Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were nice, but that was the only good part. The room was really filthy on the walls and both inside and outside of the door, and there was grease and dust all over the power cord for the air conditioning unit. The bathroom was incredibly run down, with mould on the walls, windowsill, and ceiling, and a badly yellowed cracked air vent that didn’t seem to work. The toilet made an intermittent loud sucking noise, and I could hear other guests burping violently in the room above me. There was only one window that looked out into the passageway and car park, so if I opened the blackout curtain to let some natural light in, other guests could see the whole room. The door didn’t feel secure, and I could hear absolutely everything the other guests were saying and doing, so I woke up feeling unsafe a few times. I would have left and stayed somewhere else but it was a non refundable booking. I won’t be returning.

We appreciated the comparable price. Flew in from the Torres Strait for a family event in Cairns. With kitchenette and on Mulgrave Road and relatively close, it was a nice stay.

Not too bad for what you pay for.

Comfortable bed and great shower, room was clean. Only small things lacking like an ironing board for the iron, no tissues or face washers and the shower head showers the roof as well as your body. Otherwise value for money if you’re not too fussy.
