"Great stay"

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Cairns Plaza is a clean, simple hotel with great views and a very helpful staff. We stayed in a suite, so the living room, kitchen supplies (fridge, utensils/plates and microwave) and separate bedroom made things so easy and comfortable. They have coin-op laundry facilities on-site, which was helpful as this was the second stop on a two-week trip for us. There is a great cafe (Muddy’s Cafe) across the street in the park that offers a 10% discount to hotel guests. It was delicious. The hotel is right along the esplanade, so an easy walk to many restaurants and shops. The hotel isn’t fancy (no fitness center, on-site resturant, etc.) , but it has every thing you need for a really pleasant stay. We’d stay here again for sure!"
