Japanese receptionist was very gentle and kind. The room is clean and tidy. Everything you need is prepared. Shopping center is next to the hotel so we enjoyed cooking and had breakfast and dinner at the balcony using stand light. Not gorgeous but enough to do everything.

We did not know there was no elevator for the apartment. We had a lot of luggage and I just had a knee replacement so the stairs were an inconvenience. The apartment was very muggy even with the a/c on. It was conveniently located for what we needed.

Complaint would be the wireless internet and the streaming device on the TV in our room was constantly dropping out and the internet was terrrible. Only other issue I was on crutches and we were placed on the top floor and there are no lifts this meant that we could not go out as planned due to this issue. The apartment was nice clean and well maintained just the above let it down.

We arrived in Cairns by train and the apartments are a stone's through from the main station and the shopping mall. It's also just a 15 minute walk from the quayside with many great restaurants and is the gateway to exploring the Great Barrier Reef. The swimming pool (beside the BBQ area) was a welcome relief on thos hot sticky days.
