But that's nothing major, everything else was as described and beds were comfy. would recommend :) "

Cairns Plaza Hotel

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was clean, with a big double balcony overlooking the esplanade. The bed was comfy and housekeeping were attentive. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool was well maintained - small but ideal for cooling off after a long day exploring the area. Kitchen facilities were as advertised, no cooker but a microwave and full size fridge. Muddys cafe over the road is ideal for a coffee, breakfast or evening bite."
