Would stay there again for the convenience, especially as the football stadium is a short walk away.
Pros:

We were given an upgrade on arrival (top floor corner room). Upon entering the room we found it to be a large spacious room with a balcony overlooking Palmer St, South Townsville. Although the street below is filled with food venues and hotels the noise was barely heard inside the room (even the world cup soccer noise). The size of the room, wifi, beds and everything in the room was peaceful and no issues.

Cons:

Paying for parking was a surprise but one we did as we had a brand new car which was less than an hour old on check in. Worth it in our case.

Pros:

I like that its central and right across the road from the footy stadium. Wonderful restaurants just a couple of doors down. Safe parking, we chose to park undercover, our car was totally safe and secure.
Friendly staff and very helpful. I loved the room decore and the bed was very comfortable. We are definitely going to come back again, this time with the whole family, thank you Grand Hotel, Townsville.

Cons:

Only one thing I didnt like was having to open 2 doors before entering our room. The area is too small, and we had alot of bags and we had to hold the doors open.
