DO NOT STAY HERE! After checking in at 7pm from a day of travel our group was looking forward to a shower before going to get some dinner. We then found that there was no soap in the room for us to use, just a few traveller size shampoos. We contacted staff and were told that there was not a single person they could get to deliver soap to our room until 9am the following morning, which didn't work for us as we had an international flight to catch early the next day. To add to this we found that the room hadn't been cleaned properly with children's toys left under the coffee table along with 12 months of dust. We found that the Kitchenette drawers were broken and came off the runners only to help hide the cockroaches in there. For the lucky few that had received soap prior to us, there was a space above the shower in between the tiles and the wall which had used soaps and empty shampoo bottles littered in it. I wish I could say that my bed was comfy but it along with the lumpy pillows were a let down too. I feel absolutely robbed of the money I spent to stay here. It is the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in even to the point that a backpackers or campsite would have been a better option for my family. Overall it was a terrible experience, do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else.

3 1/2 stars is abour 3 too many. 1. I had to hold up the shower spout with 1 hand while showering. 2. The only cutlery in the unit was a solo knife. 3. While locating our grotty unit we were greeted by drunken guests yahooing in the algae infested pool. 4. The drunken yahoos decided that around 2am would be a great time for a loud party outside our room. 5. Reception was unattended so no chance to purchase laundry powder. 6. As I walked through this unit the tiles made sticking sounds onto the bottom of my shoes. 7. Rubbish under beds and behind doors.

If you’re after cheap accommodation this is certainly it. Lumpy awful bed & pillows, sticky floor, thin curtains that lets the sun stream in, you can hear the water pipes of other apartments, dirty creepy stairwells - There was dirt and clumps of hair the whole time we were there so no cleaning happening. Reception staff weren’t friendly. You have to use the side entrance after the reception closes at 5pm. The little pool is ok. The cleaners are not friendly either and they push their spare towels etc around in Woolworths trolleys. The toilet is in an uncomfortable position jammed between the wall, shower & basin with the shower curtain sitting on your knees and you can’t move it as it’s locked in place. The parking was very tight but grateful it wasn’t on the road. Room smelt like cigarettes when we first arrived. Loud traffic noises as on main road, no power points near bed, whole tap on the bathroom sink is loose, bathroom light flickering like a disco. I could go on.

Nice Little Motel in The Middle of Cairns
It was an emergency booking owing to my flight from Papua New Guinea being delayed by many hours, thus had to make a last-minute booking for accommodation, while still in PNG and opted for Cairns City Sheridan Motel. When I arrived at the motel after 11:00pm, the key to the room had been left in a night safe but unfortunately, it was the wrong key, and I couldn't enter the room. So, I called the manager who was not onsite at the hotel but some distance away... No problem - she immediately set off back to the hotel to give me the correct key for the booked room. She was very apologetic and most helpful so, the frustration I was feeling about the blunder was quickly alleviated by her prompt and professional action, which ultimately made my brief stay that Friday evening a very pleasant one. The room had everything - more than I expected in terms of facilities. It was also a very clean & tidy, spacious room which also had a cute little balcony, complete with outdoor table and chairs.

Worst hotel we have ever stayed in
This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. It was very poorly maintained and looked quite tired and worn, the chain lock was missing from the door, shower had mould, bathroom sink tap was stiff to use, bed sheets were crumpled like they had been left in a basket or maybe not been washed since the last guest, the pillows did not smell fresh at all, the floor was slimy. We kept shoes on at all times, and wore footwear to shower. We had booked for 2 nights, due to exhaustion we stayed the first night but left first thing the next morning. When checking out, the lady at reception seemed to think we had picked up the wrong room key from the safe box at check in but didn’t elaborate or seem interested and asked no questions as to why we would leave our booking early. Would never recommend this hotel to anyone. We wanted a refund as we were misled by this site in regards to information and photos about this hotel but the hotels.com app doesn’t give refunds for cancellations after check-in.
