    I stay at the Madison as it is affordable for a quick nights stay in Townsville. It always has clean bed sheets and clean bathroom. Most of the rooms I have stayed in are dated but I’m usually looking for a bed to sleep it not a room to spend my night in. My room this stay had damaged carpet under one of the bed legs but this didn’t by any means ruin my stay! The reception girls are lovely and efficient and I always check the availability here before any other hotel in Townsville.

    Free parking close to our room was super handy. The room was gorgeous and looked so fresh and modern. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the pool just divine. We enjoyed a few cocktails by the pool while the kids had so much fun swimming. Then a very affordable and enjoyable dinner at the hotel before putting the kids to bed. We sat outside our room and enjoyed the vibe and the music while having a tasty drink before snuggling down under the most comfortable dunas in the world.

    We stay here often. The rooms are really clean, comfortable and tasteful in design and functionality. The staff, Jeanette and Peter are very pleasant and extremely helpful. The location of the hotel on Palmer Street is perfectly, centrally located to restaurants, hotels and shops on Palmer Street and Flinders Street. The stadium is also an easy walk away.

    Cheap, sheets were clean, booked a bunk room with friends with our own private bathroom. Good, affordable stay for a few days in Townsville on a budget, especially if you're spending most of the day outside.

    I thought I booked a budget motel. I did, but it was much more. I chose it for the laundry. I washed and dried my clothes. We used the barbeque for dinner. The rooms had personality and a touch more than expected. The bed was comfortable with lovely linen. Great value for money.
