Centrally located- no frills
Hotel is as advertised, in need of renovation but we always had the pool to ourselves and apartment was very spacious. So if you are on a budget and after a no frills place to stay in central Cairns I highly recommend.

Stayed at the Horizon suite club room. Got a great view of the marina. Breakfast and Dinner snacks were great in the Club room... staff were friendly too. Hotel is a bit dated, and the bed was a bit soft for us. Missing a Spa/Sauna. But still a 5 star stay for us.
