Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The Cairns City Motel is a good place to stay, it is clean, centrally located and not expensive. It is close to the Aquarium, Markets and Waterfront Precinct. The only downside is that the reception area is only staffed for limited hours and only has 6 off-street parking spaces. I will definitely stay there again.

My family and I (3 adults) stayed here for 16 days/nights for the 2023 - 2024 festive period. The Manager (Craig) and the housekeeping staff were very helpful and friendly to us during our stay. I/We will definitely book and stay at the motel in the next visit to Cairns, Australia. Thank you Craig & Cairns City Motel!
