Cairns Harbourside Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The room was well equipped and the location was great (right by the beach and close to the city centre but a bit quieter and close to the airport). The staff were extremely helpful from checking my in to planning excursions, to ordering taxis, and check out. Being able to access the commercial gym nearby was a nice touch to have access to a fully equipped gym. The same day laundry service was helpful as well. The pool was great to enjoy out in the sun. The room was clean overall but some of the amenities (ex. Shower curtain) had some wear and tear from seemingly having been used for a while. Overall everything worked well though and we really enjoyed our stay! Would book again!"
