    Basically everything, if you want luxury go stay at a 5 star hotel and pay their prices. Hotel Allen offers affordable accommodation, the bed was comfy, the eatery offered good food at realistic prices, staff were great, I only had 1 problem, the price of hahn super dry was a bit too much compared to other places.

    What’s not to like! sparkling clean an beautifully renovated. Great kitchen facilities, bathroom was lovely, the living area glass top table was spectacular and the slab wood bed head and side tables are stunning. Loved going barefoot on the Astro turf out the front and around the gorgeous pool and bbq area.

    In comparison to most motels in townsville Holborn wins hands down . It stylish outlay sets it apart from the rest, the facilities are exceptional has everything you could need including a large fridge, large balcony and the way the design allows the room to really open up is a stroke of genius. All this and so much more is complimented by its location. Definitely my favourite place to stay in townsville.
