“Cairns City Palms presents a mixed bag. While the self-contained apartments and complimentary scones are a definite plus for families and business travelers, the location can be a drawback, requiring transportation to fully enjoy Cairns. It could be a reasonable choice for those prioritizing space and kitchen facilities, but less so for those seeking a lively, central experience.”
