The room was extremely clean and fresh. The staff were exceptionally helpful and pleasant. The buffet breakfast offered me what I needed with vegan, gluten-free options and the food was thoroughly delightful. I highly recommend this hotel for your Cairns stays.
Great friendly staff, clean room and the pool was excellent

Professional and polite staff.
The rooms have been renovated to a nice level.
Comfortable, clean and quiet.
Great location with everything you need close by all within walking distance of the hotel.
Highly recommended.
The week was amazing with staff and hotel room plus organising trips around so easy and always friendly. Sad to leave but very efficient and professional. Extremely happy with the hotel and would return there or other branches in the future.
