We had an amazing stay at Castle Crest Motel. The staff were great. The room was not fancy, but it was clean, up-to-date, and well maintained. The location is an easy walk to the Strand and the beach. If I return to Townsville in the future (I hope I do!) I will definitely book here again.
The room was spacious and spotless. Every item you could need to cook up a storm was in the kitchen. Parking was at the door undercover, again excellent. Sharri at the office was easy and great to deal with.
Our room was well appointed with modern, comfortable furniture and so far, the most comfortable bed we’ve encountered in our three week stay in Australia.
Sarah was immediately welcoming and helpful when we checked in. Taylor thoughtfully provided route guidance that helped us avoid road flooding as we headed north. Thank you both for your patient and sincere hospitality.
Convenient location for local fare as no facility for food at the Quest. Friendly staff who were very helpful with any issues or questions, and clean. Great to have even laundry facilities.
Nice studio appartments, small nice balcony over looking the Strand.
Many rooms are updated, always stay in those.
Close to many restaurants, walking distance to groceries.
I always stay here as it is reasonably priced and has off street parking (limited but many)
Loved staying here. The employees were great, always smiling and helpful.
Room was clean, anytime we needed anything there was very little wait time.
Can’t say enough about how we were treated.
