Hotel is a bit run down and room had a nasty disinfectant odor. Everything worked but it was Australia Independence Day so that might have been part of the issues

I won’t recommend to many. Lack of information about excitement places, no parking for customers, staff who seems not interested working at the hotel, and no excitement about welcoming guests. Maybe because of long weekend but that’s not a good excuse.

The rooms were a good size however the property had a terrible odour. The shower broke in our room and although reported it was not fixed as was a broken toilet roll holder. The room lighting was very dark and insufficient. Location was ok for what we had to do, the staff, when available were helpful. Would not stay again

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was older and more worn out than photos (which I assume were taken in their remodel in 2016). My bed was not changed once in 10 day stay. Towels were replaced but not always with correct number, trash was taken out but bathroom was never cleaned or floors swept in those 10 days. Room smelled almost of bug spray. Staff at front desk was sometimes there but frequently missing. When I needed a missing towel or bottle water I did get it replaced after asking. Parking was free but limited and tight parking spaces. No real on site dining but places that were walkable. It would be fine for a night or two but would not recommend for a longer stay.

Very good location, free parking

Very convenient location, shops are in walking distances and close to the airport. The A/C unit in the room was quite old and struggling to reduce room temperature. The water pressure in the shower was quite low, they may need to look into it and fix. Breakfast may not be available on public holidays.

Clean and tidy accommodation with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The staff were very helpful and polite. Only downfall was the on-site car parking. It was difficult to park a larger car in the allotted spaces available. Appart from this, my family and I found the Clarion to be a great place to stay in Townsville.

The location was great, staff very friendly, however the bath was dirty (had a black ring around it) the shower gel container was empty, the basin was dirty and there was only one bath towel for 2 people. The bed was extremely soft so we both woke up with sore backs.

There was noone at reception when I arrived at 1630hrs had to wait while there were no other guests except me on a friday. The staff was unwelcoming and rudely declined my request for a late check out stating we are not a fancy hotel where these options are available. Secondly the bathroom was poorly designed as it sipped water into the attached toilet area. There isn’t adequate parking available for a medium sized suv.

We were disappointed that the Greek Restaurant was closed for refurbishment - which was the only reason we stayed here rather than down the road. Knowing that it is now going to be an Italian smorgasboard style place - we won't be back. The parking area was too small for the size of cars in the area.
