Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns
"The plumbing needs replacing/updating. Water had no pressure, taps were hard to turned off to prevent dripping and drainage was really slow so we couldn’t have an enjoyable shower…Otherwise it’s a great place to stay especially the location."

Cairns Harbourside Hotel
"Harbourside Hotel is directly across the street from the beautiful (waterfront) esplanade, which we walked each night of our stay. Richard at the front desk was very welcoming and provided helpful dining suggestions. The breakfast buffet has a good selection of food options."

Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre
"The room size was generous. The taps and shower head were awkward. Not easy to turn on or off. In general, the property was quite dated. Maintenance required on fan switch. Window shutters let in too much light."
