Good hotel. No frills and no amenities in the bathroom a little poor. Careful this place gets busy/loud on Saturday nights - it’s part of the Casino resort. Great for drinks in bar for sunset and easily near enough to restaurants

Ardo was a pleasant surprise. Our corner ocean view suite was spectacular, and I would have loved to have stayed longer than just the one night. Roof top restaurant had great staff, very attentive and willing to go the extra mile.

Fantastic place to stay in Townsville. Free onsite parking and right next door to The Ville for extra dining options though the restaurants onsite are excellent. Rooms are spacious and very well appointed. Recommend spending that little more for an Ocean room so you can see the sunsets each night. Rooftop bar was a perfect spot to kick off the night before going out or for a more casual meal. Cannot recommend enough.

Beautiful venue with sensational view. Only gripe is nowhere in hotel to get coffee and only instant coffee in room. The combination is not appropriate for a hotel of this standard. Otherwise really liked it.
