Boyd

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The single bedroom suite I booked was spacious & well laid out, apart from having the outdoor patio sharing space with the airconditioning unit blowing out hot air. Probably would be better if the bedroom had its own aircon as well but it sufficed to keep me cool in bed by leaving the bedroom door open. Kitchen was well equipped, plenty of glasss & utensils & the staff were efficient & friendly. My room probably needs a new coat of paint & some of the furniture is a bit worn but good for the price.

The curtains were old and had stains all aver them. The bathroom shower cubicle leaked water all over the floor in the bathroom as water ran under the door lip on the floor. Building is old and worn and needs upgrading/updating when you pay a lot per night. Bit sad really.

Family visit to Cairns

Cairns Central Plaza had a great location, just across the street from a big shopping centre, and chemist also nearby. Easy walk to city centre, Esplanade, restaurants, train station for Kuranda, and bus stops. Friendly reception staff and housekeeping too. Everything cleaned well. View from our balcony was great, rooftop pool nice with heated whirlpool. We did find, however, that the apartment was in need of renovation: fan above stove was almost hanging off, washing machine stopped working halfway through our stay (we used communal laundry but had to pay extra), toilet seat was broken off hinge on one side and sofa was in need of a deep clean (food down the sides!). Washing machine was not fixed, nor kitchen fan, during our stay. Rooms were also not very soundproof, heard voices, telephone conversations and snoring from next door!
