“Stay at Motel Palms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 8, 2012

The management is very nice. A natural smile on their face as you enter the reception. You just feel like being at home.

“Perfect for business..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 24, 2011

Motel Palms was the perfect choice for an unexpected overnight stay in Townsville. Great value for money, clean, good efficient staff and a comfortable bed. All you need really. Reception gave me a good tip on a local restaurant and I had an excellent T-Bone.

“Best Value in Australia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2009

I stayed here with my wife for one night due to an early departure to Sydney next morning.
The room was large, well furnished with a comfortable bed. No complaints about the bathroom either. The kitchen facilities were everything we could ask for and the tip from the receptionist to get a couple of take away pizzas from nearby "La Porchetta" proved to be the best value meal of our time in Oz! They were so big we left some in the fridge for the cleaners.
The swimming pool looked great even in the dark. Well worth staying longer if Townsville is the place for you but watch you don't get ripped off hiring a car from Hertz (but that's another story!)

“Clean, Comfortable and extremely affordable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 20, 2009

My Husband and I stayed at Motel Palms for one night in July, during a sales trip from Cairns to Brisbane. We found our room to be Very Comfortable, Clean and extremely affordable. The Pool looked lovely although we did not have time for a swim.
We would definitely stay here again.

“Just what we wanted”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 21, 2009

My family travelled to Townsville to attend a convention which lasted a week. The Motel Palms was just what we were looking for to accommodate our long stay. It is very close to our venue, shops and sporting facilities, which worked a treat if we wanted to buy something to either eat or cook in a hurry. We had a self-contained unit which suited our needs perfectly. Amongst our group were those of all ages. Beverley, Wayne and staff handled and catered for their needs wonderfully, friendly and always with a smile.
Motel Palms is surrounded by shady palm trees and a beautifully kept garden, which gives the BBQ and pool area a fantastic family atmosphere, and a great place to relax.

We were very impressed with the service, location and quite atmosphere that we will definitely return again for another long stay. Good work Motel Palms keep it up.
