This property exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment and it was huge, with lovely views of the river, mountains and stadium. The location is very convenient, walking distance to the Cowboys leagues club and stadium which was the purpose of our trip. There are options within walking distance for dining, takeaway and groceries. Check in and check out was very easy also. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Townsville.

Back again

We have been visiting Townsville for the last 15 years for work and now for health (nothing serious). For the last couple of years Islington at Central has been our preferred place to stay, the apartments are a good size, it's close everything and has secure parking.

Do not book, rooms are filthy and disgusting!

This place was absolutely filthy and there wasn’t a wall which didn’t have a hole or mark on it. There were horrid dirt marks and foot print marks on the walls and mould on the doors. We refused to stay and left before even staying one hour!

Friendly service. In relatively good condition on arrival, however there was rubbish behind, under the beds and on the floors. The carpets and showers did not appear to be vacuumed/sanitised from the previous visitors. Exhaust fan above the stove was not working and ‘zapped’ one of the visitors hand. Notified the front office, never heard back.

Motel was in an excellent spot, very quiet and peaceful, walk to football stadium and Main Street, however, while our room looked clean at first glance there were stains on curtains and carpet, and the shower needed a super good scrub, our toaster shorted out the power, it was replaced by not a new one, but a really old toaster that was found in a cupboard somewhere, I could have bought a new one at Kmart for $7.50!, the staff on reception were all very nice, and I guess they could only work with what they had. All over but we had a good stay.
