We always stay in cheap and cheerful accommodation and have low expectations. Our stay was very quiet and the shower was lovely. We did not stay longer due to all the cockroaches and crawling bugs throughout the cupboards and crawling in the bed. There was power point hanging dangerously out of the wall. There was an unsatisfactory redneck behaviour of other guests spitting over the balconies and throwing rubbish over too. It’s such a lovely spot and a gorgeous historical building however.

I booked and stayed one night, checking out the next morning. Lucas was great through that experience. I ended up needing to stay in Townsville for another night and booked again without hesitation. Again, Lucas was fantastic. Also, based on what i saw of other places online, this provides real value for money. The location just off the Strand is perfect. I highly recommend you book without hesitation.
