The facilities were great.

Our room was raided on the 2nd night by Cairns Police with the help of hotel staff at 11.30pm. I was detained and removed from the room while my partner was questioned in bed for a domestic abuse report. After both of us saying it was the wrong room. It was confirmed they were looking for room 533 not 503, police apologised and left which was fine they were just doing their job. Hotel staff however never apologised or mentioned anything about it in the moment or at check-out. Also for context, my partner has been in the country for 2 weeks and we were staying there for mother day, we had also switched rooms with my mother & I am glad it wasn't her that had been raided. edit: management reached out at a later date and went above and beyond to make up this, we are very grateful for the efforts they made.

the family room set up was really nice. rooms were spacious and comfortable.

fact that pre-booking inclusive of breakfast was priced higher than room + buying breakfast at hotel - have never seen this before. as a result, we booked without breakfast, but found a lovely restaurant next door - Muddy's
