Room was clean and functional, and the bed was comfortable with different types of pillows. Has WiFi but had a high latency at busy times. Everything worked as expected and was quiet at night. The little balcony was private and a good place to enjoy the morning with a coffee. The place is not a new establishment and is showing some sighns of aging but none that made a difference to my stay. The night time secure parking is a bonus me.

Stayed here before whilst my partner was in Cairns Base Hospital. It gave me peace of mind to park my car at the property and know it was safe, especially with the gate being locked at nighttime. It is conveniently located and within walking distance of the hospital. Excellent reception and housekeeping service.

Low cost, clean accomodation.

Great position, clean room with clean linen. Kitchenette with microwave and electric jug. A bedspread or bed cover would have been appreciated. Security gate locked at 10pm so after returning from a concert our car had to remain on the street for the night. Overall a clean, low cost accomodation option close to the hospital and esplanade.

In need of a refurb.

The room needs to renovated. It feels & looks like things have been bogged & siliconed very unsuccessfully. The were quite a few of the local Indigenous population just hanging which made us uncomfortable. Very comfortable beds though & very close to the northern end of the esplanade.
