Shakespeare Motel

I have stayed at the Shakespeare before and it is very well maintained and clean, nice size room, very comfortable bed! It has everything you need and a good location, a walk to the Caneland Central Mall, also the room is very quiet with no street noise! Very good price on the room!

I was travelling and Mackay was my half way stop. It is in a quiet area, clean with helpful staff. Could not fault it. Just what I needed. I found a great place for dinner within easy walking distance. 🙌

As always never disappoint and very happy with the place. Been there and stayed there more than 4 times this year alone and everytime visiting Mackay will always be staying there. Price is reasonable and suitable for both families or business.

Good price, included light breakfast airport shuttle. Pool, large one bedroom units.

Unfortunately we arrived after office was closed so had to call mgr to come give a key rather than emailing me a code to open the key box but we did not have to wait more than a minute. No food available close. The manager offered and did drive us to a mall where we could spend time waiting until out bus time. Room was very clean and modern bathroom looked new. There were breakfast items fir us to use.

This property is a regular for me, it’s not flash but the rooms are large and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. Everything is clean and well presented See you in a few months!

Found the room at the Shakespeare Hotel very clean and well presented. The kitchenette was well equipped. The bed was comfortable. The shower was nice and water was hot. Parking was easy. The only thing that would have made it better was the restaurant operating for breakfast and dinner.

Positives - The bed was comfy, nice and quiet area and in a great location. we walked to The Austral pub for dinner, so busy due to great food and staff. Negatives - The staff were totally rude, the place was so dirty, fingerprints all over the entrance to the office/restaurant so definitely not high touched surfaces cleaned and disinfected. The main reason we chose this place was the price and free breakfast knowing we had a huge drive the next day. They don't have breakfast at all as advertised on the site. We packed and went down for breakfast only for the place to be closed at 8am. No activity in the office or kitchen. I rang when we were out the previous night at 5.51pm to check when the kitchen opened the next morning and left a message for them to ring me back. They didn't. Would not recommend staying at this place at all.

This hotel was ok for what we needed it for, which was a one night stop over on a road trip. Pros: Large hotel room. Breakfast provided (juice, toast, milk, cereal etc). Good location. Cons: Very aged. Toilet ran all night and took a long time to fill. Ants everywhere Mould in the bathroom Very noisy. Felt like I was going to fall through the bathtub and it squeaked while in it. Carpet on the outside areas. We couldn’t get internet to work but we had brought our own which isn’t an issue. The reception left the out of hours phone in the office so could not check out smoothly or get in contact. The whole hotel downstairs was open but only cleaners around.
