Ibis Mackay

It's very close to the airport and the staff were friendly and obliging. Rooms are small, but well-equipped.

I was disappointed to see a couple of prominent stains on the carpet in my room. No odour, but it spoils what was otherwise a fresh and pleasant room. The food is hit and miss and the prices are ambiguous in that they are several dollars more in the restaurant than what you'll see on the website. Different menu items too! And they have an aversion to announcing the price of anything as if you're at the Hilton. I had a nice lunch of pizza and a terrible dinner of chicken schnitzel and chips. The chicken in the schnitzel was flat, only a couple of mm thick and covered in rock hard crumbing. The chips were so overdone they were hard on the outside and hollow inside! The salad that came on the plate with it was really the only edible thing but it was very small. I was hungry and put up with it. Was of course charged several dollars more than the hotel's own website menu. Avoid chips and anything crumbed! I didn't go to breakfast but I passed through to get to the cafe/bar for a coffee and the buffet (for $32) looked fantastic. Meat and cheeses, lots of bakery items etc. The food therefore totally hit and miss. Also, the room temperature is set at 20° in the room (I wanted colder, but at least you can crank the fan up) and the fridge is one of those awful cooler fridges with the glass door - enough said.

I liked that it was so easily accessible from the airport and that it was soundproof. I was able to get a later check out at no extra charge.

The price was a little high for my liking

Easy check in and parking

Fine reasonable and clean, breaky standard

No beer choice and they forgot my entre
