The room was okay for the price point, the pool is lovely and has a great view. Don't forget they are un-manned after 6pm. Reception held onto our bags while we walked around Townville. All staff I meet including the room cleaner, maintenance gentlemen and reception staff were lovley.

Was a bit dirty, the restaurant was closed and has been for years apparently. The paint was coming off the wall, curtains didn’t close all the way and let light in through the night. Not a great experience overall

Overall very good choice for a few days in Townsville. Clean motel style room and bathroom. Good wifi TV etc. Quiet apart from the odd Stone Curlew; but possibly a little noisy if there is a Cowboys game on the weekend. Woolworth’s a short walk away. 10 minutes to restaurants in South Townsville. Staff friendly and could not have been more helpful.
