Stayed here for work after reading very positive reviews on trip advisor. Upon arriving at my room I was surprised to find a very stained and soiled sitting chair as well as a large stain on the carpet.... Definitely not a good first impression! The manager quickly inspected the room and moved me to a lovely room next door with... More

Stayed here for 4 nights during an emotional trip due to family emergency and I must say what GREAT staff and the Grand is lucky to have them. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment overlooking Palmer Street, unlike main streets in a big city there is no traffic noise to annoy you. Ellie helped me from start to finish... More

Roslyn even helped take the bags to the room as I was juggling the kids.She then returned with some Easter treats for the children. I mentioned to Roslyn that my elderly parents were coming to visit... More

Traveled here on business, the room was fantastic, modern, spacious, very clean and nice air conditioning. The bathroom was also very modern and large with a great shower. The location is also fantastic right in the middle of all the restaurants.

This is a great hotel with lovely clean, modern, fresh rooms. The only drawback is the lack of restaurant on site but being in the location it is in, there is plenty of choice. The staff are very helpful and cannot be faulted. Love the fact that there is free parking on site and as I've already said, the locations... More

Dear Brad290 I love your headline, "Eat Street", thats a new description for Palmer Street! It certainly is a fabulous spot, there is a restaurant to suit everyone's taste buds. The temperatures in Townsville do have a tendancy to be high, effective air conditioning is a must. We do run some wonderful specials throughout the year and sometimes these include... More
