I had a great stay overall, especially for my family of four. The rooms were modern and well-equipped, but they were a bit small for our taste. The service was prompt and accommodating, although it lacked a feel of warmth. The location was perfect, close to shopping and dining, which made it convenient for our daily outings. However, the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool during the hot afternoons, which was a downside.

I had a stay at a hotel that had a perfect location, just a block from the esplanade and close to everything I wanted. The rooms were clean but not as comfortable as I hoped, particularly since it didn’t cool down at night. The staff was friendly and professional, and I loved the eco-friendly vibe. The dining experience left something to be desired with limited choices. Overall, it was decent value for the price, but a few things could improve.

The hotel has a superb location, being close to the esplanade, shops, and restaurants, which made exploring very convenient. While I found the rooms a bit small, especially with two suitcases, they were generally clean. The service was incredibly friendly and efficient, making my stay pleasant. However, I did feel that the dining options were quite limited and somewhat overpriced, which was disappointing.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was excellent and the staff were truly helpful and friendly, the room itself had a strange moldy smell which was quite overpowering. Also, there was a delay in moving my bags to another room, and a couple of my belongings went missing in the process. Overall, the service was solid, but the room issues were disappointing.

The hotel has a great location that's just a short walk from the esplanade, restaurants, and attractions like Muddy's Playground. I found the rooms to be a bit on the small side, with a less-than-perfect view, but overall they were clean and comfortable. Service was a mixed bag; some staff were really lovely, but I did experience a few hiccups. For the price I paid, I expected a bit more consistency. The dining options could also be improved, as I found them slightly overpriced for what was offered.

The rooms were nice and clean, but they had a musky smell and lacked desk space, making it less than ideal for working.

I had a decent stay at this hotel. The location was great, being so close to the main strip in Cairns, which made it convenient for exploring. The two-bedroom apartment was spacious and came with an umbrella, but unfortunately, there was a bit of a musty smell due to mould and cigarette smoke. The service was friendly and accommodating, though I feel they could use a bit of polish to match a five-star rating. Overall, it offers reasonable value for money but has some room for improvement.
