Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre
The hotel is aged and somewhat dilapidated and in need of renovation. Seemed clear that minimal funds were being spent on maintenance. But the room was clean and the staff were nice. Central location is good.

Cairns Harbourside Hotel
Great location; very close to the beach, several restaurants and shopping. The rooms are are very clean, but note they are not large; little to no space for storing clothes, we left ours in suitcases on the floor. There is a kettle, tea and instant coffee which is nice, as well as mugs and wine glasses ...
