Nice hotel very close to Cairns Base Hospital. Once windows are closed you can't hear outside traffic or overhead planes.

I arrived and the general condition of the hotel is old and a bit run down which is ok if upon arriving in the room a mouse hadn't run out of the closet when i went to put my bag away. At this point i decided that i really didnt want to stay here and went down to talk to reception who argued with me that i hadnt seen a mouse and refused to refund any of the four nights that i had prepaid for. So it cost me $585.00 for 10 minutes
