This hotel is very run-down and needs maintenance

Pros: The Manager and her Partner
Cons: The whole hotel needs and uplift or knocking down all together, because it is so old and run down
Location: Location is fine. Not to far from city and a small bus trip will take you to the heart of Cairns, with a tavern across the road from the hotel
Although the Manager was helping and nice, the hotel was a shambles and nothing like the pictures shown in the Wotif photos. This Hotel is very old and the locals suggested that it needs knocking down completely and starting anew. It seems the public needs a Government Authority made to regulate this industry, because this is not what it seemed in your advertising and fell well short on what we expected for our money's worth. I will be lobbying Government for an Authority to be made to regulate this industry, because of such shortfalls. We want tourists to come back and share good stories about the places they visit in Queensland and Australia, not the opposite!

Photos - completely deceptive pool is a frog pond

We booked 3 rooms and 2 of the rooms didnt stay and went elsewhere on check in. Absolutely disgusting. Pool was half empty and green. Whole hotel was dirty and totally unappealing. Wouldnt recommend to anyone

Old basic motel close to most things

Pros: shower kitchen
Cons: paint job
Location: barrier reef, sky rail and kuranda train airport and bus stops
We enjoyed our stay as we used the motel as a place to sleep and have breakfast. It was clean but badly in need of a paint job, the powerful hot shower was great. A single room apartment with separate kitchen/lounge area, i think we got what we paid for and expected, only would use when discounted. It is on main road so a little bit noisy though the 2 bedroom apartments are closer to the main road. Very close to airport and other amenities. The lady at the front desk was helpful with booking skyrail etc.

You get what you pay for

Pros: Close to esplanade.
Cons: Needs renovating.
This place is in need of renovations. It was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly but it is old and the balcony, especially, was a little scary with a young child. The pool was very clean.

Yes the hotel is of an older style which is clean and has very few rooms still with analog tv and set top box. As we have had few vacancies this season and to accomodate you we would have allocated you one of these rooms. We offer a large free carpark at the rear of the property and access to public transport nearby so some traffic noise is inevitable at the front of the property during the day. We would have liked to have known of your concerns whilst you were staying with us so we could best accomodate you.
