Very pleased with our stay. Room a bit small but very clean. Front staff friendly and welcoming. Close to the lagoon, shopping and the casino. Will definitely return when visiting Cairns again.

Fabulous place to stay
What a beautiful place to stay, so spacious. Having the kitchen and washer and dryer was fabulous. We did not use the pool. It was so close to everything- within walking distance especially the lagoon and reef terminal for excursions. Highly recommended!

Be careful for the check out time
While the room was ok, having to check out before 10am is ridiculous

Very basic and very dated
In serious need of renovations. Very basic. I’m not sure how this property can be called a hotel. It’s more like a motel and the pictures are very misleadin.

Location is key
The central location was amazing. So close to walk so many places we did not need to hire a car. Staff was friendly. And if you like art it’s right next door to a couple great art galleries. And then close to so many food options.

Loved the view out over the esplanade. Spacious rooms that were fresh and clean.
Perfect spot to stay as a family. So close to all the cafes, bars & restaurants. Right across the road from the lagoon.

Pick somewhere else
From time check in no email or phone call regarding water shut off repair. (Would have stayed somewhere else if known) huge inconvenience for no water. As for the room mildew smell, towels were gross stained brown marks, listed as having a coffee machine the room did not. Had instant powder coffee. Safe didn’t work. When going to front desk with concerns the gentleman blew us off with smart remarks. Not helpful at all. Strongly urge to stay somewhere else. Only positive was the location.
