My stay at Mackay's Hotel had its ups and downs. The staff were undoubtedly friendly and responsive, and my room in the travel lodge was clean and equipped with all I needed. However, the meals left much to be desired, with some dishes overcooked and unappealing. Overall, I appreciated the cleanliness and the helpful service, but I wouldn't make a return visit due to the dining experience.
