Walking distance to all major attractions (night market, lagoon, reef, rusty's and shopping) and transport (central train station for Kuranda train and buses). Very helpful staff (Ricardo and Manuel especially). Hotel was very clean, rooms were too and well appointed (espresso machine, slippers, robes). Lovely shower and Origins branded bath products (look in the drawer under the sink, it actually pulls out and contains some essentials). Only negatives were slightly musty smell of rooms, but that goes away once AC turns on, likely due to climate, and lobby needs a ramp for lugagge. I did not try the restaurants inside this hotel but CC's across the street at the Bailey was wonderful.
