Parking was booked out, didn’t realise that I needed to book in advance. Had to park down the road in public car park.

Rydges Southbank Townsville
Room was clean, well presented, bed comfortable. The shower water was very hard to get to temperature and slow to come through. Breakfast was good however bacon was over cooked and dry. For price of breakfast coffee (even though not nice) should've been included. Plenty of nice coffee places ...
