“I see a straightforward option in Townsville's CBD, particularly for those prioritizing location near the stadium and Flinders Street nightlife. The comfortable king beds stand out as a definite highlight. However, dated bathrooms and potential noise issues on lower floors suggest requesting a higher room might be wise.”
