“In my opinion, while this property benefits from its proximity to the Cairns Esplanade and cultural attractions, there are some concerns. I noted mentions of dated décor, noise issues, and inconsistent air conditioning, contrasting with reports of exceptional service from the staff. Overall, I think a refurbishment could elevate this hotel to its full potential.”
