    The hotel was nothing like you described. Dirty smelt tv stuck on one channel no cable tv even though advertised and even in the littriture in the room . We never stayed five minutes and are pursuing a complete refund. Very bad experience. Please contact

    There was nothing to like about this complex. Your advertising is so false and I am looking for a full refund . Please contact me .

    The staff was amazing and so helpful. The rooms were also very clean and comfortable. I think this hotel is overall really good interms of quality for the price that you pay.

    The only thing I was not so theilled about at this hotel is its location. It is located far away from the rest of the main attractions in Cairns and is a not so pleasant neighbourhood.

    location

    Huge roaches in the rooms! Went to front desk to be moved and nobody is there after hours when I showed up at 10:15pm. On my way to the lobby I saw more roaches in the hallway. Girlfriend wanted me to book another hotel she was so upset.

    Good value motel / hotel not very close to downtown but an acceptable distance away if you rent a car. Downtown is a 50 mins walk versus a 10 minute drive by car. A 24 hour gym is a few blocks walk away & not many decent food options close by this motel.

    It was a clean enough motel but the wifi was spotty and not very fast. The room was darker than expected but the price was right for the standard of facilities and service we received.

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 11-20-2015

    Spacious, AC, TV, reliable and free Wi-Fi, comfortable. Fantastic for the very affordable price.

    The opening hours are a bit strange, with a big gap between 11am and 4.30pm. One of the towels in our room had a big and old blood stain on it.

    2RandeePosted on: 10-22-2015

    It had a bar and restaurants

    This motel, not hotel was very poor quality. We were expecting a 4 star hotel near the city and got a 1 star motel on the southside. It was in a rundown neighborhood and we had to take a bus everywhere. We also got harassed at the bus stop while waiting.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 10-13-2015

    Friendly staff and it was clean and quiet for sleeping.

    The only thing close to go to on foot was one shopping mall and a couple small resturants. To far to walk to coast.

    Cheap. Value for money.

    Small leak on bathroom floor.

    It is not a hotel. Very dirty,

    3Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-31-2016

    This hotel has to be re-rated to a motel. It is not a 4 star hotel
