- ronald (10/5): - Close to everything
- frederic (10/5): -
- Beth (8/5): -
- Adrian L63 (9/5): Value - A good value motel. Clean, tidy and everything just worked. Would happily stay here again for the price. Nothing. The decor is a little dated but you can see that in their photos.
- McLachlan (10/5): - Location to shops etc. Quiet.
- Ian (8/5): - Good location
Quiet and clean Nothing
- Emma (8/5): -
- Susan (6/5): Adequate - Location central. MALE STAFf MEMBER PARTICULARLY HELPFUL. HE SORTED MISSING TV REMOTE AND ORDERED US A TAXI FOR EARLY MORNING DEPARTURE Receptionist obviously new to the job and very vague about taxi service available. We are both in our 80s and there was no offer to help carry heavy suitcase up the stairs. Only one tea cup in unit. Curtain not attached properly and it fell down during the night
- Nancy Anita (9/5): Had a good undisturbed sleep - Arrived late, key was in the box as promised. Everything went smoothly. Could have used some bottles of water, as I don't drink tap water Bit of some drunken noise, but it stopped quickly
- Jessie (8/5): -
- M (10/5): -
- Harry (10/5): -
- DarcyTraveller (7/5): - The kitchenette with the microwave and fridge in the room was convenient. The location is great - close to the Cairns hub.
- Sharyn (7/5): -
- Bondera (7/5): - It's proximity to everything. The floor was sticky like it needed cleaning
- Conway (10/5): - Everything. Location perfect, walking distance to everything, train station, buses, wharf, Esplanade walk, restaurants, bars, plaza across the road ie Coles, Woolies etc. Room so spacious. Best wardrobe and facilities they thought of everything. Beautiful towels, big bed, ironing board and iron. Washing facilities near buy, clothes horse and washing basket. Coffee and tea facilities. Great fridge and microwave. Containers for good , great crockery and cutlery. I was on the ground floor so the pool was right out the door. Lovely sitting on my porch enjoying a wine. Choice of AC or fan. Plenty of blankets. Very secure too. I'm definitely going back and would highly recommend. Thanks so much to all the staff and reception, so kind.
- Peta (8/5): Enjoyable, friendly staff and our room had everything we needed. Just a short walk to the ocean and the heart of Cairns - Location excellent and good value. Outdated motel, noisy air con, ceiling fan didn’t work well.
- Robert (7/5): - Close to town very clean Shower bit small
- Kat (10/5): -
- Joseba (9/5): -
- Robert (6/5): - It is close to town others may be closer, but sad that the $170 you say was in credit, I never got it also sad I paid for 2 people only myself because I thought get better deal by saying 2 adults Only thing was the shower bit small
- Amos (10/5): Great place - Location and convenience. Nice staff. Easy parking. I Was asked for a $100 deposit.
Bring your own pillow.
- Dayle (7/5): The room was clean and the staff member was friendly. The room was adequate and the price was fair, - It was close to the city and convenient. It was a little old looking.
- Kirkwood (10/5): It was only a one night stay, but followed a previous longer stay. The stay was comfortable and suited us perfectly. - We had an afternoon trip, but we could leave our luggage there early. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was very clean. Only thing they need to ensure that they are more compatible to the modern connectivity age. More accessible plugs for recharging and consider a more unrestricted WiFi connection. Mentioned connectivity already.
- Glen (5/5): Could be a good little motel in the middle of town if a bit tlc was applied - Location and price Lightning was poor, barely could see by using the main ceiling light, my phone put out more light. A louvre was missing in the bathroom and could see into the room across from me, no window covering. So no bathroom privacy, would be bad for any young lady to stay there. No fan controls to turn the fan speed up as the air conditioner was around the corner from the bed. A Brocken light fitting on the wall near the aircon, well I think it was a light but not sure.
- CHAD (7/5): Good budget stay close to all amenities. - Walking distance to town etc. 6 car spots for 15 rooms. Had to park away from the property.

- Katrina (9/5): Really enjoy the location and always stay there when in Cairns - The bed definitely and how close the location is to things Having to leave at 10
- Conor (4/5): No smoke alarm - Lady at reception was nice No smoke alarm in bedroom, goes against federal law in Australia. There was a spot in the ceiling where there used to be a smoke alarm but was removed.
There was also a smell of stale cigarettes in the room.
- Tevfik (4/5): -
- Mei-See (10/5): -
- Daniela (7/5): - Overall it's fine for spending the night, clean, with facilities in good condition and a good location.
- Jacki (6/5): - Location and the rooms felt clean. Felt like we had everything we needed for our quick trip. Our stay was comfortable Just the shower pressure and temperature regulation was a little frustrating.
- Deanne (8/5): An old style motel but clean and comfortable and a great location - Great location, great price
- moloney (9/5): Great. 👍 - It’s very handy to town. I walk everywhere so it was great. It had a microwave I eat cheap so the microwave was great. Occasionally I eat out.
N tea n coffee of coarse. The bed was comfy. The price was exceptional. The shower was a little tricky but worked it out pretty quick.
- Mandi (8/5): Would recommend for overnight stay, older style accommodation but room was very clean - Very clean, great value for an overnight stay. We had a late arrival and procedure for late check in was easy.
- Ray (5/5): If on a tight budget and not a fussy client the Motel is ok for a few nights. - Five minute walk to waterfront.
Comfortable queen bed with blanket instead of a heavy quilt
Quiet area no traffic noise
close to CBD shops
Accepted baggage when on early arrival
Car parking right at motel unit door. Tiny frig with no ice trays
Shower needs overhaul
Shower taps very tight to turn off /needs new washers
Tiny inground pool

- leanne (6/5): -
- Louise (7/5): - Good location, comfortable bed. Bathroom could be better equipped with shower curtain
- Andrea (10/5): - We liked the location, floor level room and comfortable bed. People smoked sitting outside their rooms. The smell was quite strong.
- Lizzie (6/5): Basic motel but great location - Quite a basic motel, could’ve done with a refresh in the room. Was fine for one night before travelling to the airport. Pool was small, big washing machines and driers so great to get your laundry done before a flight!
- Ian (8/5): - Position was excellent .
Accommodation was dated but very clean and comfortable
- Nicole (10/5): Fantastic weekend away! - Great place to stay, nothing fancy just what you need. N/A
- Alberto (5/5): Fair but it is not great value for money - Good location, room is relatively spacious and nice bathroom with a warm shower. It is good enough to spend one night or a weekend. There is no 24-hour reception, the room had mold and room maintenance isn't great. Bed sheet had a few stains, and the motel is just open without proper security. I woke up in the middle of the night with two people yelling at each other and clearly one of them wasn't hosted at the motel. The other one was trying to push them out of the property. Quite distressful.
