We booked a budget family room, I didn't realise budget now means run down and dirty. Other than the linen on our bed, the room was filthy. Dust bunnies hanging from a rusty fan, freezer so over frozen I could barely open in, hole in the wall, toilet paper shoved in the gaps in the window, layers of dust on the lights and window sills. It was just a mess. I raised my concerbs with recep8who was initially defensive and told me I booked a budget room, which I found unacceptable. My kids did want to stay so we checked out. About 45 mins later, reception apologised and admitted the room wasn't to standard. The only saving grace in this situation. Only then did he offer a free room upgrade, but we had already made other plans

Arrived just at 5:05 so key was in a key safe. On finding our room, it hadn't been cleaned and had the last guest's linen still on the bed. Rang the overnight number and got told to see the restaurant staff and they luckily could give us a key to another room. The room was clean but dated, it was a cheap price though. The location was excellent for the Strand, easy walk along the beach to restaurants and shops.

Shoredrive will always be out 1st choice when staying in Townsville. It's very pet friendly, the rooms are always clean and no matter how busy they are, the staff go out of their way to be accommodating, flexible and understanding of our travel needs. Can not fault them, or praise them enough for everything they do
