Place was very run down. Mould all through the bathroom. Drawers and cupboards falling apart. Place felt like the ghetto. Looked at the pool and ended up taking the kids to the lagoon in Cairns central instead. Glad we only had to sleep and not spend anytime in the room.

The sliding screen door couldn’t locked which was not great. And the people sitting on the footpath smoking was not great as I tired to open my door for fresh air into the room but all I got was second hand smoking.

Great room for stop over or a few days. Secure parking is a bonus. Rooms are clean and bathroom is dated but useable. Bed was comfortable. No noise outside after pool closed on time. Late check in instructions very clear and precise and had no trouble self checking in. Have stayed here many times.

There have been over the top toxic reviews of this place a while ago when now it’s a very good affordable motel room. Nothing wrong with it. Pristine cleanliness, an excellent manager, cold air con, fab outside balcony, even buscuits with the coffee and a bath to soak in. And so cheaper than similar motels. I visit cairns often and this will be my new motel to stay in.
