I wouldn't stay there again.
close proximity to esplanade and my relatives
Very dated, drawers and curtains need fixing. TV remote control working on and off (might need new battery)

Budget accom, helpful and friendly staff. Room was passable.
Good location and the staff were friendly and helpful.
The images used online are old. The room had an odour. The shower was tiny. Would not suit a tall person.

Questions about Tropical Queenslander

What time is check-in and check-out at Tropical Queenslander?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Tropical Queenslander allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Tropical Queenslander?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Tropical Queenslander have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Does Tropical Queenslander have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Tropical Queenslander have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Tropical Queenslander?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
