Excellent Location
Very pleased with our stay. Room a bit small but very clean. Front staff friendly and welcoming. Close to the lagoon, shopping and the casino. Will definitely return when visiting Cairns again.

Pick somewhere else
From time check in no email or phone call regarding water shut off repair. (Would have stayed somewhere else if known) huge inconvenience for no water. As for the room mildew smell, towels were gross stained brown marks, listed as having a coffee machine the room did not. Had instant powder coffee. Safe didn’t work. When going to front desk with concerns the gentleman blew us off with smart remarks. Not helpful at all. Strongly urge to stay somewhere else. Only positive was the location.

Fabulous place to stay
What a beautiful place to stay, so spacious. Having the kitchen and washer and dryer was fabulous. We did not use the pool. It was so close to everything- within walking distance especially the lagoon and reef terminal for excursions. Highly recommended!

Very basic and very dated
In serious need of renovations. Very basic. I’m not sure how this property can be called a hotel. It’s more like a motel and the pictures are very misleadin.

The apartments look tired, the apartment wasn’t entirely clean, there’s no free wifi, they only cleaned the room once in 8 days. The location is good, but they really need to up their game.

Loved the property was very central. Carpet in room needed replacing quite bubbly in places and dirty marks . Having to shower by stepping into the bath was not ideal.

We had arrived for our stay and were given the room key to an apartment that was still in use. Understandable that it was a mistake, however it was unsettling knowing that we had walked into a room where someone else’s personal property - which should be secure in their apartment - wasn’t.

11 October 2024
I don't think I could be paid to stay here again. The room and bathroom were the most dated awful room I have ever seen. The wifi did not work at all for our entire stay. When I asked Reception Staff about why the wifi wasn't working, she shrugged her shoulders and said there was nothing she could do. There are very limited gym facilities (no weights) and the one treadmill was out of order. There are basically no facilities at all - no room service, no breakfast, no housekeeping. Limited free parking nearby but none available while we were there so we drove around for 30 mins to find somewhere to park. I have stayed at many places in Cairns City and in my opinion and experience, this was by far the worst.
