Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, though clean and maintained, were smaller than expected for a King Room and had an annoying internal humming/vibration that kept me up at night. The service was a highlight with helpful staff who looked after me well. The location was convenient, but not as ideal as staying closer to the Strand. The dining options were decent but lacked warmth in the food. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel's location is its main highlight, being close to many eateries and having easy access to Townsville. While the rooms were noisy due to their proximity to a lively pub, the option to contribute to the Turtle hospital by forgoing room servicing is a positive initiative.
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of town, restaurants, and shops. The rooms showed some wear and tear, and noise from the road and nearby bars could be bothersome at night. The cleanliness could be improved, especially with west-facing windows limiting balcony use.
The hotel is in a convenient area, ideal for exploring the CBD and enjoying the vibrant nightlife. The rooms are spacious but experienced delays in readiness. The service is top-notch, with friendly staff and great views from the balcony. The location offers easy access to restaurants, bars, and shops. Dining options are satisfactory, especially enjoying coffee across the road. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor room readiness issues.
