I really like this hotel. I’ve stayed a couple of times, the first time I stayed here was a week after it opened so a lot of of the facilities and capabilities of the hotel were not yet fully operational however the pool area is possibly the best in Townsville and the staff and Design of the hotel were top notch. I recently stayed here again a few years after it’s opened and the hotel is still top-notch. Everything works very comfortable. Great design. My only comment is that you need to walk to the next property at The Ville to get breakfast which is a bit disappointing but not the end of the world.
