It was a nice hotel but a little bit far from the main city for me but overall it's was good to stay in a nice clean room for the rest of my holiday in cairns. ##### aila Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Aug 30, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Did not stay it was filthy and not safe in that a Would not recomend to anyone lovely place cairns but no ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Brian, Redcliffe, Queensland, Australia Aug 21, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This hotel is very run-down and needs maintenance Although the Manager was helping and nice, the hotel was a shambles and nothing like the pictures shown in the Wotif photos. This Hotel is very old and the locals suggested that it needs knocking down completely and starting anew. It seems the public needs a Government Authority made to regulate this industry, because this is not what it seemed in your advertising and fell well short on what we expected for our money's worth. I will be lobbying Government for an Authority to be made to regulate this industry, because of such shortfalls. We want tourists to come back and share good stories about the places they visit in Queensland and Australia, not the opposite! ##### Brian Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alexandra Aug 20, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Plus jamais! Chambre très sale (cafards morts dans la salle de bains et sous les draps, une couche de poussière noire sur la table à manger, le sol sale) et très brouillant. Les fenêtres donnent sur la seule grande route de la ville, très passante même la nuit. ##### Alexandra Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ken, Cornubia Qld Aug 2, 2017 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Disappointing I expected more. When we got to the room there were no towels, soap, hair care products and no milk. The coffee and tea packets were on the table but were never replenished. The towels were given after we asked but nothing else. The rooms are not made up or the room cleaned in the four days we were there. The shower had a crack in the glass and the wall had lost paint where it looked like furniture had been dragged along it. Not worth the money. ##### Ken Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller May 14, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had a great welcome the Lady manager was very kind and helpful and gave us extra covers for the beds. We had to change the chairs as the others we're not suitable for two disabled people. The apartment is not suitable for disabled people, especially the shower they could not get into it. The apartment smelt and was not very clean, and the China leaves a lot to be desired. Overall we did enjoy our stay, but we won't go back. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Keiran, Atherton Oct 17, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Spacious room, comfortable interior. Quiet motel room with good amenities including a kitchen. ##### Keiran ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brenden, Sunshine Coast Oct 16, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Photos - completely deceptive pool is a frog pond We booked 3 rooms and 2 of the rooms didnt stay and went elsewhere on check in. Absolutely disgusting. Pool was half empty and green. Whole hotel was dirty and totally unappealing. Wouldnt recommend to anyone ##### Brenden ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom, Townsville Oct 16, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice sized kitchen and rooms as well as friendly and helpful staff. ##### Tom ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 6, 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Old basic motel close to most things We enjoyed our stay as we used the motel as a place to sleep and have breakfast. It was clean but badly in need of a paint job, the powerful hot shower was great. A single room apartment with separate kitchen/lounge area, i think we got what we paid for and expected, only would use when discounted. It is on main road so a little bit noisy though the 2 bedroom apartments are closer to the main road. Very close to airport and other amenities. The lady at the front desk was helpful with booking skyrail etc. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 22, 2016 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Budget accomodation, room oK, Room OK, building needs maintenance , office Canopy torn and old, and old pool needs maintaining. It is important to give initial good impression, my impression was that place not maintained, ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### KIT YING, Hong Kong Sep 11, 2015 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 不要選擇，有賊入屋! 請不要選擇這間住宿，因為夜晚完全沒有保安措施，會有賊入屋偷東西，小心為上! ##### KIT YING ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 30, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### You get what you pay for This place is in need of renovations. It was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly but it is old and the balcony, especially, was a little scary with a young child. The pool was very clean. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Aug 18, 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort room was dirty paint falling off ceiling heaps of dust in room affected my sinus didn't sleep well at all the advertisement on internet was not true. Wont be back Again ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Graham, Brisbane Aug 17, 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very basic,very old. Hotel is old,rooms are adequate at best,noisy location--main road. All furniture is old including TV,non digital,no cable,no dvd. ##### Graham ### 4/10 Poor #### Pia Aug 6, 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ok til prisen Vi havde brug for et billigt hotel til overnatning. På den måde er det ok. Hotellet ligger lige ud til byens mest trafikerede vej... Der er ikke aircondition, men en fane i loftet, som fint kunne overdøve trafikken. Vi var her i juli, men der er jo stadig over 20 grader om natten. Personalet er meget hjælpsomme og imødekommende. ##### Pia ### 6/10 Okay #### Denise, Australia - QLD - Regional QLD Nov 9, 2014 Facilities: Everyday; Value: Reasonable; Service: Polite; Cleanliness: Tidy, Clean, Neat; ##### Denise ### 4/10 Poor #### scott, Australia - QLD - Townsville Oct 6, 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Shabby, Run-down, Horrible; Value: Rip-off; Service: Inferior, Sloppy, Awful; Cleanliness: Filthy, Grubby; I suggest wotif take this motel off their books before some other poor family unwittingly books it ##### scott ### 6/10 Okay #### Aga, Australia - QLD - Regional QLD Sep 24, 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Facilities: Bare minimum; Value: Fair price; Service: Helpful; Cleanliness: Smelly; very dark smelly depresing place - not good for great familly holiday!!! ##### Aga ### 8/10 Good #### Pam, Australia - QLD - Townsville Sep 17, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Facilities: Everyday; Value: Affordable; Service: Professional, Courteous; Cleanliness: Pleasant; ##### Pam ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret, Australia - WA - Perth Aug 3, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Facilities: Ageing and quite noisy; Value: Reasonable; ##### Margaret ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreamland II Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Dreamland-II-Bed-And-Breakfast.h15409315.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h11768.Hotel-Information) > > [Q1 Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Q1-Resort-Spa.h1859086.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort \*\*available 12/24-12/29/22\*\*](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bay-Lake-Tower-At-Disneys-Contemporary-Resort.h42407106.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Hilton-Surfers-Paradise-Hotel-And-Residences.h4238660.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea World Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Sea-World-Resort.h871443.Hotel-Information) > > [Lizard Creek Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cranbrook-Hotels-Lizard-Creek-Lodge.h4399901.Hotel-Information) > > [Tangalooma Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Tangalooma-Island-Resort.h2254989.Hotel-Information) > > [Catalonia Riviera Maya Resort and Spa All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Aventuras-Hotels-Catalonia-Riviera-Maya-Resort-And-Spa-All-Inclusive.h659775.Hotel-Information) > > [Belise Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Belise-Apartments.h16643532.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Los-Angeles-At-Beverly-Hills.h300.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury beach condo in Aria Ocean](https://www.expedia.ca/Nuevo-Vallarta-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-Condo-In-Aria-Ocean.h67450703.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Valleyview](https://www.expedia.ca/Valleyview-Hotels.d181750.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Peppers-Soul-Surfers-Paradise.h4619963.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Bed-And-Breakfast.d6141041-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sea/toronto-to-seattle) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/las/vancouver-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Bari (BRI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bri/toronto-to-bari) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Louisville (SDF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sdf/toronto-to-louisville) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyj/edmonton-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Alberta (YQF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yqf/edmonton-to-red-deer) ### Cars ### Packages > [The Great Northern Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Great-Northern-Casino-Grande-Prairie.d631597994965315584.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Pembroke](https://www.expedia.ca/Pembroke.dx182875) > > [Visit Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal.dx178288)
