Three nights in a row people incredibly loud in corridor. Leaving rooms to not disturb guess their spous-long loud phone calls. Others leaving for perhaps mining flights etc. 20 minute briefs-I timed one... I with recent shoulder surgery not really wanting to stick head out and ask politely to pipe down. Yes could have complained to a poor desk staff, perhaps got a discount. There was also a special needs person on floor, didnt want their occasional outburst-which had sympathy for see them face grief for the other multiple loud hallway traffic. As part refit-put in a noise detector... I am ex Artillery so a little deaf btw. Blanket policy... Is not the daily rate plus the swiped 200 security enough for a blanket without going to reception to deposit 25? If really must do it-tell people on check in... Hopefully post refit a toaster be in room. Or on day two and three the nice person who emptied bin, chuck couple coffee and sugar to refill. Sorry for verbose input. Nice polite desk staff-but did not complain at 2-6am

I booked at 730 am for tonight, by 1pm was in the ED ( not on hotel grounds) and will have a joint replaced tomorrow. A lovely reception lady took my call and with empathy will see if I can get a room credit or refund. Can't really ask for more-thankyou

Easy street parking now in the off season (early August). We had a family room-one closed bedroom with a queen bed, there is a double bed and a single bed in the spacious common area. The common room has 2 armchairs that could use new upholstery and a desk. Lots of light. Toilet has its own room-convenient for multiple people. The bathroom was newly renovated-new tiles, new shower and new vanity-all very nice. The shower head is only a rain shower so bring a shower cap if you don’t want to wet your hair. The shower water pressure was great. Walls a little thin and you can hear outside traffic because of single pane windows. But in the closed bedroom you can’t hear the other guests in the hotel. The teenagers sleeping in the common room hear nothing when asleep. The beds were comfortable enough and big bonus-enough pillows provided for 2 each-this is rare! The place was fine for sleeping and exploring Townsville.

Convenient location. Very poor condition with the bedding. The pillows were disgusting looked and felt like 50 years old. The quilt had holes in it and no cover just a sheet laid over it. When the neighbours showered the noise in our room was disgusting it was that loud and not from the people, it was the shower running noise. No PowerPoint for the bedside lamp on one side of the bed. When the staff cane in and changed the towels they didn't touch the bed😔 The $500 hold on the credit card is a bit over the top as well.
