A convenient place to stay for a night, midway between the airport and Cairns town centre.

Low cost, clean accomodation.
Great position, clean room with clean linen. Kitchenette with microwave and electric jug.
A bedspread or bed cover would have been appreciated. Security gate locked at 10pm so after returning from a concert our car had to remain on the street for the night.
Overall a clean, low cost accomodation option close to the hospital and esplanade.
Relatively cheap but very old and dated. Exterior building needs urgent clean (paths moldy and unsafe to walk on in rain) and urgent garden maintenance. Rooms good size and close to hospital.

Don’t stay
Shower was very high pressure, as in it was more a jet wash than a relaxing shower. Neighbours up at 06:00 shouting and screaming

In need of a refurb.
Actual facilities good; rooms very run down and in need of refurb. Room had an unpleasant musty/smoky smell (carpet?); very quiet and dark location near pool with small private outdoor area.

Disliked: Amenities
Under the impression we were booking more apartment with separate bedroom. When we good there, no separate bedroom and wifi was so poor we had to charge rooms and ended up in motel room and paid too much for that. Kitchenette was almost non-existent ans no real area to sit and eat so had to eat dinner out every night. Wouldn't stay here again.

Great location but service could be better, cleanliness of the property needs to improve as well. Seen plenty of cockroaches right at the doorstep of our room.
