Hotel in zona The North Pole Shoppe, Townsville

The Mercure Townsville is a very comfortable hotel. The rooms are exactly what you'd expect at Mercure, comfy beds, all the necessities. The service is impeccable, and the food is to die for. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay... for the most part. The one downside for us, was the fact that at all hours of the day, sun up to sunset, the manager in place at this hotel deems it acceptable to run Sky News on every TV set around the bar and restaurant. Politics in public spaces is never a good idea. Extreme political bias in public spaces, is downright uncomfortable. Every night we sat there at dinner whilst the typical Sky News opinion piece headlines flashed all over the multiple TV screens throughout what is supposed to be a relaxing space. These headlines were loaded with such extreme (and I would go so far as to say hateful) political bias, that I do not even feel comfortable writing them here, or attaching pictures, for fear that my review may get rejected for the use of the words contained in them. Regardless of your own political standings, I’m sure that the vast majority of reasonable people can agree with me when I say that it is never appropriate to broadcast such a politically charged news station in what is supposed to be an all-inclusive, welcoming space. And let’s not conflate fact as opinion here, it IS an extremely biased, politically charged station, who’s owner is the subject of a royal commission campaign, and who has only very recently been taken to court in the U.S and forced to concede that his media empire knowingly lies. I’m not sure what management is trying to achieve by the all day broadcast of such a controversial station, but it has most definitely resulted in the loss of my own, and my family’s business. Very disappointing, as we otherwise would have been regulars. This has nothing to do with being a “left wing snowflake”. It has nothing to do with being “woke”. This has to do with wanting to go away on holiday and leave politics at home where it belongs. Now, to be fair, we did approach the manager about this situation before coming to the decision that we will not return. The response was entirely unacceptable and in our view, unprofessional. He told us that he did change the station after our last visit, but that the regulars at the hotel asked for it to be turned back onto Sky News, and so he did. So on our next visit to the hotel, there it was again. We approached the manager again regarding this, and his response to us was that “he can’t win”. He then told us that he will make a note to ensure the channel is changed when we visit. We found this utterly demeaning, condescending and, to be frank, insulting. He doubled down on the previous reasoning that the regulars ask for Sky News because, in his own words, “It is the most informative”. Sir, there is nothing informative about the headlines we witnessed on this station during our multiple visits. It is not news, it is political “discussion” loaded with extreme bias

We’d stayed here at the Ocean Breeze a year before and thought it was excellent. Clean, comfortable, good value and a spot-on location just off The Strand. Unfortunately management appears to have been on a cost saving mission since. A new card reader is needed for the car park as getting into it was an exercise in complete frustration…our final entry required nearly 5 minutes of swiping before the doors finally lifted. The Wi-Fi in the room was virtually non-existent…the signal from the Anelay restaurant across the road was stronger…and when you could connect the bandwidth was so poor the pages would rarely open. And the AC, well heaven forbid allowing guests to adjust the temperature themselves. This needed to be done from reception, which is not open 24 hours! So if you discover it is too hot in the middle of the night, tough luck sweat it out. Not sure if we’ll be returning.

Il luogo è in spiaggia, la spiaggia di giù del sole, e il caffè è molto conveniente per camminare per il supermercato per dieci minuti.Il giorno di acquisto di Qi è necessario per sedersi sul palco per vedere il sole e guardare il sole. Per quanto riguarda il servizio di base, cancellare il check-in.Rimanere in piedi come se fossero alberghi di aria condizionata nell'area asiatica e Pacifico, ci sono servizi di cinque stelle In termini di prezzo, non c'è niente per 1000 capi, la verità è la scelta perché non c'è scelta.

Non è buono isolato, l'altro lato è il lato del mare, e è buono mangiare nella stanza

Se sei qui a Townsville, scegli questo, non esitare, perché questo ha un condizionatore d'aria perfettamente funzionante. Se non c'è l'aria condizionata a Townsville, o la temperatura dell'aria condizionata è bloccata, ti manterrà tutta la notte. Non riesco a dormire la notte. La ragazza alla reception era molto entusiasta.

Grande personale a buon mercato per soldi

Abbiamo trascorso due notti al Palmer Collective mentre andavamo a Townsville per il gioco Cowboys v West Tigers. La stanza era eccellente e aveva tutto ciò che era necessario per un soggiorno confortevole. La doccia era grande e l'aria con funzionava come doveva. La Palmer dispone anche di un lavaggio con lavastoviglie e asciugamani, entrambe le macchine prendono $1 e $2 monete. Il parcheggio in loco è limitato per un motel così grande, ma è parcheggio lungo la strada, e noi lo consigliamo pienamente.

Because of our flight’s late arrival, we chose this hotel for its 24-hour reception and good location on the Palmer St restaurant *****, a short walk from the town centre. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Underground parking is free but not secured. The buffet breakfast was delicious. Our room was spacious, with efficient air con, comfortable beds, two good chairs, hospitality tray and frig, no minibar and no ice cube tray. The two bottles of water delivered each day were very welcome. The bathroom, with walk-in shower, worked well but was a tad shabby. The bedroom lighting was excessively 1980s dim. We needed a torch to see the aircon control panel. We would return and recommend, but bring a torch.

Abbiamo prenotato questo alloggio nel settembre 2022 per 2 notti per il nostro soggiorno in maggio. Arrivato e immediatamente trovato il nostro appartamento non con vista panoramica sull'isola magnetica né la Townsville Marina che si gira occhi una parte dura sinistra della Marina. La nostra vista era un appartamento a destra, in fondo al piano terra, che guardava in un altro complesso di appartamento. Ci avvicinò al desk front e fu detto che avevano esteso il loro soggiorno e ci siamo aggiornati a un appartamento a 3 camere, solo due di noi. Noi diamo così tanto credito per la pulizia della custodia di casa grazie ma il telaio, la spazzatura e il salotto fulgi al di fuori del loro controllo. Siti che mostrano ciò che si dovrebbe aspettare e ciò che si ottiene dovrebbe essere tenuto responsabile. Non tornerà.
