The towels were nice and fluffy. The room was spacious with a fridge. There was a little bit of highway noise but it wasn't noticeable when I was sleeping.

Convenient when driving long distance.

Very basic, although convenient as beside highway and pets allowed. Nevertheless I feel it is overpriced, they also charge an additional $10 per pet.

Just out side of Town

Pros: Nice people / nice room / good location
Location: Just outside of town on the highway but very close (within 15-20min) to footy / shops / parks / city
The motel was only a short drive into town and the owner was lovely. She helped us with directions and parking for the football game which helped very much. The room was on the smaller side but was everything we needed with 2A & 2C for a 1 night stay. This motel is on the highway but once the room was closed and air-cond on you couldn't even hear the traffic. We had a wonderful stay and would go there again.

Location / Price & Service

Pros: The whole experience as stated in the previous section.
Cons: None that I had noted - everything was welcoming & rewarding
Location: The location of the Sunbird Motel provided a central point from which one could branch out to many other destinations, hospitals, shopping facilities,
The ease in making an online booking to the reception I received on arrival, made one feel like they were home, Everything about my stay provided me with complete satisfaction in all respects: the central location / convenience / accesablity then the allocated room, once inside, it left a very evident & appealing reason to enjoy my stay, Very comfortable to say the least & all facilities were of the highest order, to then, appreciating the fine breakfasts coupled with the friendly nature from the owners. It was a really enjoyable overall experience & I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue for any of my friends or others, and look forward to my re-visiting the Sunbird Motel in the future. Many thanks again to Debbie & Adam.

Rude management

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Change of management - true location advertising
Wanted accommodation in Townsville, the Sunbird came in the top of the search for Townsville, got there and discovered they were a 30minute drive from the centre of Townsville, needed to be closer due to transportation. asked if we could cancel to which they said ok, then rang to confirm cancellation and they abused us and charged full price of accommodation without us even being there. they then wouldn't take our phone calls.
