Excellent location; very friendly checking desk. Rooms are clean and decently appointed. The hotel is old but kept quite well. Food at the Club level is ok and so is breakfast.

Had a beautiful suite with lovely views. The executive lounge was very good with lots of options for breakfast and snacks. Valet service was excellent. The only issue I can mention is the very limited options for room service.

We visited as part of the Lions tour of Australia for four days. Cairns was a great base to explore this part of Australia and we took full advantage. The hotel is a bit tired and as others have said, the coffee station at breakfast really was hopeless. It felt like a cynical ploy to drive trade towards the paid-for barista coffee. The biggest criticism is that the hotel bar shut at 9pm. I appreciate this was off-season but a full hotel without an evening bar is a missed opportunity for the management and disappointing for the guests.

The staff were absolutely lovely. The location was fantastic. Two minutes from the Esplanade where the majority of reef trips go from. A short walk to a multitude of shops and restaurants. The hotel itself is dated and in need of investment. Our room was nice and spotlessly clean. The WiFi was a challenge - in fact the WiFi on the pontoon out on the reef where we spent the day was better than the hotel!!! Breakfast was good. Lots of choice. The tea & coffee station was cramped and hazardous and needs a rethink. Overall an enjoyable stay.
