Great location to Marina, restaurants and shops. They need a bellman that will actually offer to help you with bags. Stayed at hotel twice in Cairns in between two dive boat liveaboards. First time, petite desk clerk helped us bags. Second time, the bellman just watched us loading up cart. We complained to front desk again. First room had a wet musty carpet. Second room was better. Hilton owner needs a remodel of this tired old hotel.
