Reasonable hotel in a great location on Palmer Street
Pros:

Clean room and comfy bed

Cons:

Property is a bit dated and needs a reno. Room needs to have double glazed balcony doors as it was quite noisy with the pub across the road at night!. Wasn't a fan of the room being connected to a shared foyer with another room next door was quite noisy when other room occupants entered shared foyer and doors slamming. Also shared walls are quite thing so can hear neighbours!

Sehr zentral gelegen.
Pros:

Zentrale Lage, gut ausgestattetes Zimmer mit Schreibtisch; ansonsten wenig Ablagefläche. Bequemes Bett. Besonders gut: der kleine Balkon mit Sitzgelegenheit und Tischchen für zwei. Modernes Bad mit guten Pflegeprodukten. Sehr netter Nachtschicht-Rezeptionist.

Cons:

Die Flure sehen aus wie im Bettenbunker der 70er. Eine super schwere Tür führt in einen Mini-Flur von dem zwei weitere schwere Türen zu zwei Zimmern abgehen. Es ist kompliziert, dort mit Gepäck durchzukommen.
Morgens am Abreisetag versuchte jemand ultra früh mit Schlüsselkarte unser Zimmer zu öffnen, obwohl wir von innen widersprachen. Ob der Zimmerservice am Abreisetag ultra früh zu uns wollte oder ein Gast so weit gekommen war, ließ sich nicht klären.
Das Parkhaus ist eng und recht teuer.

Pros:

Location is great. Handy to restaurants, strand and town.

Cons:

My partner was in Townsville for surgery and was expected to spend a lot of time in the room. Unfortunately TV reception and functions were not good at all. Washer/dryer broken.
