4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2012

Stayed here on a work trip, and my experience was positive. The corner room that I had was large and comfortable. It is not a new establishment (3 star), enjoyed the meals, the service was good, and the owner Michael knows how to do business. He is the epitome of efficiency and he would expect the same of his staff.... More

Nice place to stay. We were here overnight, but could have easily spent more time here. Rooms were clean and comfortable. One of the few hotels in Mackay that caters for 'large' families - eg, 2 adults and 3 children. Would visit again. More

Stayed for two nights in a family room. We arrived in the evening & check-in was quick. All the staff we encountered during our stay were really friendly & helpful. Room was on the top floor. Furnishings are dated but really clean. Room had a main living area (sofa, table, chairs & kitchenette) which the kids beds were in, a... More

This is a fairly good motel with great rates and friendly staff. Internet is free (best option is to use a network cable). Motel has a restaurant attached called Romeo and Juliet. I have not tried it yet but will during my next stay. Bed is comfy and the room is very clean. Mini bar available but is shamefully overpriced.... More

I travel to Mackay frequently for business and have stayed at most of the hotels available in the CBD and Marina area, many of which are popular chain hotels. The Shakepeare is my pick of the lot. Yes the rooms are dated, but they are clean and everything is in working order. The staff are extremely friendly and very accommodating... More

I have stayed 3 times at this motel. The staff are rather friendly, but the rooms are very noisy. You can hear through all walls. There is no private balcony or seating area to relax. Food here is great and you get to meet fellow travelers. The rest of our staff stayed at other places but I was booked here... More

Unless you're looking for the city's most modern, chic room to impress an important business client, I expect you'd be quite satisfied with the value here relative to the other options in or near the Mackay CBD or Nebo Rd. Mackay is one of the areas profiting from the mining boom as well as its location along the main north-south... More

I stayed here for three nights on business. Front desk personnel were friendly -- check-in, check-out and ordering room service were a breeze. The one delivering room service was friendly as well. Overall, service was really quite good. As I had to do work at the hotel at night, I had to order room service. The food from the hotel's... More
