Great accomodation close to everything
Pros:

The Palmer Collective was a great place to be based when in Townsville. Quick and easy to get to from the airport.. great location close to all sorts of eating and drinking options too.
Was greeted with great service at Reception and continued throughout the stay. Room perfect for this 2 night business stay with stable internet and great desk space to work at.
