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.

Old fashioned motel style that fits the budget

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 front doors were a bit hard to lock (2 of them). In regards to privacy, when you open the curtains, people can see straight in, there's no real privacy, you either keep them open or closed.
