Debra Lea, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

We had booked this hotel on the basis that it offered breakfast. If this choice was not available we would have looked at another hotel. Unfortunately on the first morning we were told that the Chef had called in sick at short notice and therefore no breakfast was on offer. We were given a voucher foe $20 each for a cafe close to the hotel. unfortunately that voucher did not go too far to give us a good breakfast and we had to pay extra to get one main breakfast and a coffee each. Later on in the evening we were informed (only when asked) that there was no breakfast service for the weekend and once again we were provided with a similar priced voucher for the weekend. After some discussion we were offered $30 total as compensation for the extra we paid for our breakfast. There were better choices to be had near the sea front at a slightly lower cost but the voucher was

Enjoyable Stay

We arrived around noon at the hotel, our room was not available, but was able to store our luggage. Room was comfortable with all that we required for our overnight stay. We really enjoyed the Happy Hour especially by the wonderful service we received from the two personable young ladies. Sorry our memories aren’t good at remembering names, but one of the young ladies was from Chile and the other from Sardinia. The food we ordered went very well with our drinks.

Not worth it

Receptionist super nice however The room was not cleaned properly. There was rubbish in my room. We bought breakfast buffet however is not included any coffee! The the buffet is super small not choices. Swimming pool was also dirty.
Carlos, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay at Sunshine Tower Hotel! After our flight was cancelled returning to Brisbane, the lovely lady at the counter was so understanding & even upgraded us to a larger, room with great views. She also recommended the dumpling restaurant for dinner if we didn't feel like travelling far, and it was the best meal we had in Cairns! The hotel was walking distance from the shopping centre and across the road from a service station with convenience store style items in stock, which was great. We would definitely stay here if we visit Cairns again.
