Good to have onsite undercover parking for our vehicle. Further secure uncovered parking avaiable. Front office staff were efficient and helpful. Laundry staff were also helpful. Extension of stay in same room was very helpful. Close to large shopping mall and eateries by short walk. Initial reason for booking was short walk to Day Hospital. Very handy for our trip to Cairns. Coming back soon.
