Good basic hotel not too far from CBD or airport.Only problem is the showers .We have stayed on 3 recent occasions and the showers remain an issue.The metal edge surrounding the shower is vey low and not sealed to the tiled floor resulting in a flooded bathroom every time it is used.Same problem in every room we have stayed in.An easy fix would be a new higher edge properly sealed to the floor. This would also save towels being used as floor cloths!

I originally stayed at the Queens Court as it looked really nice and was centrally located. Once I get there, I was given my room and went to go there and it was on the 3rd floor of Building C. Looking for an elevator, there was none!! Had to lug all luggage up 3 flights of stairs and ever time we came in or out of the hotel go up or down the 3 flight of stairs. Did not know this until we got there. I would have booked elsewhere if I had know this as we are traveling for several weeks and had several large bags of luggage. Also, the parking was very limited. Several times we had to park outside the hotel designated parking and in the street. I did not appreciate that as I paid for parking and was not able to use that space. The hotel was OK, a bit dated, it did have good lighting. We were told when we checked in to make sure we closed the doors behind us when entering and exiting the building as to prevent unwanted people entering in the building. Make me a bit nervous. Overall, was just an OK experience and I will not be returning to use the hotel again.

Tolles Motel. Das Personal war überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit. Unser Zimmer sehr sauber und sehr zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Insgesamt bietet das Motel neben einem schönen Pool auch ein schönes Ambiente neben dem Pool. Vom Motel sind es ca. 10 Geh-Minuten zum Strand und ca. 30 Spazier-Minuten zur Innenstadt und zum attraktiven Touristen Hotspot im Hafenbereich. Wir würden gerne wieder dort einmieten.

Images on the website and directories did not reflect the room at all. We had issues with the aircon on the first night. We were told to ring out of hours who didn’t pick up until the 10th attempt and then he was extremely rude and non helpful. The shower was very powerful. Although it was a wet room it practically flooded our room after use. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch, but other than that a very basic hotel.

The security door leading to the stairs outside of our room was broken and did not close properly, thereby allowing anyone to enter. The first morning we found our $20 box of gourmet pastries swarming with bugs. We approached the staff about it and they were dismissive and stated that you cannot have food out in the rooms without getting bugs. They made no attempt to resolve the issue. The next evening we saw two roaches in our room. We had to keep our luggage in our car to avoid getting bugs in our luggage. This was the worst place we have ever stayed.

The first night the night manager was rude and I had to chase her down for a blanket. The second room looked clean enough until I had a day rest and woke up to rodents (ants) biting me in the bed. I will add some photos to show. I would like a refund I am not happy at all with this stay

Just not what was advertised. I booked a budget room thinking that the pictures on the website were of the budget rooms but I was very wrong. The pictures are of a separate part of the accomodation. The budget accomodation has separate bathrooms to the room that are shared with the entire floor. The shampoo and conditioner provided in a massive pump bottle was broken in both showers, the bathrooms were so old and had clearly had several parts replaced over the years that had never been painted over. Staying there was doable but not what was advertised at all.

Positives: The room is a good size and the balcony was great. Friendly staff. Close to the airport and only a 20 minute walk to town and the train station. Negatives: It's loud if your room is near the road (cars and trucks). We weren't allowed to check out even 15 minutes later so our laundry could finish, and we had to finish packing in the pool area outside. There should be some flexibility, especially since there are limited hours for the laundry room. Staff at the reception is only available until 8:00 p.m. which is very odd for a hotel and there is a fee to pay if you call after hours. The power on our floor went out in the evening, and we were just told someone would come and fix it soon, but it was several hours without power, which was very inconvenient. The bathroom fan was full of dust and could use a cleaning.

The staff were good property is adequate room way to small for the fee charged. On check in the staff member was helpful however prior to arrival I received a text saying “We are excited to welcome you to K2 Cairns Queens Court! As part of your arrival process, please complete your pre-check-in at the following link: The pre-check-in is a MANDATORY step prior to your arrival Not an easy process when you are driving the Bruce Hwy at 100kph so I got the passenger to read it out and do it for me, but No they require a signature, so forget that! Eventually we go to the motel only to be told it’s not mandatory. To the management thanks for the extra stress. On check out the staff members I dealt with were excellent. Do I see myself going back, Probably not!

I was locked out of the hotel when I arrived at 11 PM! I called them hours before my arrival and was told I would receive check in instructions either by message or I could call on arrival. All I needed to check in was a code for the key safe. They didn’t message and didn’t answer the phone so I was stranded outside with no way of getting access to the hotel. If it weren’t for Expedia support relocating me to another hotel, I would have been SLEEPING ON THE STREET! The next morning they sent me the following: “ Morning apologies with the distruption in our phone service last night. We have credited your night stay. We apoliogise for any inconvienence this may have caused”… grammar, spelling mistakes and all.

I drove 10 hours and collected my key from the safe because I arrived after closing time. My son helped me to the room with my belongings, but the touch card wouldn’t open the door despite multiple attempts. When we knocked, the door was opened by another couple who were already staying in the room I had been booked into. I was tired and upset after a long drive. This was a very stressful and unacceptable experience — I expect better organisation and a prompt resolution.

The showers were a bit mid, though, as water constantly leaked out from the borders. Otherwise, we loved our accommodation and would definitely stay here again!
