to get started.

room was clean and great view. Bed was comfortable and really appreciated the uncover parking spaces. This place served its purpose for my visit; close to esplanade for dining options, breakfast included in room hire, clean facilities and functional room.

Justine, Australia

Nice to have the option of a menu or buffet for dinner

Don, New Zealand

general ambience of the hotel. Bar not outstanding and they are a bit mean with their "free' drink. Busy place this and really most convenient for most of the things we had to do whilst in Cairns---Family catch up.

Mike, Australia

It was conveniently located to the city and other amenities that we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Sharon, Australia

The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have slept in! Room was clean and the air con. well positioned so it didn't blow cold air on the bed and not too noisey. I also liked being able to sit on the balcony and admire the view. Room service staff were friendly and did a good job.

David, New Zealand

Great position only a short walk from restaurants and shops

Kerry, Australia

Amazing sea view from top floor. Pools were nice, lap pool warmest.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Location so close to the Esplanade and the children's waterfront playground was great. My two boys LOVED the Xboxs in their bunkbeds (and are begging to go back). The staff were excellent - friendly and helpful.”

Melissa

Australia

“I stayed in quite a lot to enjoy the quiet, I loved my Balcony view and the ability to order room service which had great quality food. The staff were so helpful and welcoming esp the lady who cleaned my room and the wait staff who were ever so helpful and full of information to provide. It was great to see a lot of Indigenous Staff from the local community being employed in the Hotel.”

눉The elevators were a slow in arriving and would randomly stop of several floors when descending. It would also take a long time to process the floor levels. We thought at one point that we were going to be stuck in in. The shower/tap combo in my room (1012) was leaking when you engaged the shower. Wi-fi was extremely slow and power points were difficult to access (under desk set up and behind bedside tables)
눇room was clean and great view. Bed was comfortable and really appreciated the uncover parking spaces. This place served its purpose for my visit; close to esplanade for dining options, breakfast included in room hire, clean facilities and functional room.

눉Could hear people in next door room. A gift was dropped off at reception for me but the next day when I checked out staff did not know anything about it. We had also pre ordered breakfast as we were checking out at 3.30 am but again staff did not know about this, lucky we left plenty of time so it could still be organised before our taxi came. Only little things but you expect organised staff when you pay top price
눇Amazing sea view from top floor. Pools were nice, lap pool warmest.

눉Unfortunately the bathrooms are very dated and not friendly for anyone who has even a slight disability. It was clear that the $$$'s you are paying is for the view, not the amenities. In desperate need of updating to bring them in to the here and now and out of the 70's.

눉The Hotel Bar was quite expensive and the buffet breakfast was only average. The breakfast had plenty of choice however the prepared selections lacked taste. Bacon wasn't the best and the Bircher muesli was terrible. Everything else was fine.

눉I booked my elderly father in to a room which for 1 night to be close to the hospital, as my mother was having an operation & he need to stay close so he could walk to and from. He ended up having to pay $345 (site was saying only 3 rooms left) for one night (including breakfast). I checked your site online on the day of the reservation and it was down as low as $165/night. Feel disappointed that he was charged so much & will next time will look at other alternatives. :(
