“The recent refurbishment seems to be a smart move, bringing a fresh feel to a property that puts you within a short walk of the Cairns Esplanade swimming lagoon and its many nearby activities; plus, I noticed the pick-up service for local tours departing directly from the premises is a nice perk. What stands out is the Asian cuisine restaurant, Yum Sing, as it brings a unique flavor to the stay. Ultimately, I think it's a solid choice, especially if you're after convenience.”
