The hotel had a mix of experiences; the rooms had a horrible smell initially, but were otherwise spotlessly clean with efficient service and helpful staff. The location was convenient, close to various amenities and attractions, although not as good as other nearby hotels. The dining options were limited, and the overall facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel rooms were nice and fresh, featuring a king-sized bed, spacious, and very clean, although not as roomy or bright as its sister hotel Riley. The view faced into the hallway of other rooms.

The service was very pleasant overall. Although there was a small issue with processing my gift card, the staff was helpful and professional. I particularly enjoyed the eco-friendliness and the great grab & go coffee and snack bar.
Location

The location was walking distance to restaurants, the park, shopping center Woolies, and close to meeting points for tours to the islands. It was not as good as Riley and Vincent hotels but still lovely.

The dining experience was very ordinary, possibly due to dining close to finishing time with limited offerings. The breakfast was self-served every morning, but unfortunately, I wasn't informed about it at check-in.

The hotel had a great location offering views of the Foreshore and boats, with a short stroll to restaurants and cafes. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the air conditioning struggled to cool them adequately during the afternoon. The dining experience was satisfactory but not included in the stay. The overall value for money was good with proximity to all Cairns has to offer.

The rooms on the western side of the property were clean and comfortable, but the air conditioning had difficulty cooling the room to the desired temperature during the afternoon. We had to move rooms, albeit with a delay in getting our bags moved. There was a slight issue with the smell of the room.

The dining options were good, but not included in the stay. Before 1 PM, dining was available, and Sicilian cunzato bread was a standout option.

The shower/bathroom was lovely, and there were good movie options available. However, the facilities could have been a bit more inviting overall, potentially affecting the overall experience. The hotel provided dry cleaning, housekeeping, a welcome drink, and tours/ticket assistance, enhancing the stay with essential amenities and services.

The hotel had some cleaning issues initially in the rooms, but they were ultimately immaculately clean, albeit a bit small to fit two large suitcases. The rooms were ready upon check-in, yet the air conditioner struggled to cool down adequately even at its coldest setting.
