The hotel is located within the Mackay Airport precinct - a short walk from the main terminal building.  It is the only Accor (Ibis) branded hotel between Yeppoon and Townsville.

Reservations are reportedly steady so far for the hotel with mostly loyalty bookings thus far.  Staff recruitment is complete, room fit outs and any those final touches have recently been completed.
