The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Townsville town centre, making it comfortable for travelers who want to be close to everything. The rooms are well-maintained, clean, and come with plenty of amenities. The young receptionist was very helpful and demonstrated great customer service with a smile; however, it seemed not all staff cared about clients' needs. The dining experience included risotto, which was a nice touch, and the facilities were sufficient. The pricing offered good value for money.
