Cairns getaway

We were visiting Cairns to watch our daughter play for Northern Pride we cost to stay at Cairns Sheridan as it was in between the city centre and where our daughter lives. We found the room nice and comfy, there was a pub next door which was open until 9pm for meals, the bus went straight past on Sheridan St so even if you didn't have a car public transport was close by. Would definitely stay here again. The room was nice and roomy we had a little balcony and viees of tge mountain. There was an onsite restaurant although we didn't eat there.

Stayed here 28 years ago & appears bathroom has not been updated since. Bathroom needs decent clean & update. Carpet in lifts dirty & stained. Could hear plumbing when people used showers/toilets in other rooms. Garden bed outside window was full of dead weeds. Beds were OK comfort wise but pillows not so much. Expected more for the price.
