The room was cleaned daily. There are no restaurant facilities but Balaclava across the road does really good food. Bus stop to Cairns right outside the front of the hotel, convenient and reliable service.

Very clean throughout the property. Room was reasonable size with a very comfortable bed. Included was a fridge, microwave together with plates, cutlery and wine glasses. Only thing annoying was the cheap Kogan TV that was a Google TV that was slow to start up and requires registration.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
There were serious concerns about security and privacy. Some room key cards were broken, and the large opening around the lock was covered only by a cheap plastic panel that could easily be removed by hand. I was also shocked that housekeeping entered my room twice while I was in the shower, without warning... These issues made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe during my stay.
