Property was in good condition, staff member was really nice. Gym advertises a gym but found out upon arrival that they no longer have one. Room smelled a bit damp, but was spacious and comfortable for a 3 night stay.

This property included parking in the price which is great. Unfortunately the property looks shabby and unkempt from outside and is decorated in very miserable colours inside giving it a dated feel.

From the minute we stepped in the door we were given excellent customer service by the friendly staff. The room was a good size. Very clean comfortable. Good value for money. Would stay there again. Shower pressure was light on. Everything else very good. Recommend staying there. Restaurant Greek food was awesome for the price.

The property was very clean. So much so that the aroma of bleach is quite strong. But what can I say, I guess that's preferable to it not being clean. Reception staff are lovely and helpful and on the Saturday night I stayed it was very quiet and the beds are very comfortable.

Property is over priced. No secure parking and there are numerous homeless shelters surrounding the property so we were concerned leaving our car at night. Musty smelling room and mould in shower.

Hi Melissa, To address some of your concerns regarding your stay please see below. The rate for your double queen room (2 queen beds) is the going rate in Townsville at this time. There is an apartment complex 1km away for disadvantage people but this is not a homeless shelter, it is reduced priced accomodation. I would like to note that we do have CCTV in both of our carparks and the Police Head Quarters directly across the road. Regarding your room, there was no mould in the shower and I have informed the cleaners to spray a smelling agent to reduce the "musty" smell, even though we did not find it present in the room.

We booked this room specifically because it had a bath - that didn't work! Television is set to maximum 20 volume so we could hardly hear it! Car parks both below and above ground were a joke to try and park in so ended up leaving car across the street. Trying to get suitcases from above ground car park was dangerous due to the very steep entrance. Road noise was heard in room as was noise from other rooms. Hall outside room was very dingy and poorly lit. Have cancelled our future booking. Requested full refund but hotel manager Jesse refused it.

Response from Jesse on 25 June 2022
Good Morning Robert, The bath was useable as it was checked after you checked out. It was explained to you that the TV volume was limited to 20 as it would disturb the other guests, something you stated that you heard other guests in their room. Upon checking the volume, it is quite loud at 20. We have no control of the traffic outside, but having stayed in the hotel myself many, MANY times, it is not an something easily heard, especially on level 2. For someone who had complained they could not hear the TV due to the limit set and then complained about the volume of noise outside the bedroom, seems to be contradicting. The car park was explained upon you checking in and there is even a loading zone at the reception doors for ease of bringing luggage into the hotel. We have many guests stay with us and have no issues getting in and out of our car parks. I refused a "substantial" refund of $100 as you already received one for $26 due to the mixer not working, but the bath could have been filled with the shower head, which detatches from the wall. Why should we issue a full refund due to your physical attributes and you stayed the complete night? You were quite ok to use our complimentary ammenities such as soaps, shampoos, conditioner, body lotion, milk, tea, coffee and bottled water, and then ask for more! You were even ok to stay at the hotel the entire night. While we tell most of our guests that we wish to see them again, we are quite ok not to have you return with your racist slurs. Kind Regards The Typical Aussie. Jesse

We were happy with our stay. Only minor issues were no microwave oven, rather small window - very different from the pics! Place was clean, good modern room, just needs more light. Quite convenient to restaurants etc.

Worth a look
Not sure if staff are supposed to wear a mask but none worn. There was only minimal toilet paper on roll and no spare. Hotel is in a good position close to shops. No covered parking for large cars.

Hi James, We are sorry about the toilet paper situation. Please rest assured this is a once off occurance and the staff have been notified. Regarding face masks, under Queensland Health Guidelines accommodation staff are not required to wear masks. Thank you for your stay and we hope to see you again. Kind Regards

Room, facilities everything was extremely comfortable. One of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. Only issue is the tight (and lack of) parking. Bring your driving skills if parking.
