Pros:

Dirty, noisy. Separated by a different tower from the person I was travelling with and her room was so bad she moved in with me. We were there for business and will never stay there again.

Do not book, rooms are filthy and disgusting!
Pros:

This place was absolutely filthy and there wasn’t a wall which didn’t have a hole or mark on it. There were horrid dirt marks and foot print marks on the walls and mould on the doors. We refused to stay and left before even staying one hour!

Pros:

Friendly service.
In relatively good condition on arrival, however there was rubbish behind, under the beds and on the floors. The carpets and showers did not appear to be vacuumed/sanitised from the previous visitors.
Exhaust fan above the stove was not working and ‘zapped’ one of the visitors hand. Notified the front office, never heard back.

Pros:

Apartment was in poor condition. Washing Machine flooded the apartment. Meant to be Queen bed was just two singles pushed together. No mattress protector. Filthy. Checked out early after washing machine flooded hotel room (was faulty shut off valve was not working), little to no help from staff. Refund has not yet hit my account (4 weeks)

Pros:

This property exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment and it was huge, with lovely views of the river, mountains and stadium. The location is very convenient, walking distance to the Cowboys leagues club and stadium which was the purpose of our trip. There are options within walking distance for dining, takeaway and groceries. Check in and check out was very easy also. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Townsville.

Property was pretty good - the lay out was great. The customer service was very poor and reception was closed most of the time (despite the opening hours on the door).

Back again
Pros:

We have been visiting Townsville for the last 15 years for work and now for health (nothing serious). For the last couple of years Islington at Central has been our preferred place to stay, the apartments are a good size, it's close everything and has secure parking.

Pros:

The apartment had not been cleaned other than the linen changed. There was rubbish on the floor and food scraps. The reception lady was also quite grumpy on check in and out.
