Good central hotel.

Good hotel in central location. Only downside is probably more to do with recent Townsville weather. The air-conditioning seemed to struggle and was constantly dripping moisture from the vent. Townsville has seen an awedul lot of rain.

Tv and internet was slow and not working properly. Air-conditioning was permanently set on 20 but the room never went below 25 degrees which made for a very hot and restless night. Tv in bedroom was tiny Bathroom was beautiful though with amazing water pressure.
