Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Excellent location right on the Promenade and close to the night market. You basically walk out onto the waterfront and there are loads of food places nearby. Monica is very friendly as was the chap on reception who was also helpful when checking in. It's a good price compared with other options in Cairns for the same or similar.
Negative: The price point reflects what you're getting, it is a basic stay. As many of the reviews mention, the air conditioning unit in the single room is very loud but helps to muffle any noise from people dining near the Esplanade and if you treat it like 'white noise' then it's really fine. A second pillow would be nice but the bed was comfy enough without. I'd stay again
Summary: Good value for Cairns, right on the Esplanade
