Holiday Inn Townsville by IHG

Holiday Inn Townsville by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"We can’t fault the hotel & the staff. Staff welcomed us, room was clean & had everything we needed plus. Room Is a little small although sufficient for a nights stay. It is disappointing at the cost simply because a crowd drawing event was in town the night we stayed. Checking for the following weekend the price is $450/night less than what we paid. We respect dynamic pricing however this was over the top & greedy."
