Good value
We appreciated the comparable price. Flew in from the Torres Strait for a family event in Cairns. With kitchenette and on Mulgrave Road and relatively close, it was a nice stay.

Not too bad for what you pay for.
Comfortable bed and great shower, room was clean. Only small things lacking like an ironing board for the iron, no tissues or face washers and the shower head showers the roof as well as your body. Otherwise value for money if you’re not too fussy.

Very comfortable bed and great shower. Mosquitoes were a problem. A broom would have been handy and a plug for the basin.
Very friendly staff.

Liked how clean it was in the room. Staff were great. Pool was not clean, therefore we didn't have a swim. Overall it was a pleasant stay.
