Great location very close to Cairns Central Shopping Centre and the Cairns Railway Station. It was also 3 blocks or so to the museum, art gallery and the night market. Rooms were spotless, with a super comfy bed. We enjoyed our morning tea with all the essentials.

Property was perfect for us as we needed 2 connecting rooms. Property Manager was great as he was always there to help ordering a Cab when Ubers cancelled trips. Kids loved the option of 3 pools. Great aircon and fans in rooms. Would definatley stay again.

I loved staying here. Very close to everything, even a mall next door with grocery stores. Easy walk to the esplanade. Except for nighttime hours there was always someone available to assist....sometimes even before I asked. They fixed a power problem immediatly and quickly arranged a cab for the airport.

Very happy overall

I did love it here. The room was very comfortable, clean and with great view of the pool. This hotel is situated in a great part of the city, very close to the shops and transport. Two things that I found not ideal was 1: the position of the smoking section. It is situated on the walking path. 2: exiting the pool and spa I found quite difficult and I am able bodied. There needs to be extra not so high steps and bars to grip as exiting the pool and spa.
Nice to sit on the balcony overlooking this.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We liked: pleasant receptionist and very helpful night manager Scotty. Location was okay, close to Shopping center, first floor, 15 minutes' walk to marina, We enjoyed fresh towels and bed cloth. We didn't like: The Day time manager that has shown absolutely Zero empathy, when on the very rainy day we asked for a late check out for my 91y.o. mother, so she could just rest in bed for 3-4 hours before our way to airport..It was very stressful conversation, I was in tears, and, at the end, we paid $60 for late check out. We found that man as being greedy and inconsiderate. Also, the shower didn't work, it was almost impossible to get warm water, it was cold or hot only. And, the cleaning in the middle of our 7 night's stay wasn't done properly, they just changed beds and placed a new bin liner inside the empty bin. The floor wasn't mopped. We won't recommend this place.
