Mite hotel. Everything is dirty, from room to premises it was filthy. I usually do not put negative reviews but I am obliged to return this information. Under the beds: food, waste, dust and so on The second bed, the sheets were not even changed. Carpeting the entire hotel is more than dirty. I don't advise you to put barefoot on it. The walls are fine, we hear all the neighbors. Glaucous hotel, we don't feel safe there. The reception is open when they like. We requested cancellation of one night on the 4 before we arrived at the hotel. We were denied this request. It's the first time that's happened to us. We didn't spend the last night in this dirty room. We hope to receive a refund.

worst hotel in history. do not come here. management is horrible. the old woman that works as a manager here is so cruel & careless about everything to do with the hotel that doesn’t concern her. the rooms & hallways reek of cigarettes & there are cigarette butts left all over the balcony. the bathroom also had hair all over the sink. not cleaned one bit. had one of the housekeepers steal a bag of my belongings when cleaning my room while we were out. i went to reception, who said they have no record of the room being cleaned in the first place. which was a lie, because the beds were made & there were new towels set up. the manager made one of the poor housekeepers dig through the pick up bins for my stuff, and when we found nothing, i asked for a refund of my stuff, as i had shoes, clothes & underwear valued over $300. i even asked her to come into my room herself to check it out, which she refused & said it’s my word against the hotel’s. she said she spoke to the housekeeper that “cleaned” my room, to which she never even brought out the housekeeper to speak to me. she did not care at all, didn’t even apologise for the inconvenience she made & actually made a snarky comment about my shoes being in the same bag as my dirty clothes. no cameras anywhere except for the reception, so i can’t even find footage of someone going into my room. absolutely horrible service from this woman. don’t waste your time coming here. you will find much cleaner & safer places to stay in cairns for a better price.

Arrived 3pm, room not available until after 4pm. Restaurant, bar and guest laundry closed. Very noisy renovations during the day made it impossible to work in the room. The pool was dirty with chairs in it. The kitchen utensils supplied were not enough to cook a meal. Lucky I had my own traveling in a camper. No tea towels and not enough supplies for cleaning dishes. You pay extra to have your room serviced on a long stay. Otherwise you do it yourself including disposal of rubbish. Hallways and stairs were very dirty. Good bed and shower, plenty of room. Staff could not care about any problems. DO NOT STAY THERE FOR MORE THAN ONE NIGHT.

Supposed to stay 4 nights, when I checked I I could immediately smell a mixture of cigarettes, mould and filth. The bedding was absolutely filthy. Went to use cutlery after heating up food in the microwave and the fork appeared to have been eaten off and put directly back into the drawer. Carpet appeared to have never been vaccumed, ever and the whole place just stunk. All night long doors were slamming and banging, definitely felt unsafe. The windows outside my bedroom was damaged by what looked like a crow bar attempt to break in. Did not feel safe in this place at all day or night. The only positive was the lady at Reception who was helpful and kind. When I advised her that I needed to leave due to the state of the place, she did not seem surprised and almost looked embarrassed. Surely there are standards which need to be upheld, selling this as 4 star is completely dishonest and misleading. I would only give it 1 star due to the service of the lady on Reception. Do not book at this place because the minute you arrive, you will regret it.

The laundry gets locked at 5pm and opens at 9am. The laundry is free to use. I have been here for 4 days. The room I was staying in has not had a clean. I have to take out the rubbish from the room and have had to ask for fresh towels and soap etc. there is no plates or bowls to use and no where to wash up. The cold water tap handle came off and had to wait for the following afternoon to have a shower. This happened when arrived at the accommodation.
