Good value for money, close to everything
Pros:

Location was great, close walk to everything we needed, very comfortable.

Cons:

The increase in price when the football is on is not acceptable. Normal stay on any other weekend might be $160-$180 per night, but when the footy is on it was $370 for a night.

Pros:

Very handy to all bars and restaurants. Quick stroll to city. And lovely walkways along the river. Great brewery next door. A must visit. Buffet breakfast available across the road at Rydges for $25.

Cons:

No balconies but that isn't a bad thing makes to check the outdoors.

Great location in the heart of the food street.
Pros:

Location has to be the best on Palmer street.
Modern style in hotel and room, comfortable bed after exploring Townsville.

Cons:

Not enough secured car parks and had to park on the street, one of those times two blocks away. I booked here because of the secured parking, which I only had half the time.
Bathrooms need renovation, and need to clean under the shower door sill as green slim was coming out.

The staff were lovely and very helpful. The room was clean and good value for money. I would stay again.
Pros:

The staff were excellent.

Cons:

The rooms were smaller than most hotel rooms and dark and the view of the car park was bland. I ordered pancakes from the restaurant and they were not fluffy pancakes but appeared to be more like a cake mixture and I could not eat them.
