Cairns North濱海大道附近住宿

就在海邊，從陽台就能看到海。離凱恩斯市區有一點點距離，不喧鬧，也很便利。乾淨衞生服務也非常好。酒店有自己的游泳池，因為在凱恩斯住的時間比較長，所以更多的時間是在酒店的游泳池遊游泳，選擇一個透下來一點陽光的地方躺着看看書，非常好的體驗。

Weather aside (we knew this was not the right season for Cairns), the price / performance ratio for this place is not right. It is not badly maintained but also not sufficiently maintained for the climate. First glance is OK but details are not. The facility being split across a street is not mentioned anywhere we looked … and quite inconvenient when it rains as usual his time of the year. The pictures on the web site or other travel sites look nice but the truth is different, as usual. Rooms are truly spacious but the pools are not and the rooms are definitely not as immaculate as on the pictures. Just the door frame is rusted. So is the door of the fridge and the light fixture above the bathroom sink. Some of the kitchen cupboards doors show their age and do not close right. And, icing on the cake, the wifi is the lousiest you can imagine, reminding me of what 4-5-star hotels used to offer in the early 2000. Simply impossible to connect from the room, bad and iffy from the terrace, practically had to go the reception to get anything decent. And even there you would have to sign in again and again in the old-fashioned security system that is unable to recognize customers who have signed in before or maintain their connection as they wander through the complex.

Booked an interconnecting room for a family of 4. The bathroom was the worst… the tiles had been painted in the shower and were flaking paint, the shower curtain was useless and flooded the entire bathroom and we were drying it up with our towels it also had mould, the pillows were flat and hard. Box aircon could barely keep room cool. Know it’s not 5 star but expected better.

I saw ‘Cairns City’ in the title & booked, but don’t be fooled like I was as the motel is up in Cairns North, a good 15 minute walk from the Cairns CBD & Esplanade area. The view from my apartment was the Cairns State High football field on Sheridan Street. That said, the motel was decent for the price charged ($180 a night in peak season) and the Wi-fi was strong which was important as I was working remotely for a full day from my room. It’s by no means a modern motel but the room size was adequate & had everything I needed for a short 2 night stay. The room was well prepped, with a fresh tropical coconut fragrance as you walk in. There is a bit of noise from the Main Street outside and you can hear other guests next door from time to time but overall nothing too distracting. There were cafes & shops nearby within walking distance including a bakery 5 minutes up the road which does espresso coffee. But it is not a city motel & without a car it’s a hike to get to the Cairns esplanade/lagoon area where tourists normally go. On the first night I walked into town & saw the laser light show installed for the Cairns Festival near the Pier Bar & had a massage treatment at Foot & Body in Orchid Plaza.

Friendly staff who provided good local information. Room was spotlessly clean. Great for an overnight stay. Stayed with our kids and it was a safe and convenient location. Pool area was also really good. Beds were comfortable. Would stay here again.

The location is excellent, with spectacular views of the ocean - if you had an Oceanview room. I didn’t originally because my travel agent messed up. But the manager, Richard, was super helpful and was able to give me one after some work on his part. My room was spacious, clean, and had a great view on the top floor. The housekeeping was very good (they promptly replaced a worn out chair), the laundry was prompt, the premises were clean and quiet, and they had a full buffet breakfast. The best part for me was the air conditioning, which kept the room cool even when it was 94 F outside. Also, the location was less than a km from grocers and about a km from some nice restaurants on the Esplanade. So the hotel suited me perfectly.

凱恩斯是一個非常安靜的小城市，人少、風景優美，入住的公寓離機場不遠，打車過去20澳元，10幾分鐘車程。公寓離海邊也不遠，走過去10幾分鐘。公寓主人很熱情，給我們地圖，告訴我們海邊和市場怎麼走。房間很乾凈，設施齊全，因為是8月下旬去的，天氣非常好，室內不用開空調也很舒服。我們走的匆忙，把銀行卡和一些現金落在公寓，聯繫老闆后把現金直接轉給我們，把銀行卡直接絞銷了，非常值得信賴的公寓主人。

Once I got used to it (it took me a day or so), I liked the place! The manager, Mike, was laid-back, friendly and always very helpful. We arrived on a dark, rainy day and night (normal for the time of year in Cairns) and my first impressions of the accommodation were a bit gloomy: breeze-block walls (thankfully painted white), *****-lighting, a bit of a stale/damp aroma and sofa with black-tape repairs. However, for most of our stay we had sunny (and mostly dry) weather and it felt much better in the apartment and the breeze-block walls protected us from most of the neighbourhood noise. The apartment was clean and well-equipped. The cooker worked well - we didn't mind using matches to light the hobs. Good, clean toilet / shower room. The shower was powerful enough with water staying consistent at the chosen temperature. Very good value.

春節期間能有這個價位的酒店非常難得，所以，如果這個酒店能夠滿足基本的休息需求，此外還有額外的設施，那就真的是物超所值了！ 首先酒店位置距離市中心有一定距離，步行半個小時，不過市區也沒有什麼可逛的，無非就是超市買買東西。 其次酒店的設施還算齊全，基本的東西都有，晚上也能夠很好的休息，房間裏還提供了一個小廚房，可以自己做飯，這的確很加分。 最後，因為是motel，所以服務基本上是沒有的，但是前台人員都很熱情，所以不會有不舒服的感覺。

Stayed 1 night owing to its location to rental car pound and airport. Dropped car off at rentals, walked back to the hotel. Our room was ready, even though we were early, no problem, very welcoming receptionist. Room had everything we needed - but it overlooked the main Highway. We ate in restaurant that night, perfectly adequate, very helpful waiting staff. Asked hotel to arrange taxi for a 4.30 pick up. Taxi arrived on time and dropped us off at the airport. Everything went well, apart from the noise. The road is very busy till late and internally someone near to our room was having shower/bath late at night and the plumbing seemed to go right through our room.
