Stayed in a 1 bedroom suite - great value. Reception staff friendly and efficient. Very comfortable sofa and bed. Lovely view over the Esplanade from balcony. Easy walking distance to hospitals, Cairns Central, Waterfront, cafes and restaurants. You can also use the pool and bathroom facilities after checking out - very handy if on a late flight.

Simple and up to date hotel. Very clean. Like the living room and bedroom concept. Balcony with ocean view. Feel more like living in an apartment than hotel. Convenient location. No safe in the room but the hotel is able to safe keep it for a token of 5 dollars. Staff are very friendly.

We had a great stay as a family of four with two young children. The 24-hour front desk was very convenient, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room with a separate living area and a bedroom with a king-size bed, and with a crib and an extra bed added, there was plenty of space and it was very comfortable. Although the bathroom and carpet were a bit dated, everything was clean and we didn’t find it inconvenient at all. The location was quiet yet within walking distance to the city center, which was perfect. The hotel also has a pool, and there's a playground just outside—great for kids. Overall, it was a comfortable and pleasant stay at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!
