I loved my stay at the hotel. I appreciated the two types of bottled water provided in the room, as well as the drink vouchers and game tokens. I was also allowed an early check-in and a late check-out. The staff were all very friendly and professional. I can't recommend this hotel enough, and if I ever come back to Cairns, I'll definitely stay here again.
