Rooms are often comfortable, some spacious with balconies or swim-out access, but a number are described as tired, and a few guests reported mould smells or maintenance issues. Service is frequently described as warm and helpful, though a minority experienced poor after-hours support or confusing policies. A practical choice for an easygoing stay, with comfort depending on the specific room and conditions during your visit.

My stay was good but I guess a bit disapointing for the fact that the room was not so spacious, and that the swimming pool was not a swimming pool but just a basin to refresh your self, deep of 1.1m only. I also did not excpet that my bed and towels have not been changed in five days, but this is what the receptionnist said to me about this hotel. Concerning the location, it is very good but the city is so small that it could not be different than good.

Great location in the heart of Port Douglas’s shops. Restaurants and bars. However the facilities are sadly dated and a full renovation is needed, the pools were tragic. You get what you pay for!

The location of the facility was good being in the centre of the town, close to shops and restaurants. Unfortunately we were on the second floor and the lift was not working and therefore had to carry heavy bags up and down three flights of stairs which was not communicated prior to our stay. I was under the impression that the lift was being fixed but it was still not fixed when we left - this was poor communication and there was assumption that we were physically capable of navigating stairs on a daily basis.

A nice hotel in the heart of the Main Street, The room was clean , tidy and comfortable. Only real negative of this hotel is for anyone with mobility issues.. there are lots of stairs around the hotel and the lift doesn’t take u to all rooms .

Great location and walking distance to everything in Port Douglas. Friendly staff, and cool AC. The pools are terrific and great for kids with shallower parts on the wide steps. There was also a reptile show that was really great! In the future however I would definitely book a swim out room for convenience, the hotel rooms are a little smaller and we had to walk up many stairs which got a little tiresome. Overall terrific property, especially for the price.

Overall the property was well maintained. It is conveniently located near shopping and dining. There are no lifts as a low level site however 4 flights of steps to the top floor plus 2 more to the car park. Pool area was nice with a well equipped outdoor BBQ area was inviting.

Never Staying Here Again Giving 3 stars only because the bed and pillows were decent — but the rest was a mess. I asked staff if I could heat the room and they told me it was possible — but later I found out the system only cools, no heating at all. When I called guest services for help, they told me to “just play with it” or search online. We were cold and sick, so I requested blankets — but after 5 PM, all requests cost $25 because there’s no staff on-site. That’s outrageous. I ended finding them by myself the staff does not even know them have them. The elevator doesn’t reach all floors, so I had to carry heavy luggage up stairs. None of this is disclosed on their site, nor the fact that there’s no support after hours. For the price we paid (not cheap!), there was: • No cleaning for 3 days • No extra towels • Loud music at night • Dirty carpets Eddie at reception was helpful, but the woman at guest services was careless and unhelpful. Never staying here again. This place charges hotel prices with zero service.

・Tea stains on the dishes were noticeable. It would be best to bleach them. ・After dinner, when I went to bed, it was a little chilly so I asked for a blanket, but I was told that the service had ended and they couldn't give one to us. ・The room smelled moldy ・There were food crumbs on the dining chairs that looked like they had been there for a while.

Definitely not worth the premium price. We paid for a private swim up suite and found a small, dirty, unappealing pool which was completely overlooked from the back of a small shopping centre. The suites are in a seperate part from the hotel, attached to the shopping centre. Access was from a dank basement shared with store cupboards and shopping centre toilets. Other issues included mould (all over the bathroom) an useable kitchen with sticky surfaces and to get into the shower, you need to step over a knee high wall in the bathroom. Certainly not suitable if you're not agile. I'm tall and fairly flexible and have bruises and cuts on my knees from it. The entire hotel is also a maze of stairs, so wouldn't recommend if you have lots of luggage!

Excellent location for bars/restaurants. Useless lift does not give access to all floors, rooms at back of property are very noisy. Lorikeets will wake you all night and then freezer truck sits outside rear for an hour from about 5:45am, oh! and the only day we could lay in they had maintenance going on in room next door . Great if you dont like to sleep.

Loved the close proximity to Macrossan Street with all the restaurant options and Four-mile beach. we couldn’t believe how many stairs they were around the property, so if you’re carrying luggage, it’s unavoidable. But disappointingly we had an incident with a male staff member on Thursday night where we asked for a Wi-Fi password and we were told that if we are not a member then we do not get complimentary Wifi . The reason we contacted reception was that in our room was a note informing us that Wi-Fi is complimentary and the password is located in our room. Key wallet . we then brought this to the attention of the staff member and No apology was given by that staff member for the rudeness which weI found very unprofessional.. We are quite happy to be contacted in regards to this matter. But to sum up the property and our experience, besides the incident we would be happy to stay here again as the location is perfect for somewhere to sleep the night after a long day out, exploring the beauty of what this region offers.

We liked everything about this property. 2A 2C (7-9) and booked 2 bed apartment. Bed arrangement was great. 2mins walk to Coles and all other major shops in Main Street. Great pool. We love how it’s connected by a walk way to the Main Street also for ease to shops and restaurants. If you’re a family, this is your place to stay.
