This is a 3 star hotel that presents itself as a 3 star hotel. It's fine as long as you don’t expect too much. Housekeeping is only provided if the stay is more than 7 days. That means you use the same sheets and towels for a shorter stay. I'm confused by the hotel's definitions of "standard" and "superior" rooms. I book a superior room and once I was put into a room that had marble floors and bathroom. The second time I was put in a room that had standard tiled floors throughout. That room had a noisy fridge so I was "upgraded" to a room that had marble floors and bathroom, which is what I thought I'd booked. The last visit I was again put in a room with standard tiles. This time I complained to the front desk asking to be provided with the room category I had booked. They looked at me blankly and said that I was already in a superior room. It isn’t clear in the booking process what is a superior room and what is not. Based on the hotel's feedback I clearly don't' understand the difference. A key feature of the hotel is free, secure off street parking. This is great if you use a vehicle while in Cairns.

Dear Guest Thank you for your feedback. Our standard rooms are located on the level 1 and our Superior rooms are Level 4 plus. The room you are talking about in regard to the tiles is a one and only with marble tiles - 604. The other Superior rooms are identical except for the tiles. We do state very clearly that the rooms are not serviced daily however we are more than happy to provide clean towels and amenities on request. As you have stayed with us numerous times we look forward to welcoming you back again. Clare

I liked the location away from the CBD. I’m renovating at home, so I certainly didn’t expect to pay $145/night, to stay in someone else’s work in progress. If I hadn’t prepaid, I would have preferred to find an alternative. Apart from a stained fluid which leaked from the door closing mechanism, slowly but surely, the room was immaculately clean, but In part very dated. Bed comfortable, hot water hot, Wifi great. Tiling was superb, but the bath had a lot of marks on it. The fridge door opened directly onto the exit door. The TV was on a stand, and directly above it was the wall fixture for it to be mounted on. Staff warm and helpful. Found x2 good breakfast spots nearby, and the gorgeous Munro Martin Park. Overall prefer to warn others, rather than recommend.
