Old fashioned motel style that fits the budget

Friendly, helpful staff on reception and ability to access the room early (around Noon). Good location with cafes nearby and the main city centre 3-4 blocks away - around 10min walk. Good internet access (I value this). Nice clean comfortable room with air con + fans Onsite parking if needed. On the whole a typical but good old fashioned motel style accommodation that is value compared with more recent hotels which charge unreasonable rates based on location rather than service.

We were so busy we only spent limited time at the hotel, which is probably for the best as the room looked out onto a car park and was nothing special. Nice small pools, good location, good spot for a stay where you get out and do activities in Cairns
