At first I did not want to stay. Didn't seem the safest area. Youth in carpark talking drugs and drinking when I arrived. Hotel was willing to give refund and reassurance was given this was unusual. Well handed by the hotel.

I booked this hotel based on the reviews, but I was very disappointed. Even the guests checking out before us said it was the worst hotel they have stayed at so far on their vacation. The area around the hotel was sketchy. We had breakfast at the restaurant one morning and learned not to eat at the hotel for the rest of our stay, but there are very limited dining options in the area. The bed was very uncomfortable, the toilet was constantly running and there was a weird smell in our room. I would stay much closer to the Port if I were to visit Cairns again
