Overall a pleasant stay, however location was a bit far from city centre than expected. Room was very spacious, great service, clean sheets and towels, nonetheless the hotel in general was a bit old, only the restaurant area and the pool was refurbished, rooms would probably need some updates (Though I would say 80% hotels in Cairns are pretty aged). Overall satisfactory given the price👍

Nice location, nice views. Reception could be more friendly. No smiles or anything, they mentioned they sold our room when we arrived late even though it was all pre paid. Why would you mind if someone comes on time or not when you've got the money for the room? Is it like earning double if no show? We finally got our room , but the first impression always matters! Otherwise it was a good stay.

Nice cozy hotel to stay in a beautiful town. Breakfast is pretty standard with limited options but good enough. Rooms are nice especially the upper floor with a sea view. Overall a comfortable stay.
