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.

Maddison Plaza was a well priced, convenient night stay in Townsville. The room was clean and well appointed. We did find the pillows a bit too flat and there were no spare pillows. The TV kept turning off constantly also and had to turned on again. Apart from those minor issues it was a good stay.

We got a fantastic deal for our night in Townsville. We stayed to go to a Cowboys game and everything was in walking distance. The young man who checked us in was friendly, welcoming and very helpful. On the down side, parking can be a problem at times. Right in the heart of the CBD and they didn't have their own parking. The building is old and could do with a face lift on the inside. However, it was clean, comfortable and great value for money. Recommended!

Location is good and staff are friendly, but the property is run down badly and doesn’t match the photos. Also to get a blanket you need to go to reception and pay a $25 bond, which is just ridiculous.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The beds were clean and comfortable but the rooms were in dire need of a handyman- there was a lot of rust on the front of the bar fridge, runners on the cupboard needed replacing so the doors were hard to open,there was peeling on the bathroom door and brownish old towel rack spots needing fixing and painting, and no extractor fan in the bathroom. There was too much furniture in the room so we were tripping over each other. It is a shame as an effort has clearly been made to upgrade the rooms but it was spoilt by this.

Upon arrival, hoping to check in, we were greeted rudely by one of the receptionists (Tori). Who sternly told us it was too early to check in, when we were simply trying to pay and check our bags in. The hotel was run down, old soap in the canisters, no hair dryer and the air condition leaked. Dirty/mucky around all the tap and shower faucets and the walls had dozens of visible hole patches. We had a lovely receptionist check us out and Holly had called to ask when we were arriving but ultimately wouldn’t stay here again.
