Detailed Reviews
We booked for 2 nights at the Castle Crest Motel and ended up staying an extra night. After travelling for 2 weeks in the Queensland Outback this has been by far the best accommodation we have stayed in. We were welcomed by Denise who couldn’t be more friendly and helpful in assisting us during our stay and recommending things to do in Townsville. Our room was spotlessly clean and had a large bathroom, good kitchen with toaster, microwave, kitchen sink and a good sized fridge. We had an upstairs unit with 2 windows which let a lovely sea breeze in and lots of light which was great after staying in many dungeon like motels. The motel had a pool which we didn’t get to use. A good laundry. Within walking distance to The Strand, Jezzine Barracks, Rock Pool and a great fish & chips shop was just up the road. I would highly recommend this motel and hope to return one day soon. Thanks Denise for a great stay.

I stayed here to attend an athletics event. It is very close to the athletics facility (5-7 minute walk). It is also very handy for food - there is a supermarket and fish & chip shop on the next street corner and a Thai restaurant just up the road. There was a major football event in Townsville the same weekend and the internet was showing all rooms in Townsville as fully booked-out. I phoned the Manager, Denise who magically found a room for me at a great price. Very clean and tidy. I will be staying here in the future whenever I am competing in or attending athletics events in Townsville in the future.

Denise the manager is a gem - so helpful and informed. The rooms were spacious, spotless, quiet and seriously comfortable.
The location was close to The Town Common, Queens Park and Kissing Point for birdwatching and filming. Great fish and chips at the shop a short walk away, and close to local bus routes. I stayed on two occasions and was wrapped by the hospitality of Denise and Ian. I highly recommend Castle Crest Motel and will certainly stay there on future visits to Townsville

Despite the Expedia booking of a Motel Queen room, we were booked into a room for the disabled. The receptionist queried our booking and looked for an alternative, but decided that was the best option, which we found to be very good. We stayed for one night. The room and associated bathroom were quite large because of there special purpose. The room had a queen and a king bed and was very clean and well maintained. A cooktop, microwave, full size refrigerator, toaster, electric kettle were all available. While not needing the special features, we found the room to be very comfortable and spacious. While close to a main road, it was very quiet. The motel was within an easy walk to the Strand, which we benefitted from as we strolled along the Strand viewing the sea and a sculpture competition. A very pleasant stay.

This was a excellent experience after previously staying at some pretty poorly run and grotty Motels. The lady running the Motel couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and was not the usual low standard fit out. Unusually a full size fridge freezer, better quality fixtures and fittings all in good condition. A very comfy queen bed etc., Free laundry which again was well kept and clean. Good location, Coles Supermarket nearby, good restaurants and esplanade within easy reach. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Denise is the perfect hostess. The complex and rooms are spotless and modern. The Castle Crest Motel is close to The Strand, restaurants, the airport and on a great arterial road to the city and all attractions that the North Ward suburb is known for. Thank you for all Denise

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Castle Crest Motel. Denise as always was welcoming and helpful, especially as our car had broken down, we had to wait for a hire car, and arrived at the motel at 7pm. We had an upstairs room looking over the courtyard and it was extremely quiet. The rooms are modern and immaculate.
Hint 1: Ask for an extra blanket it your are a north Queenslander when staying there during an extreme cold snap.
Hint 2: There is a great fish and chip shop within walking distance that closes at 8pm.

Castle Crest Motel is in a great location, is spotlessly clean, and is well equipped with everything you could need for one night or a week! Tanya was very welcoming when we arrived. Short 5-10 min walk down to the main beach front where there are a number of bars etc.

The manager Denise was friendly and helpful. We were in an upstairs unit, king size bed. Very quiet location. Room is modern and spotless, and smelt clean! Complimentary tea, coffee, milk and water. Car parking included. A great price too. Walking distance to a top fish and chip shop. Will stay here again.
