10/10 Exceptional

We arrived just before close the reception but Nicole was very friendly and warm welcomed us! The room was clean, comfortable bed and quiet.
Tomoe, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I booked and stayed one night, checking out the next morning. Lucas was great through that experience. I ended up needing to stay in Townsville for another night and booked again without hesitation. Again, Lucas was fantastic. Also, based on what i saw of other places online, this provides real value for money. The location just off the Strand is perfect. I highly recommend you book without hesitation.
