Second time I have stayed at The Palmer. Rooms are clean and neat. Super comfortable beds! The staff are welcoming and accommodating. Parking at rear is not covered, a small draw back. The restaurant downstairs is both convenient and delivers delicious meals. The coffee served by the night barista was a huge let down. Restaurants in the surrounding streets are handy.

As per usual the team at the Hotel were great. Nothing was ever out of the question, and everything was done with a smile. Have been staying with this team for the last five years and will continue to do so whenever I'm in Townsville.
