The staff were friendly and courteous, making the check-in process easy. The external area was lovely, and the 24/7 check-in and after-hours access were great. All the amenities you’d expect in a room were available, and the onsite free car parking was appreciated. The room was mostly clean, but we did notice roaches just as we were about to go to sleep. Not much we could do at 10:30 pm, so I reported them to the front desk upon check-out. The gentleman said he would get onto housekeeping. The sheets were clean but stained, and the room seemed to need a deep clean. The bed was awful to sleep on, and the breakfast options were very limited for the price, the coffee machine only gave full cream option and then spat the milk everywhere but in the cup. Overall, the building felt tired, and items like stained coffee cups and stained sheets could be replaced. Considering these factors, I would say it’s a bit pricey for the state of the building and amenities. However, since we were there on business, it suited us just fine. We would likely stay again if a quick overnight stay was required.

Cairns getaway

We were visiting Cairns to watch our daughter play for Northern Pride we cost to stay at Cairns Sheridan as it was in between the city centre and where our daughter lives. We found the room nice and comfy, there was a pub next door which was open until 9pm for meals, the bus went straight past on Sheridan St so even if you didn't have a car public transport was close by. Would definitely stay here again. The room was nice and roomy we had a little balcony and viees of tge mountain. There was an onsite restaurant although we didn't eat there.

Stayed here 28 years ago & appears bathroom has not been updated since. Bathroom needs decent clean & update. Carpet in lifts dirty & stained. Could hear plumbing when people used showers/toilets in other rooms. Garden bed outside window was full of dead weeds. Beds were OK comfort wise but pillows not so much. Expected more for the price.
