"Fan switch was broken, so it was almost impossible to change it or turn it off. Photo of property in Expedia was very misleading, in terms of location, surroundings and how everything seemed new or polished within the room. Not enough cups, plates and no screens for windows to stop bugs. Again, very misleading. Properties must be shown as they are."

Cairns Harbourside Hotel

Cairns Harbourside Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay! We had easy access to so many places, and the view was wonderful from our room. Bed was comfortable but the room definitely needs some updating. The bathroom made a lot of loud noises. We also enjoyed the food at breakfast and in room service. Overall we definitely would recommend staying here!"
