Always feels nice to stay there whenever we visit cairns to service the car or for shopping. Feels nice to return to it after being out and around Cairns for the day. Buffet breakfast always lovely. Pool refreshing. My kids love it. We chose the room without balcony as we have a toddler, so it's safe. We plan to stay there again soon.

The hotel is centrally located to the esplanade, marina, town. Several good restaurants nearby. The staff was pleasant and attentive. The room was good size but the finishes are dated and finishes needs updating particularly the bathroom which was very small. There was a musty smell in the room which improved when air condition was turned on.
