition of some areas.

Breakfast is often enjoyed, though service at the on-site restaurant draws occasional complaints and delays. Parking is easy, but the gym is minimal and some issues like alarms, leaks, and a temperamental lift are noted. Best suited to travellers prioritising a central base over top-to-bottom polish.

As you walk into the lobby, you are greeted by a friendly reception area, and staff. The area is clean, and very well looked after, so my expectations were high. Unfortunately that’s where it ended for the good times. Once we hopped out of the dodgy elevator, we walked the 6th floor hallway to our room. There were holes in walls, doors painted white, while others were varnished timber, windows were not sealing, which made the wind howl, and just a general uncared for vibe amongst the place. Then we got to our room. On the surface it looked fine, until we saw multiple stains on the carpet, a pair of socks under the tv unit, a broken dishwasher, and honestly quite a dated interior. We walked to our bedroom to find that one window above the bed had the locking mechanism broken, so it would not close all the way, leading the the wind and rain absolutely howling through 24/7. I had to sacrifice a shirt to the window just to keep us from getting soaked in bed. Our bedroom door had been punched through at some point, and the nails from where they reattached the door skin were still visible. Not to mention the terrible patch job over the hole. The shower head was the cheapest available, and did an average job, and the lack of furniture on the balcony really made the moss growing stand out. For over $500 a night for a 2 bed apartment, this one is an easy miss. Not anywhere close to what we expected from a Rydges establishment. Won’t be returning!

The carpet needs a good cleaning and shampoo. There were ants everywhere and the joinery doors need adjusting. No chairs on the veranda, and the couch was 2nd rate.

We stayed in a studio for a night before a wedding. The staff allowed us to check in early so that we could get ready in the room before having to leave for the event. The room was clean and big, and the bathroom had good toiletries, as well as a hair dryer and magnifying mirror. Everything in the room worked well. We couldn't hear other guests at all even though the hotel was pretty full. Parking is easy and free. We have stayed before and will stay again!

My initial room was very small. I needed a larger room to allow me to complete some of my work. After talking to the ladies at reception I was up-graded to a larger room which was fantastic. However, there was no outside furniture available to enjoy the night air. Breakfast the next morning was great and enjoyed a late check out. All in all was a nice evening.

The property was in an ok area. From our balcony, we could see graffiti on the building next to us. The room was nice & we really enjoyed our stay here, but the last 24 hours - they had a leak or something in the hallway & the area right outside our room smelled horrible like dead fish or something. Not sure what happened. All in all, we stayed 4 nights & we had a good time. The room was comfortable & was what we expected. Would recommend to anyone staying in this area, just note it’s not perfect.

We have stayed at this hotel regularly. We thought we would eventually get a room with decent shower pressure. Our last stay was the worst by far, with the shower no more than a trickle. This building is relatively new, so there is no excuse for poor water pressure. Low cost hotels on Nebo road have better pressure. I had a bath instead and while relaxing in the bath, noticed how dirty the bathroom was. Anything not in direct eye sight had not been cleaned. The cost of these rooms is above average for Mackay, so we expect better than this. We feel like we will not be staying here again because of this. As we deserve a decent shower for the amount of money we have paid.

Lovely staff, the room was a big disappointment though, from no toilet paper to a dodgy shower head, no plugs in drains and a hit and miss aircon. Things are out dates and in serious need of an upgrade

The room, bed, bathroom, parking were all ok however the aircon vent was filthy and looked like covered in mould. The old $100 deposit to be repaid in 5+ days is rediculous - should be refunded much more quickly.

The first night my son and I were woken up at least ten times. We gave up trying to sleep at 4am. People were just having fun but the coming and going all night was really frustrating. The second night we were kindly moved to a room away from the lifts. By 4am we were up again. The rooms had everything we needed and staff were lovely, but I certainly wouldn't recommend staying there on a weekend if sleep is something you need.
