We had a pleasant stay. Not too far too walk to most things of interest, restaurants etc.
I love Cairns. I came here for diving and snorkeling, Escape on Lake hotel is in a great location near the Esplanade, restaurants, the Aquarium and the shopping center. Rooms are clean, simple and quiet. Coming back to Cairns, I will know what hotel I will make a reservation to.

I come to Cairns often. Rooms are neat and tidy and spacious. Lake Street has some unsavoury folk and was awoken to some yelling matches in the middle of the night but can’t blame the accommodation for that.

I flew into Cairns a few days early before joining a tour group.
While Escape On Lake is small compared to the more notable accommodation, it is good value.
Checkin was easy, and despite missed messages by both myself and the hotel, they had the room ready by lunchtime. Very welcoming after an early morning flight!
The room was spacious with good facilities including a microwave for basic cooking needs.
The main city centre of Cairns is one block down the street, so quite easy to walk around exploring then back to the hotel.
All in all, good value
