Great service ! The reception is very nice.
The net work is not working while we were there, which is a little bit disappointed as I couldn't watch the tennis at night.

Great hotel and room. We stayed in the King executive room which was very spacious and had a big balcony. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The beds were little unfortunately but overall I had a great experience.

I love Cairns! This hotel is very conveniently located! Australia's ecological protection is really good! The hotel is very close to the pier and the night market, and the most important thing is that the bath water is very big!
The bath water is what I am most satisfied with! The room is clean and white, the location is good, and it is convenient to take a taxi! Oh, it's really great!
Chinese people will definitely go right to book this hotel!

It seems to be a new hotel in Cairns. The room is big. The decoration is also new. The service attitude of the hotel staff is very good. It is very close to the night market and supermarkets. There are so many delicious foods at the night market. The location is very good.
