As i travel a lot for work, i'm always looking for a reasonably priced, clean and convenient motel. I've recently discovered the Motel Palms and i could not be happier. The rooms have all been recently refurbished and even though it is an older building, you wouldn't know it once you were inside the room. The beds are comfortable, the... more

I recently made a trip to Townsville to see the in-laws and I was very impressed with our accommodation pick. Not being overly excited about the in-laws trip we picked a motel over staying with the family. I liked the look of Motel Palms website and we locked it away for our 4 day stay. During our stay we received... more

What a relief it was after travelling for some time to settle for a few days at Motel Palms in Townsville. We stayed in one of the comfortable self contained rooms whilst exploring the neighbourhood and enjoyed the freedom of preparing our own food and eating when we felt like it. Our hosts Beverley and Wayne and their staff could... more

This was our second stay at the Palms Motel. As travellers from NZ we found it to be quiet comfortable and cheap. The staff were very friendly and the service was great. We are heading back early November for our third stay and looking forward to it. more

The price was average, the breakfast was average, the pool was quite nice though your average 'motel size'. The beds were rock hard and the pillows... more

I'm not usually one to write reviews but this place deserves the praise. When relocating to Townsville from the UK we stayed at Motel Palms for 3 weeks , owners Wayne and Beverley could have not been more helpful or friendly, they really made us feel at home. The rooms are simple motel style but pleasant and clean with all... more

Im not normally one for writing reviews, but the Motel Palms deserves to be written about. I found it to be one of the cleanest and friendliest places i have ever stayed at. Although it is slightly out of the city, it has a beautiful pool and great facilities. I thoroughly reccommend it to all of my southern counterparts. more

I came into town late one night and stumbled upon the wonderful hospitality of the Motel Palms.Not only was it clean, cheap (less than $70 for a double, with a courtyard!) quiet and neat but the people were the friendliest Northerners i have ever encountered.I thoughrorly recommend the Motel Palms for your next getaway! more
