Kevin was a great host! I was on a work trip with three colleagues. Kevin was very accommodative of our extremely late arrival. Kitchen was well stocked with everything for breakfast and chocolates - was a pleasant surprise. It is a Castle! Very spacious place and maintained at high standards. Might just be our go-to-place inTownsville.
