It's cheap and close to the airport, so looks great for those like myself transiting through Cairns unexpectedly caught out by connecting flights not connecting. Rooms are good quality and clean for the price, but it's clearly a motel and not a resort. Be aware that reception supposedly doesn't open until 9am and there doesn't seem to be any way to check out before then. My check-out method was handing my keys off to a staff member at 9:10am as reception was still closed. Also note the airport transfers don't start until after the check-out time of 10am, so be prepared to grab a taxi. Checking in the staff were helpful and friendly, but it was heavily raining. The restaurant (which closes at 7pm) had large tables inside, and small tables outside but flooded with chair cushions soaked through. When I came in they told me to "sit anywhere" and then asked me to move from one table to another of the same size right next to the kitchen to "make space". Breakfast was a let-down. They'd advertised a buffet breakfast, but on arriving I was told they were doing "cook to order" due to the low number of guests. They presented me with a list of choices, and only one of my choices were available when I ordered. I ended up with half a sausage, a spoonful of scrambled egg, and a few potato gems/tater tots. Cereal and a toasting machine were also available, but my toast was taken twice, once by staff. Not recommended if you want the restaurant or if under time pressure, otherwise OK.

Little bit far from city center, but you can walk or use shuttle bus. The hotel has a nice restaurant serves reasonable price Chinese (Taiwanese) food. Staffs are friendly and helpful.

Dirty room. Dirty curtains. The rooms need to be cleaned properly. You can clearly see the greasy dirt on the curtains

Basic motel. Very run down condition.if you have expectations of anything more than a backpacker style accommodation you’ll be disappointed. Photos on Wotfif are very deceiving.
