Cape York Peninsula Cheap Holidays

Pretty solid, street noise was a bit loud at times.

The hotel building is small but our room is quite spacious. Room is also kept very clean. We can see partial ocean view but that's fine. The hotel is not at the center of everything but close enough. I'd say it's a very nice 3-star hotel. However one thing I don't quite understand is its price. It's lower than the neighbouring 5-star hotels' but by just a little bit. How bad do those hotels need to be, to be priced similarly? I think this hotel definitely benefits a lot from the unusually high review scores. At least they won the business from me. But when I looked at the nearby shinny brand new Crystalbrook hotels and Double Tree, I did regret. One thing good about the Plaza hotel is that it has self-service laundry. However it was less useful than I expected. There are only two washers and two dryers. When there's someone ahead of you, you need to allocateore time for completing the task. It's OK, but the hotel also has the policy of closing the laundry at 10pm. On the last day of our stay this policy brought us headache. We accumulated quite some clothes to wash and dry, say two loads. We started task right after dinner. However due to one set of machines is used by others, our second load didn't get the chance. The staff refused to extend the hours citing security reasons. I understand and respect that, but just wanted everyone who wants to use their laundry to ne aware, that it might not be as convenient as you would think.

Couldn't fault it at all. Perfect location, close to transport, shops etc.

Location is good, but the hotel needs a serious upgrade. Sad to see the front lobby area looking so shabby. Rooms are dated. Pool area looks like it was recently done is nice. Would not book it again if it remains in the current state.

Friendly activities staff made sure we were welcomed and helped plan a great experience.

Great amenities and staff, great location, spacious room, confy beds and blackout blinds. Only negative is that the room could have been a bit cleaner

Great spacious room with all the amenities needed. Easy check in and special Thank you to Niklas for assisting with our bags and car, a nice warm welcome. Will definitely stay again when next in Cairns.
