Disliked: Amenities
Location was good. It was neat and good. The prices could have been higher. The great disappointment was not providing aircon and not even a fan in the bunkbed rooms was disappointing. The fact that they have charged quite low doesnt give us to understand that basic amenities like providing fan in Cairns/tropical places was hard to believe. If fans are not provided they should have described in the offer. before being booked and that no fans and no aircon was a real punishment. Such rooms without fans should be against law and must be banned. Let them charge more but provide table fans/floor fans or say clearly that there are no fans.
