“Just an average motel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2006
4
people found this review helpful

The location is average (with all the other average motels), the room was a reasonable size but had to fit a queen and two singles, the decor is tired, but the place was clean. The price was average, the breakfast was average, the pool was quite nice though your average 'motel size'. The beds were rock hard and the pillows agony. I slept with two pillows but still had a sore neck and shoulder the next afternoon. I am always disappointed to get hole-in-the-wall noisy air conditioners but this isn't a new building so they were probably to be expected. We thought we'd get something pretty good after reading the reviews here but we got average everything. What we didn't get was service with a smile. Quite disappointing really.

“Loved Motel Palms.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2005

people found this review helpful

I'm not usually one to write reviews but this place deserves the praise. When relocating to Townsville from the UK we stayed at Motel Palms for 3 weeks , owners Wayne and Beverley could have not been more helpful or friendly, they really made us feel at home. The rooms are simple motel style but pleasant and clean with all the necesary facilities and nightly movies. There is a lovely little pool and nice bbq area. Its a bit out of the city along the main motel 'drag' but its not a problem if you have transport. I highly recommend this place for its great hospitality, ideal for families.

“Love the Motel Palms!”

Im not normally one for writing reviews, but the Motel Palms deserves to be written about.

I found it to be one of the cleanest and friendliest places i have ever stayed at. Although it is slightly out of the city, it has a beautiful pool and great facilities. I thoroughly reccommend it to all of my southern counterparts.

I came into town late one night and stumbled upon the wonderful hospitality of the Motel Palms.Not only was it clean, cheap (less than $70 for a double, with a courtyard!) quiet and neat but the people were the friendliest Northerners i have ever encountered.I thoughrorly recommend the Motel Palms for your next getaway!
