Great location. Easy walking to beach, shops, night market and casino.
Older unit but had everything we needed.
Lovely helpful staff.
Down side only 6 car parks. If you miss out on a car park you have to park out side on the street.
I would definetly stay here again.

It's clean and has the necessities. Nothing fancy, but we don't need fancy. The manager was polite and helpful. We came after hours and had no problem getting our key from the lock box. A nice simple place to stay.

The Cairns City Motel is a good place to stay, it is clean, centrally located and not expensive.
It is close to the Aquarium, Markets and Waterfront Precinct.
The only downside is that the reception area is only staffed for limited hours and only has 6 off-street parking spaces.
I will definitely stay there again.

The man who runs the place was friendly, helpful and very accommodating especially since flight delays made for an extremely late check in
