The room was comfortable and had a good view over the city. The property itself is aging and requires some maintenance. For example, the toilet seat was not properly fastened and nearly came off.
Arriving was tricky. The owners close the front desk sbout 6 p.m., and since my transportation to Cairns arrived about that time, I had to make arrangements with management. That proved difficult without an Australian phone number, so I had to quickly get an eSIM. Fiinal arrangements were made, but turned out to be incorrect. Fortunately, I arrived Ameities expected at most hotels were not included in the apartment: no bathroom soap, shampoo, or conditioner (fortimate;y I had some of my own).
In sum, this property is managed more as an apartment complex than as a hotel, though it is very convenient to downtown, especially the train station. That's what formed my choice, and I did enjoy downtown Cairns, though it seemed a little sleepy in the evening.
