Great position - not so great building
This is a very old building that is no longer suitable for stays. The parking is terrible for larger four wheel drive vehicles. Appears to be a large block of ground the should be redeveloped as it is in a great position.

The swimming pool has a few broken tiles, but it’s still a great temperature and inviting. Room and bathroom were very clean.

What a sweet little motel. Right on the esplanade that runs along Townsville's strand, this little gem is a budget-priced facility with a big heart and heaps of character. It's no-frills, but each room is well thought-out. There's a microwave, crockery and cutlery, fan as well as air conditioning (and functioning windows so you can catch the sea breeze). It's quiet, it has its own cafe open for breakfast, and a tonne of parking. There's even a pool. It's nowhere near as fancy as other places, but it's also nowhere near the price. Will definitely stay again. Perfect location, surrounding by cafes and the pub, a Coles, bottle shop and everything else you'd need for a comfortable stay.

Property was older than I expected and had an 'old' and 'stuffy' smell. Price charged was too high for age of property.

Ok in parts, horrible in parts
Check in was a nightmare after being told room was cancelled and prepaid bookings not accepted and receptionist having to chase their toddler inside multiple times. Room was tidy enough, however was awoken the next morning to fighting, yelling and screaming down the hallway which required me to ring the police as there was no way out of the room when the fighting moved down the hallway. I understand that the fighting was out of the hotel’s control, however it would have been nice for them to check that we were ok, as I was quite shaken and had to ring the police. There is also a lack of car parking spaces, however I’m almost thankful for parking on the road given the location of the fighting which went from down the hall, past our room, down the stairs and into the car park.

Property is old, and light from the hallway shines in around all 4 sides of the door. Squeaky fan means that essential breeze is reduced to reliance on ac.
