Great location very close to Cairns Central Shopping Centre and the Cairns Railway Station. It was also 3 blocks or so to the museum, art gallery and the night market. Rooms were spotless, with a super comfy bed. We enjoyed our morning tea with all the essentials.

I loved staying here. Very close to everything, even a mall next door with grocery stores. Easy walk to the esplanade. Except for nighttime hours there was always someone available to assist....sometimes even before I asked. They fixed a power problem immediatly and quickly arranged a cab for the airport.
