Situated in Woree, Cairns Chic Suite - Motel Room A features accommodation with private pool, free WiFi and free private parking for guests who drive. It is located 5.1 km from Cairns Convention Centre and provides luggage storage space. Outdoor seating is also available at the apartment. Everything was beautiful. Decor spot on, every little thing was well thought out, from the cutlery, crockery, toiletries to coordination of the linen. Spotlessly clean and fresh. The only thing I found was the aircon wasn't as cold as I would have liked. It was set at 17deg but it felt a lot warmer, I had the ceiling fan on full but it was still too warm for me. Apart from that I loved loved the room. I will be back and highly recommend it.

Cairns Queens Court is a privately owned and operated hotel located in central Cairns, offering affordable accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, and free off-street parking. The hotel offers free WiFi in the rooms and public areas. We stayed 1 night at Cairns Queens Court and it was just what we needed. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything required for a short stay. Staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in easy. The location is convenient – close to the Esplanade and easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Breakfast was a nice bonus for the price. Overall, a simple, affordable, and pleasant stay – a good choice for a quick stop in Cairns.
