"Very friendly staff, large comfortable room (king executive room), central location, we used taxi from airport ($30) as we arrived too late for shuttle bus. Hotel decor looks well kept, not old, but colours are drab & lacking warmth & giving it an old fashioned feel, everything in the corridors & the room was brown. A bit of colour would brighten up a stay. It’s saving grace was the large windows. We had a small balcony on 18th floor it was very windy up there.
Rooftop pool was great with fantastic views.
Enjoyed a delicious buffet breakfast with plenty of options. We were particularly grateful to see so many gluten free options at breakfast. Hot drinks weren’t great- hot chocolate very weak & watery & tea also weak ( perhaps water from dispenser wasn’t hot enough to brew a decent cup).
Enjoyed our stay and will return if in Townsville again

"A perfect location for all the strand has to offer. Leonie was very helpful with my needs regarding my disability. A very good pleasant place... Rooms were sound proofed... Lovely pool and gardens and a stones throw from the beach. Gated car parking, undercover. "
