Cairns Plaza Hotel

Cairns Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely large room with separate bedroom. Air con throughout although bedroom air con unit noisy and not always responsive. Basic items for eating food and microwave to heat things up. Great views out over the water watching the boats and ships coming and going. Laundry on site was a bonus. Very convenient for all the downtown activities."
