“Good room, poor location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

We were pleasantly surprised with the room considering we only spent about $100/night on Wotif. The room had clearly been renovated recently, so the walls were freshly painted, the carpets were new, and the furniture was unmarked. The shower was hot, and the room had all the basics like coffee, tea, a fridge, and a flat-screen tv. The front desk staff even offered us complimentary milk for our room, which was great.

The main drawback is the location. Townsville is built on very steep hills, and even in our mid-20s, they were too steep for us to walk enjoyably. As such, we had to take taxis everywhere. Fortunately, there are restaurants near the Marina, which isn’t too far, and worked out to be about $10 each way. If you have a car, this would be a great place, but taxis really added up for us (plus $20 each way for the airport).

“Very comfortable”

We really enjoyed this hotel, plain and simple. I know that it's not on the Strand but that was better for us (the Strand is full of late-night drunks).

Great bed, great size television, great water pressure, good location to strand and flinders street mall. For those that find hills difficult due to fitness or disability this place does have a steep short climb.

“Peaceful and great value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Most peaceful stay I've had at a motel in a while. Staff were friendly and obliging. We even got to sleep in late without being interrupted early in the morning by housekeeping. Room rate was as cheap as you can find and excellent value for money. Nice and new and clean, and handy to the strand. I felt obliged to leave a comment, as I almost didn't stay here after I read the negative review someone left, but I'm glad I did as their experience must have been the exception, not the norm. I will be staying here again soon, as I visit Townsville regularly

Excellent renovations have really made this a great place to stay. We stayed for the night during a driving holiday and I was very surprised at the great room we got for the price.
