Travelocity Verified Review
"I didn’t make the booking. One of the group did the research and recommended the hotel. First there is no shuttle from the airport to the hotel. A taxi or Uber will get you to hotel and I think the extra cost is worth it as the Ubers arrived in less than 5 minutes. The hotel is two stories for rooms with an extra cost for a marina view. The lobby is spacious and the staff were professional and courteous. The hotel is part of a shopping mall and is located within walking distance of eateries, parks, and attractions such as the Cairns Aquarium which I highly recommend worth visiting. The room was clean with good light. The bathrooms were very clean and they even provided toothbrushes. The room has a balcony with a view of the pool and restaurant. As I had previously mentioned for an additional cost you can have a room with a view of the marina. The hotel has a restaurant on the first floor and you can order buffet style or order a meal. We only ate breakfast and opted for the buffet. The food was varied and generally tasty. The cost was $30 AUD. I found Cairns to be a delightful city. Laid back atmosphere with many different choices of cuisine available within again walking distance. The parks are well maintained and people were out and about enjoying the town. Cairns is one of the cleanest cities I have ever visited. People are friendly and helpful. I found myself thinking I could easily live in Cairns. Would I stay at the Shanghai-la hotel again? Definitely."
