Dear Anonymous, Thank you for such a wonderful review. We hope for an opportunity to welcome you back on your next visit to Cairns. Kind regards Andrew Wallis. General Manager.

1 out of 5
We enjoyed the location of this hotel. However, a lot of aspects could be improved. The staff at reception failed to mention to us how to turn on the lights in our room. They also changed the room we had booked and claimed it was an “upgrade”. The water in our room tasted like metal. Overall, we think they should renovate and modernize the hotel a bit.
