Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a great place to stay! The staff was great. It's a great location. The whole place is very clean. The bathrooms are huge and it was very comfortable. It's very walkable and a Woolworths right across the street. Walking distance to the night market, day market and the pier for the boats to the Great Barrier Reef. The building as a whole is older and we only got 1 key. But we didn't ask for a second. The building is well kept and very clean. The room has a fridge and an electric kettle. I would highly recommend this hotel! It's a great value!

Disliked: Amenities
The type of place I would expect to find bed bugs and hidden cameras. Bedding and towels were clean but the rooms are extremely outdated. No outlets near the bed. Felt like I had to shower with flip flops because of all the mildew and stains in the shower. I saw the breakfast buffet (around $12pp), but chose to get breakfast elsewhere. You get what you pay for and next time I would spend a bit more to stay somewhere cleaner and more modern.
