Great
GGuest UserAlthough it is far from the city center, there are many playgrounds, including three pools, so elementary school students can play all day. You can cook your own meals in the room, so I grilled some Aussie beef steaks I bought at the supermarket on the gas stove in the facility and ate them. You can get to the city center by bus, so you don't need a taxi. I would like to visit again.

AAnonymous UserIt was a hassle free check in . We were advised on how to get inside the hotel since our check in was quite late already. The room is so spacious and clean . The location is in the heart of CBD which was so convenient for us

KKat OThe building is a little older but the staff do their best to keep it clean and tidy. We informed Mr Mike Scott of our room aircon condition and he immediately helped us to check and changed to another room #17 for us. Thank you so much. The accommodation provides everything that you will need for a family holidays from the pool, complete kitchen, to the laundry facilities. It is very convenient and accessible to all places via DiDi, Uber and public buses. Thank you Mr Mike Scott and team!

QQINGThis hotel is very good. We are a family of three adults and one child. The room is very large, with a double bed (1.5 meters wide) and two single beds, separate bathroom, refrigerator, microwave oven, dishes, cutlery and forks. Spoons and toasters are very convenient. The hotel has no breakfast and no extra bed. It is suitable for a family. It can be said to be very good at this price. The hotel also has free parking spaces, free Wi-Fi, and a small swimming pool. The hotel is 1.2 kilometers away from the bustling beach area. You can eat and drink when you stroll. The location of the hotel is within the range of free pick-up and drop-off for day trips, which is very convenient.

GGuest UserBed is comfy, sheets are clean but blankets looks not washed, so we did not use it. Toilet is clean and love the shower. Facility is really old, needs updating.

KKEVIN LI BANGnice place, very conveniently and lively. the roads in the park are a bit tight though and expect some bugs.
6.9/10
GGuest UserWhen we arrived at the reception, the door was locked, and no one is at the counter. The gd thing was we were allowed to leave our luggage near the reception cabinet due to early arrival in the morning, while we went for our day tour. We are able to collect our key in their deposit box which is well arranged. Our luggages were carried to out room, which is considered a good service. Unfortunately. one of our luggage handle was damaged without informing us at all! TV is not working, and wifi is totally non-existence.

李李The only regrettable hotel in Australia and New Zealand.
Let me talk about the advantages firstly: it is close to the beach, only a few minutes walk, you can walk, no beach, and the sea water is cloudy. Walk to the city center for about half an hour and there are buses.
Besides the disadvantages: the hotel is old, the Wi-Fi signal is often not available, the room is crammed, the kitchen operation table is next to the bed, and you have to be very careful when washing. There was also a striking warning-1,000 fines for triggering a smoke alarm. The swimming pool downstairs was completely unused, with leaves and unknown objects floating in it.
The most frustrating thing is that the ants on the wall are all in the tea cup after returning for a while. At night I crawled into my neck!
Will not go again.

GGuest UserBecause the room was set up late, it was settled the night before the trip. I thought someone would pick up when I got off the plane. It turned out that I needed to book one day in advance, and I felt very upset. However, the subsequent services, facilities, and breakfast were very good and the hygiene was very good. It's just that there are more mosquitoes in Cairns, so you can sit down and prepare in advance, or you can spray the insect medicine in the store. The pool was clean and changing water frequently (I saw the water change after staying for four nights). The attitude of the boss was very good, the keys were lost, and I rushed over in the middle of the night without any complaints, thank you very much! !!
