Great views, sitting on the balcony in the afternoon watching the boats was a highlight. The room was well appointed but a bit on the smallish size. The only other downside was the exposed concrete slab as the ceiling, make the room look like it hasn't been finished, All in all the experience was amazing

Good hotel. No frills and no amenities in the bathroom a little poor. Careful this place gets busy/loud on Saturday nights - it’s part of the Casino resort. Great for drinks in bar for sunset and easily near enough to restaurants

Beautiful place to stay, pool was absolutely beautiful for a morning swim and the rooftop restaurant was a relaxing end to a stressful day for us. Balcony was really nice to sit and have a cuppa. Would love to come back.

Beautiful venue with sensational view. Only gripe is nowhere in hotel to get coffee and only instant coffee in room. The combination is not appropriate for a hotel of this standard. Otherwise really liked it.

Fantastic place to stay in Townsville. Free onsite parking and right next door to The Ville for extra dining options though the restaurants onsite are excellent. Rooms are spacious and very well appointed. Recommend spending that little more for an Ocean room so you can see the sunsets each night. Rooftop bar was a perfect spot to kick off the night before going out or for a more casual meal. Cannot recommend enough.

The building is new and looks good. The facilities are a bit lacking as they rely on services from the Casino, which is a short walk. The room service food was very limited and dreadfully overpriced. The place didn’t give us the 5 star luxury feel you would get elsewhere. Staff were accommodating but also very short-staffed. Had to wait 15 minutes for a drink at the rooftop bar and was told could only sit for an hour.
