Cheap and no frills.

An unorthodox place mixed in with a car rental agency, however we would stay again as it was cheap and close to everything.

As an older property it was very spacious inside and all things needed for a stay were provided; not flash but well presented. Easy walk to shops, the esplanade and the market. Will stay again if I need another overnighter in Cairns. Comfy bed, helpful staff, and great price. Only issue was early check-in - by 4:30pm and no on-site parking.
