“A good place for a stopover”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This motel seems to get a lot of commercial trade so don't expect bargain rates. However, as a tourist, If you're looking for a convenient stopover it's absolutely fine. It's nothing fancy - standard motel setup with clean, functional rooms and friendly staff. It's set back from a busy road with plenty of parking and eating places within walking distance including a supermarket. You'll need your car to get into Townsville centre, which is worth a visit.

“Excellent place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Stayed for 1 night in the 2 bedroom family apartment and was highly impressed with what the room had to offer. The apartment was extremely spacious and very happy with the second bedroom with a huge flat screen tv and a whisper quiet aircon. One of the best I have stayed in will definitely go back.

“The gem of Townsville.”

Stayed here for 1 night with family of four in a two bedroom family room. The rooms were perfect, clean and tidy with a/c, cable TV and free WiFi. The Motel has a nice pool area and clean surround-ings.
On arriving the owners, Emma and David, were very welcoming. The best hosts we had on our 5 weeks trip to Australia. Thank you so much!

I would happily go back and stay at the Colonial Rose.

Stayed her for three nights recently, could not ask for anything more. The owners, Emma and David, are excellent hosts, the rooms a very clean, neat and tidy and the meals in the restaurant are great. The biggest oysters I have seen. Will be staying there again soon.

“Lovely place to stay, Staff fantastic.”

We just recently stayed at the Colonial Rose Motel with 2 children under 5. We had the family room and it was perfect for me and my children. As a mother I felt safe staying there and as the car park was not full with cars in the day time my children rode their scooters and pushed dollies in prams around the place with plenty of room to use some energy. Nothing was ever a problem to the staff, if you needed anything they did their up most best to get it for you. I have stayed with my children in a few motels and I will always be extremely happy to go back and stay at the Colonial Rose.
