The room was big and everything was clean, although there was a chemical smell, which was still there after leaving the balcony door open for a while. At least it was possible to open that door and get some fresh air in. This is not always possible in hotels in Cairns. The whole experience was functional but a bit clinical.

Fantastic accomodation -well situated , very clean , spacious , easy to walk everywhere. I had room with ocean views with large opening sliding doors allowing me to sit out on my verandah for breakfast and dinner/ glass of wine at night. It also meant I could have doors open for fresh air or close for the very effective air conditioning. Staff were great .

A very comfortable place to stay right on the wate
Our first choice for accommodation in Cairns. Ideal location on the esplanade but away from the noise. We book a room that faces the ocean to enjoy the view. Rooms are large and comfortable. A kettle, some dishes and cutlery is provided. Tea, coffee and cookies too. There is a small fridge and a sink as well. You can’t cook a meal but you can certainly enjoy at takeout meal on a plate with a real fork. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

Our stay would have been perfect if it wasn’t for the young lady who checked us out our last day. She needs some friendly customer relations training for sure. All the other staff we interacted with was excellent. Saying goodbye to Cairns was difficult & last contact with a person of her sorts was a bummer to top it off.
