Go to accommodation
Ideal position for stadium. Surrounded by great bars/ pubs / restaurants
Amazing comfy huge bed.
Only negative is the breakfast buffet, it’s a bit basic.
Free cookies at reception make up for it

Good central hotel.
Good hotel in central location. Only downside is probably more to do with recent Townsville weather. The air-conditioning seemed to struggle and was constantly dripping moisture from the vent. Townsville has seen an awedul lot of rain.
