A little outdated but clean and tidy Self checked in as we were late arrivals. Checking out was quick and easy apart from the man at reception whom had a personality of a brick wall Doesn’t hurt to smile If you don’t like your job move on

I have been going to the Aquarius for 15 years, at least 2-3 times a year. This is normally for work, which is one of the reasons I like the Aquarius - once I leave the CBD and sit on the balcony with one of the best views in Townsville, all stress dissapears. The service is always attentative. Overall the rooms are clean, comfortable and regularly service.

Room was okay. View was fantastic, location was top notch. Third night night, the fire alarm activated at 3am due to a faulty sensor. Nothing was explained to us and no apology offered. If you inconvenience someone, then offer a free coffee.

The front desk staff were not helpful. We had a complaint about bugs in the room and they dismissed us and did not want to acknowledge the issue. We wanted to make them aware however it was not received very well.

Unit had everything that we needed. Needs a refresh & update. Mould on the roof in the bathroom. Shower curtain looked dirty along the bottom. Glass door to balcony did not latch back because of the air conditioner compressor, so the door would bang constantly in the wind. $3 to hire a pool towel was ridiculous. All staff were lovely. Check in and check out was very easy.

Outstanding view. I could sit on the balcony every day and never get tired of it. Room was very well equipped and nice. This looks like a 5 star hotel but it is not. The building is great but the staff indifferent. Basically a 14 story nice motel. I liked it and would stay here again
