My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were great - big, comfortable, and clean, though the 1 bedroom apartment was a bit awkward to get to. The service was superb; the staff looked after us very well. The location was good with opportunities for enjoyable walks, but safety was a concern at night. The dining experience was satisfactory. The facilities were decent.

The location is over 2km from the city center, which could be a downside if you don't have a vehicle for daily activities. On the positive side, the pool and BBQ area were great amenities.

This motel is a basic and clean option for those looking to navigate around Cairns easily. The rooms are no-frills but well-equipped, albeit with limited kitchen supplies. The friendly service and full facilities make it a decent choice, though some noise disturbances in the area could be a downside.
