Our room was small and basic but very clean and comfortable. Probably suit a short term stay rather than an extended period. Parking was on a first in basis so we had to park on the street. We were given a drink voucher on arrival which was a nice touch. This is the 3rd Palmer street property we’ve stayed in and would stay again if it was just a few nights. Palmer street is an excellent location for dining and proximity to Magnetic island ferries.

Not great service and rooms are small.

Reception closed at 9pm so checkin was across the street at another hotel. A nightsafe would have been a better option to offer guests. The head Receptionist the next morning at checkout had an attitude and had very o customer service.
