A little out of the way if you are new to Townsville . If you have a car and are selfcatering the provision of cooking facilities and washer/dryer would be good if you want to risk the fire department visiitng as others have noted. I found the furnishings and carpet to be cheap . My room had a nice view... More

We were lucky enough to get a very good week end deal and for the price we paid we probably expected a lot less than we got. We were very surprised when we arrived at how good the hotel is for the price we were charged. Yes the hotel is way at the end of Palmer Street, and it is... More

It took me a while to find the place as there are no signs and it’s off the road and behind a hotel, it is also a long way from town and the strand if you are walking, there are however a few restaurants and pubs about 10 - 15 min walk away apart from the one out the front.... More

This is my 2nd time staying here for work and I'm still happy with it. We booked through the government provider, AOT, and my colleague and I both got a Mt Stuart Studio for under the Federal Government Budget which we were happy with.

Front office staff were almost robotic and seem to spend more time out back of reception than actually on the desk. The room itself had double doorway like a dual key apartment which were extremely loud when closing even when trying to be quiet, I was always expecting the neighbours to come out abusing. The TV was positioned too low... More

Stayed for four days on business. Stayed on government rates so I didn't expect a good room, and i wasn't disappointed. Couldn't be bothered complaining as it was only for a few nights. Otherwise the room was clean and serviced daily. Nice and close to the city proper, with plenty of restaurants for breakfast and dinner (hello Cactus Jacks). I'd... More

Fairly new hotel, great room and views. Stayed in one bedroom appartment with washing and limited cooking facilities. The room was light and airy, well decorated with nice views over to Magnetic Island. There is however Port facilities, but looking over that the view was very nice. The room had a king bed, very comfortable, A/C was individual split system... More

I stayed at the holiday inn last time and thought I give the Oaks M a try this time after reading the good reviews on TA. It is definitely nice, I had a small studio with water views and a small balcony. No complains there! The room is prob small, about the size of a small Melbourne inner city apartment.... More

The place is pretty new and the rooms are clean. Not overly large but everything you need. A little far away from most of the restaurants (500 - 800 m) but there is a quaint little pub at the front that has meals. Rooms have washing machine, dryer, microwave, dishwasher, cooktop and a decent sized fridge. Checkin staff were great,... More

I've stayed here a couple of times now. The rooms are pretty good - modern and attractive. Some quirky ideas like a window between the bathroom and bed/living area, but much much better than some rooms that I saw in the Rydges hotel down the road that my friends were staying in. A few hundred metres further out from the... More
