Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the spacious and well-equipped rooms, some featuring balconies. The hotel is conveniently located for accessing the Esplanade and offers easy access to a good Thai restaurant. While most found it a pleasant walk to the marina and Cairns city centre, the noise from neighboring rooms or the restaurant downstairs has been noted by some guests.

I enjoyed the spacious room. It had comfortable beds. Everything was clean and tidy. The staff was helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble.
The TV was not working in my room. The hairdryer also did not work. The kitchen cupboard doors were falling off. That wasn't great.
