My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The location is amazing, right on Cairns Harbour waterfront, offering easy access to the vibrant esplanade and city center. The rooms are comfortable with gorgeous views of Trinity Inlet from the balcony, and the staff goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. However, dining options were not included, which was a minor drawback. Overall, a great value for the price!

The hotel is situated perfectly near the river with a marina view providing a prime location. The rooms feature balconies and a well-equipped kitchenette, though the cleaning service needs some advance notice. The service is top-notch with gracious staff, and the location is superb for exploring Cairns right on the waterfront. However, the dining options are limited, and there's no meal inclusion or vouchers given. Overall, a great value for money stay with excellent facilities.
