Awesome property, right on the esplanade in Cairns. A little bit of a walk into town but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be quiet at night. The staff here are super-helpful (like surprisingly happy to work here and help their guests in many ways, we were stoked). From ice buckets, getting rid of our prawn shells, helping with parking, being generally friendly and welcoming - seems this is an attitude lost at many other hotels. Stoked to find it here. Some rooms looking a little dated, but nothing specific to complain about. Would definitely stay again.

Needs some updating. Mold in showers not a great look. Door lock annoying each time we had to get our key reprogrammed to get back into our room

Location was handy and only a short walk from the cafes and restaurants. Pool was amazing and view from rooms was great. Room needs a paint and adding a table and 2 chairs on the balcony would be a welcome addition, but I enjoyed my stay. Loved the vending machines with wine included and the little shop. Will stay again.

The service was excellent and staff are friendly. The room was neat and clean and the daily cleaning service was good. The bathroom was a little dated and can do with an upgrade. The hotel is in walking distance of everything. and can do with an upgrade.

As we were about to go to sleep we discovered that our ceiling had a major water leak. The staff did provide us another room, but did not offer to help us (two adults and two children) move to the new room nor was a discount on our accommodation offered. We think this was very poor service.
