I chose this property as part of an Expedia flight-hotel bundle. It’s kind of half way in between the airport and the heart of downtown Cairns. Meaning there’s not much to walk to nearby it.

Very friendly staff, very good location, at bit noise from the city at night, but what can you expect with this location. Breakfast was great. Selfparking with low clearance of 185cm was a bit of a challenge, but we managed. Next time I choose valet, when I come in a SUV
