Hotels near Summerland park, Townsville

I was expecting a spa bath like the photos on the internet of it

Start with positives, clean rooms (inside) location right on the beach, wifi works well, communication about our deluxe room not being suitable for booking with pet The negatives paid for a premium ocean room upfront for 4 nights and was assured on phone would be swapped out for a similar standard as had a small dog, what we got was a room straight out of the 80s, a family room with 3 beds no less. When we queried it, was told this is our best option as other rooms were literally just a bed, and much smaller. Ok, we thought not ideal and felt a bit ripped off, but our choice was to travel with our dog so ok work with it. Then the real crap started, our room was right next door to a kitchen of a busy restaurant, the restaurant used external ( I hope temporary ) refrigeration that was you guessed it parked outside our room. On one side of our door old boxes and other restaurant clutter, the other a compressor going off attached to a refrigerated trailer (one of 2). Then the poor staff had to walk past the room window over 80 times (we counted one night) each time 2 doors creaking and slamming to get provisions, this would go on until approx 11:30pm every night. The real fun was renovations in the same restaurant starting with drills at 7am, but it was okay as the mattresses (remember we had 3 beds for us both) kept us awake anyhow, as they were as old as the 80s decor and went some way to keeping a 30-year-old marriage in form, as we rolled towards each others embrace at every opportunity in the pit that I think was the middle. We left a day early tempted to give the room away but figured why share the misery? I wouldn't normally write a review as having worked in tourism and owned tourism businesses, I know it can sometimes be a bit hard to get things right, but having had a chat 3 times felt compelled as they simply couldn't give a shiiiite, offered no partial refund nor even a 10% dinner discount. Citing you used *********** smile bs more smiles, more bs can't do anything *BS did I mention work in tourism Up ya game, I won't even mention how the pool looked compared to marketing photos, makes me laugh too much, if I was so sleep deprived I would bother to upload photos.

The location is right on the strand of the beach. The sunset is very beautiful at dusk. It is also very convenient to go to the coffee shop to the supermarket and walk for 10 minutes. Buy all the daily necessities and sit on the terrace to watch the sunset until dusk, which is pleasing to the eyes. As for the service, there is basically nothing except Check In. It's not like living in a hotel in the Asia-Pacific region, with five-star service In terms of price, in terms of 1000 heads, it does not include anything. It is really because there is no choice.

It was a good hotel Because of the structure connected to the next room Sound insulation may not be good

Apartment was clean, bed was king size which was good but only had 2 pillows total (no spares in the cupboard). Fold out bed sofa was uncomfortable. Bathroom was clean and practical, good pressure in the shower. Kitchen good but a small tv in bedroom would have been nice. Little pricey as it world champs ‘run the reef’ which we didn’t know about when we booked !

If you are here in Townsville, choose this one, don’t hesitate, because this one has a fully functioning air conditioner. If there is no air conditioner in Townsville, or the temperature of the air conditioner is locked, it will keep you all night. Can't sleep at night. The girl at the front desk was very enthusiastic.

We had a couple of nights in Townsville and this hotel was a good location to easily walk around the sites of the city. We arrived early to check in, rooms not ready but were happy to store our luggage while we went out for lunch. Staff very pleasant at check in - but as seems the norm questions asked about if it was our first time in Townsville (and it was) and if we needed directions, information etc. Rooms clean & tidy, sufficient toiletries, view from tiny balcony over side street. Lounge chair very low to ground and very uncomfortable. Bed very comfortable. Wifi very fast. Hotel located within walking distance of most of the sites of Townsville. No breakfast supplied but restaurants in close proximity.

We have been using Rydges SouthBank as our home base for quite a few years now due to its close proximity to the Football stadium and it is within walking distance to town and various eating places. We usually stay in the top grade rooms some of which have been updated and some are badly in need of an update. Luck of the draw which room you get allocated although they all cost the same regardless of fittings. We have found the staff to be friendly and helpful most of the time. We enjoy their Buffett breakfast and as Rydges members we get that as a 2 for one deal. Unfortunately their restaurant is no longer operational so the other perks of being Rydges members cannot be used. We do like the undercover off street parking for our car.

Our “Ocean Corner Suite” at the Ardo was without doubt one of the best accommodation packages that we have ever had the privilege of staying in. The room and views were exceptional. The staff were amazing and were happy and knowledgeable in all our conversations. The “Roof Top Bar” is highly recommended at sunset with the food being amazing. The dinner that we had at”Terasu” was an amazing experience. Overall the best stay that we have had anywhere in Australia. Highly recommended, we will be back.

The hotel is located 20 meters from where the ferry leaves you from Townsville, so it is not necessary to have the car on the island, although if you bring it to the door of the hotel there is free parking for up to 3 days. The hotel is composed of several blocks, some with simple rooms, others with more or less large apartments. It has a giant pool. The access to the room is by stairs, there is the option of using an elevator, but it can catch you away and not avoid all the stairs, as in our case. Reception staff and lovely bar / restaurant employees.
