Didn't order breakfast, room clean but needs to be refurbished. Ironing board had no padding hence needed to put towel under to allow clothes to iron properly. Cost $22 to park the car. Much better places in Cairns, probably won't stay again same price or below. Bed and pillows comfortable.

"Absolutely perfect location in very close proximity to the water and my scuba boat in the Marina. I would definitely recommend adding on the breakfast as they had a lot of great options and it was very convenient before going out to explore the city every day. I love having a view of the city, which allowed me to see the massive bat fly out every evening at dusk! The staff were incredibly helpful and my room was very clean and uncomfortable."
