“The hotel occupies a prime position near the Esplanade Lagoon, placing guests steps away from Cairns' vibrant heart. Rooms are modern, though some noise issues have been reported; the rooftop bar is a highlight, despite mixed opinions regarding the prepaid breakfast system. In my opinion, the location and cleanliness are hard to fault.”

breakfast was good. i dined for breakfast a few days. staff was friendly, and the food seemed tasty. coffee was acceptable.
the hotel had one entrance right next to mc donalds. people are sitting on the steps and smoking. elevators were slow to arrive, open, and close. the parking situation was disappointing. you pay for one car park on the roof.

the rooftop restaurant was really cool with a great view (i loved taking photos from up there!). the location is super central too. it's close to the sea, the night market, and also the pier, so getting around was very easy. there are plenty of things to see and do right around the hotel.
the parking situation was a bit annoying. you have to pay for it separately and it is off site, which isn't ideal when you have a lot of luggage. also, there was only one elevator, and it seemed quite slow sometimes. it took a little while to get up and down, frustrating.
