Sabrina, 9-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient location close to airport. Unfortunately just a one night booking so unable to access tourism services which appear to be a specialty of this property. Sadly another motel that hadn’t bothered to provide any milk in room

Great place to stay in Cairns

Lovely place to stay and very convenient to the hospital that I needed to visit. Very convenient to shops, eateries and the main areas of Cairns! A quick walk to the lovely walk along the foreshore.

Christopher, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good motel in excellent location to ocean front. Lovely pool. Helpful staff...room was very dirty and carpet in such a humid environment gave the room a certain aroma of dampness
Emma, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

One night in Cairns

Excellent service - very helpful and obliging. Room a little tired and maybe could have been a touch cleaner.
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and clean

Overnight stay as it was conveniently located near the airport for my flight the next morning. The room was large and everything was clean. The bed was comfortable. The air conditioning and ceiling fans worked a treat. I arranged an after hours check in in advance, and both this and the check out the next morning were seamless.
Anita, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A spacious unit in a good location. The bathroom needed someone to get in there with some exit mould (something strong) and do a good scrub.
Sarah, 1-night trip

Very outdated hotel. In need of some TLC

Mixed bag

Late check in procedures worked well and bed was comfortable. Dust build up around the windows and bathroom bin had not been emptied so a little off putting. A bit dated and run down overall but good for a short stay.
Kerrie, 1-night trip

Disgusting

Bathroom hadn't been cleaned. Reception stunk, the grounds are neglected, and the facilities/rooms are very tired.

But the only thing that bothred me that tge hand wash and the shampoo and condition wasnt full it was empty and the siding door doesnt work like i was their with my daughter and i didnt get a good sleep bexause pf thw door
Ibuai, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's an old property and little bit off centre but that's a benefit as it is a quiet location. There are enough eating places within a 15/20 minute walk, that you don't go starving. Makes it convenient. The cleanliness, though, can be improved significantly. We checked in around 8PM to find one of the beds unmade, a wrapping strap on the sofa and we also found a dead cockroach in one of the kitchen cabinets while looking for plates.
Sourish, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Ruined my holidays

1. Hotels.com says Daily housekeeping, but it is Not. It is done only once every 4 days, even the towel. 4 people have to share One towel together. 2. Sofa is worn out and black fake leather came off and cover all over my clothes. 3. Poor wifi 4. So many cockroaches 5. Housekeeping takes a couple of hours. I needed to check and ask 5 times for housekeeping. No communication between staffs

Megan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I went in and got attacked by mosquitoes., the air-conditioning didnt work and I couldnt find anyone at reception, I had to go look for a coffee cup as there was only 1 in the room which was for 2 people. We had the fans up high due to the airconditioner not working and they made rather loud noises. It was very rundown sorry i would only rate it a 2 star and the price is way to high for a 2 star.
Maria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay

Motel has everything you need , clean and staff friendly and helpful
Matthew, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The facility is aging with smelly carpeting that desperately need replacing. Furniture is spartan. Kitchen is minimally equipped. The key to the room turns on the electricity so when you leave for the day, room can heat up to inhospitable levels. Shower is good sized with adequate water pressure. Bed only has a thin sheet instead of a comforter or duvet. View from balcony was of a side alleyway with rubbish.
Paul, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Wir sind kurz vor Mitternacht in Cairns angekommen und die Zugangscodes für den Late Check In waren dann auch da - muss gestehen, dass ich da etwas nervös war, nachdem bis 20 Uhr keine Info kam aber alles perfekt dann. Zimmer inkl Bad etc war sauber, hier und da sicherlich in die Jahre gekommen und (auch aufgrund der generellen Luftfeuchtigkeit) ein wenig modriger Geruch. Der größte Kritikpunkt an unserer Nacht hier hat nur mittelbar mit dem Motel zu tun, aber letztendlich gab es keine Möglichkeit dies zur Sprache zu bringen (Rezeption nur 24/7 besetzt). Im Zimmer (oder Zimmern) über uns gab es bis 3 Uhr Party mit Musik quer durch Haus und über den Balkon. So war an Schlaf bis 3 Uhr nachts nach einem Interkontiflug nicht zu denken. Und verständlicherweise hatten wir wegen Late CheckIn auch nicht das ruhigste Zimmer , so dass ab 6/7 Uhr aufgrund der Hellhörigkeit die Nacht auch zu Ende war. Unterm Strich war die Übernachtung sehr getrübt und wir hätten uns gewünscht, dass die Ruhestörung seitens des Motels irgendwie geregelt worden wäre.
