What guests think

Across recent reviews of Oaks Mackay Carlyle Suites, guests frequently praise friendly, helpful reception staff and generally clean, spacious apartments, while noting mixed views on location convenience and some maintenance or cleanliness issues in certain rooms and areas.

Facilities draw positive mentions for the pool and parking, but one review reported the pool being unavailable and another noted a broken carpark roller door that raised security concerns. Room comfort and design are often appreciated, yet several guests reported nighttime noise and limited soundproofing. Overall, expect generally modern, roomy apartments with friendly service, but check room placement and facility status if you are sensitive to noise or security.

Great Place to stay, awesome pool and comfortable rooms and off street parking. Close to coles and other food options. A short drive to Mackay skatepark, shopping centre and lagoon. We will be back!

Accommodation in Mackay can get quite pricey, but the Carlyle has all the same facilities - pool, great rooms etc - for a lot less than I am used to paying. Won't be staying anywhere else moving forward - glad I found this little gem!

Over priced, dirty and outdated. The property felt more like a jail then a hotel. The room smelt and the aircon wasnt working, making for a really uncomfortable stay. The pool also isnt available, this again was falsely advertised online. The hand towels in our bathroom were stained and everything just felt dirty. Highly recommend booking elsewhere. Not an enjoyable experience.

The room itself was clean and spacious, bed and pillows extremely comfortable. We had our car parked in the undercover carpark however the rollerdoor wasnt working so people could access the carpark, the next morning each on of our canopy handles was opened where someone had tried to gain entry (they didnt thank god) food options were limited unless you wanted to walk atleast 800m but they do have menulog so we got food delivered. It was only noisy because the fire station is next door

Booking and check-in were straight forward, easy and professional. Room: clean with exception of crockery (dishes) and glasses, which we had to wash. This may be a consequence of only a single sachet of dishwashing liquid and a single dishwasher capsule being provided for multi-day stays. Maybe the hotel would consider providing sufficient washing liguid/capsules for length of stay. Overall, the apartment was very clean, well appointed and quiet. We would recommend this property, and will stay again. Check Out: straight forward with no delays.

Ok as a last option. Rooms are modern, but tired and worn. Found a few stray pubes in the beds and shower. The lounge furniture, not great.(actually looked like someone died in the single seater at some point) Not what I expected for a 300 per night room. Being from out west, We are frequent motel users in Mackay, we normally stay in cheaper rooms. Thought we would “lash out” this time, what a waste of money! Don’t be fooled by pictures. Probably one of the worst we’ve stayed at in Mackay

The apartment was clean and generality comfortable with a well equipped kitchen, except a coffee plunger would have been desirable. However, the mattress was hard and uncomfortable. It needed a soft top. We were disappointed to see that there was no provision for re-cycling. Everything went to landfill! Not good enough!!

The apartment was fine it was clean and had everything we needed. The only downside was the screen door to the balcony wouldn’t open properly, the tiles on the balcony floor were all lifting up and could be a trip hazard. The balcony also needed a good pressure clean.

We really liked the interior and design of the 1 bedroom apartment we stayed in. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised that the apartment absolutely corresponded to the photographs presented on the hotel website. (It often happens that everything looks beautiful in the photo, but not in reality). All furniture is in excellent condition, clean, cozy, comfortable. Another nice addition is that the hotel is located near the Queen's Park, that is convenient for morning walks or exercise.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. The main bedroom had 2 windows. One big set with an extensive amount of bird poo on the outside- it was disgusting. The other window had no curtains or blind on it and let the outside lights in all night, and the sun at 5am, and it rattled in the wind. The other bedroom had a bed that was uneven. I will be asking Expedia for a partial refund as we could not use the 2nd bedroom which I paid good money for.

The room itself was clean and spacious, bed and pillows extremely comfortable. We had our car parked in the undercover carpark however the rollerdoor wasnt working so people could access the carpark, the next morning each on of our canopy handles was opened where someone had tried to gain entry (they didnt thank god) food options were limited unless you wanted to walk atleast 800m but they do have menulog so we got food delivered. It was only noisy because the fire station is next door
