“The Pier Pods intrigued me with its blend of hostel-style affordability and surprisingly modern pod sleeping arrangements, and it seems incredibly well-situated for transport, right by the bus and ferry terminals. I'm also interested in the reports of ocean views from some pods and the high marks for cleanliness. Though some guests have reported check-in issues, I'm hoping those are resolved as this could be a smart budget option in Townsville.”
