The location was great . The bed was the worst bed I have ever slept on avoid level 2 room 8 . It was as hard as a rock , perhaps reception could have mattress toppers on hand should you need it which would have made all the difference from a good stay to a great stay .

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room wasn’t very clean. The carpet was stained and the wall was dirty. These things could easily be rectified. The door handles were worn. The size of the apartment was good and we enjoyed having two bathrooms for two bedrooms.
Enjoyed our stay here and the location was very convenient.

Liked: Room comfort
Great location and amenities. Room looked as though it had water leaks at some point. Carpet stained in patches and smelt musky.
Everything else was very good and well appointed.
Well located and maintained property, would do with a new set of freshers for the room as the smell was strong and unwelcoming at first but overall was a good stay
It was great for the price we paid. Bathroom could do with a bit of a clean (little bit of mould on the roof) check in was easy. Safe parking.

Staff were very obliging
Problem with apartment but moved to another
Needs maintenance repairs asap but other than that was comfortable and convenient and quiet which was perfect for a few big days.
.
Apartment was generaly clean and comfortable except for stains on the carpet and a screen door that wouldn't move.
Staff were very helpful with after hours check in
The room had a strange odour. The internet did not work had to ring for assistance. There was not hot water in the morning. Not a great stay , but room was comfortable and roomy.

The picture in the website showed quite a nice good sized room..
The room was extremely small, I’d say snout 3m x 3.5n .. tiny!
The only saving grace was it WAS clean.. but I will never stay there again.
Stay was ok the apartment needs some attention carpet was stained, the walls had marks and dents in the kitchen area, the shower door requires some adjustment. The dining table was also in need of replacement. Apartment otherwise was comfortable enough and in a handy position to the city, restaurants close by were great would be an ideal location to stay and go to watch the Townsville Cowboys play a match easy walking distance.

Staff at reception was helpful and made checking in easy. The room had dirty used tissues under the bed and couch. Also one of the cleaners looked off chops.
Pool a little dirty and could do with a scoop to clean out leaves and stuff.
Location good as
