Location info
Guest scores and detailed hotel feedback
The hotel had some mixed aspects. The rooms were simple, clean, and had nice details like security screens and adequate kitchenware, but there were cleanliness issues like a smelly carpet and hair in the bathroom. The service was a bit inconsistent, with both extremely nice and rude staff members. The location was convenient with good access to attractions, but it could use some updates. The dining options were basic, with limited variety. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel has a great location on the outskirts of Cairns, ideal for visiting friends and family in the Gordonvale area. The rooms were clean and tidy, although the room decor felt a bit basic like staying in someone's garage. The service was responsive to requests, but there were instances of rude behavior with hidden costs implied. The dining options were of good quality, with a seafood buffet available within walking distance to the beach and CBD. The location was quiet and safe, with a great pool and a nearby village shopping center providing convenience.
The hotel rooms were big, nice, and comfortable with a double and a single bed, well-appointed, and the pool was awesome. It fit the purpose well and was equipped with microwave and cutlery. The service was exceptional, with cuddly toys arranged nicely on the bed, and the motel had done a lot of work to make it lovely. The location was convenient, with Maccas and shops within walking distance, and easy access to the city and other shopping centers. The dining experience offered toast, cereal, tea, and coffee within walking distance to food. Overall, the hotel was a great stay with some minor drawbacks.
