Disliked: Room comfort
Room was clean and tidy. Location was great walking distance to CBD and restaurants. Parking easy and plenty of options.
Biggest gripe is air-conditioning stopped during the night and couldn't reset.
Summer in Cairns without air-conditioning was a sweat bath and thus poor quality sleep.
Otherwise great option.

Great location, convenient and easy walk to the esplanade…
Very clean older style accommodation that is perfect for an overnight stop or a couple of days. . Excellent free off street parking great for high clearance vehicles and 4WD’s. Easy walking distance to bars and restaurants. Very quiet and comfortable.
One of the best affordable hotel in cairns, have stayed twice and you can’t go wrong. Quiet area, friendly staff and lots of privacy if you wanna have a guest over for a drink. Highly recommended
Friendly, helpful staff on reception and ability to access the room early (around Noon).
Good location with cafes nearby and the main city centre 3-4 blocks away - around 10min walk.
Good internet access (I value this).
Nice clean comfortable room with air con + fans
Onsite parking if needed.
On the whole a typical but good old fashioned motel style accommodation that is value compared with more recent hotels which charge unreasonable rates based on location rather than service.
The receptionists were very kind and also very helpful. The hotel rooms were very private and quiet which I loved and the hotel itself within walking distance of the city.I hope to be staying again really soon.
It was an ok motel, old run down room but the bed was comfy

Older room in great location.
Handy location, decent size, old but clean.
A bit noisy if your a light sleeper (could hear neighbours easily).
I would stay again as price and location are good.
