Honestly for the price it was excellent I am not sure about the lower rooms but I went for the executive ocean queen room and the view was stunning. The building on the outside is run down but the inside is good the rooms are clean and the food from room service was actually really good. For the price I was super happy and would stay here again when I come back. Bathroom etc not modern but clean and what I needed. Staff were friendly, I understand the other reviews however go for the queen ocean room and its fantastic value for money

Good position to central Cairns and room was a good size. Had to move ironing board from wardrobe to be able to use the 4 hangers provided. No drawers to put clothing in for our 8 day stay. Room was not cleaned on a regular basis and we had to insist on fresh towels for each day. Reception staff were excellent.

The room was on level 12 with a breathtaking view of the harbor. Very clean bedroom and the toilet. Big beds, clean sheets, kettle, tea and coffee. You can borrow for free special towels for the pool as well. Breakfast was quite rich with a variety of dishes, fruits, bakery , coffee, tea and juices. The hotel participates in an eco friendly and sustainable project- if u don’t want your room to be serviced, u will get $10 voucher for each day stay which can used in a bar or a restaurant. Great. We enjoyed the ice cream.
