The hotel had dark, unclean rooms that were disappointing for the price we paid. The service was lacking, and the location had its ups and downs. The dining was overpriced, but there was an ideal early opening time for breakfast.

The hotel is ideally located just a short walk to the seafront and bars/restaurants. The rooms were decent but had a lingering smell of smoke from nearby smokers. The service was good, and the dining experience was enjoyable with a nice setting. However, the price could be more reflective of the room condition.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with spacious beds but could use a decor update. The location is convenient for exploring Cairns, although access to smoking areas can be challenging when it's raining. The breakfast experience may not meet expectations in terms of variety and pricing. Overall, a satisfactory stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from the center of Cairns. The rooms were basic and clean but a bit worn, facing a public walkway which resulted in noise at night. The service was satisfactory, and the location was suitable for families. The dining experience, although in a nice setting, was considered overpriced for the offerings.

The hotel is a bit far from the city center but easy to walk to and convenient. The rooms, although a bit dated in decor, are always clean, with comfortable beds and very spacious. The service is good, and the location is excellent, close to the night market & beach. The dining experience is overpriced for what you get. Facilities are satisfactory, and the hotel is well-suited for people traveling for medical appointments.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and had a large kitchenette and dining area away from the bed, but I wish there was a toaster and cutlery provided. The service was excellent, offering room service and tours/ticket assistance. The location was ideal for my needs, a short walk to the seafront and restaurants, making it very convenient. The dining experience was a bit confusing as it didn't match what was listed online, but the tasty sandwiches made up for it.
