Our room 324 was antiquated and the shower/bath is very dated . On arrival we found it extremely difficult to turn the hand basin taps on and then off after using them to stop them dripping all night . No plugs in either bath or basin and we killed 3 cockroaches. We felt the room hadn’t been used for some time ? The bed was very comfortable but the balcony was cramped and the table wobbly and with weeds growing in the brickwork together with broken tiles. The TV cupboard doors inside were hanging off and there was a strange smell from ( we think ) the carpet The one big plus is the location, absolutely perfect and central to everything although the city view is not the best The maintenance man who came to our assistance was brilliant although there was little he could do at such short notice except to provide deodoriser for the smell . Fortunately none of the above spoilt our short break to Cairns.
