It was what we expected, except they allowed the person in the room next to us to smoke outside our door

The staff were lovely, very helpful absolutly no issue at all. I felt the shower needed an upgrade and the tv reception was awful, it kept breaking up and a screeching noise took over the voicing, unwatchable. I would stay again but would like these couple of improvements made. As I said lovely staff.

The room was clean & tidy and it had everything we needed for our overnight stay. The stairs going up were okay but the hand rails were loose, which made it quite unsteady when using the stairs.

Quality reflected price. Old and worm, but clean enough.

Location is good but room is very small. Cairns is for water activities but there was no clothes drying rack and hair dryer.

The property is very old and outdated however it is clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a no frills stay. The location was great. Close to the esplanade. A 10 minute walk to the city.
