Top Mareeba Shire Hotel Reviews

Cairns Plaza Hotel

Cairns Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good
"Excellent room with a beautiful view, great location to walk everywhere. The only issue which was constant that the wifi was not working properly in our room, we constantly were kicked off of it and no fix was offered, even though I identified this issue right away, it’s a shame as otherwise this is a perfect hotel."
