Disliked: Amenities
Under the impression we were booking more apartment with separate bedroom. When we good there, no separate bedroom and wifi was so poor we had to charge rooms and ended up in motel room and paid too much for that. Kitchenette was almost non-existent ans no real area to sit and eat so had to eat dinner out every night. Wouldn't stay here again.

The photos are not of where you are staying or were taken 20 years ago. The mattresses were stained and the walls and carpet not very clean, the lock on the door moved. There were people outside in the corridors and it didn’t feel very safe there.

Stayed here before whilst my partner was in Cairns Base Hospital. It gave me peace of mind to park my car at the property and know it was safe, especially with the gate being locked at nighttime. It is conveniently located and within walking distance of the hospital. Excellent reception and housekeeping service.

The room needs to renovated. It feels & looks like things have been bogged & siliconed very unsuccessfully. The were quite a few of the local Indigenous population just hanging which made us uncomfortable. Very comfortable beds though & very close to the northern end of the esplanade.
