Great location, very close to Cowboys Leagues Club and a short walk to Palmer St. No onsite parking and the allocated off-site parking was full so we had to park on the street, was a mission trying to find close parking especially on NRL game day. Room was clean, bathroom has some water damage wear and tear but it was the BEST shower pressure ever. Also staff were very friendly, we checked in with Shay.

It was a last minute need as my original place I had booked had given away my room. The staff at Madison were excellent and very helpful, especially since I arrived just after 9 pm.

I am extremely disappointed and disgusted with our recent stay at Madison Plaza Townsville. We found TEN cockroaches in our room — a serious hygiene issue that made the space completely unfit for staying. This wasn’t an isolated issue, and it left us feeling unsafe and distressed. We checked out three days early and immediately contacted management, expecting at the very least an apology and a refund for the unused nights. Instead, we were told “it is what it is,” and our concerns were completely brushed off. There was no accountability, no apology, and no attempt to make things right. They simply didn’t care. This is not how any hotel — let alone one charging for comfortable accommodation — should treat paying guests. The combination of poor cleanliness and even worse customer service is unacceptable. If you care about hygiene, comfort, or being treated with even basic respect, avoid this place at all costs. I’m writing this review so that other travelers are aware of how horrible our experience was. Don’t let it happen to you.
