The single bed did not have a top sheet. The double bed only had a sheet with no other cover. The bathroom door did not fit the door frame. The door was too small which lefr a gap around the frame which allowed the shower curtain to blow around when in the shower.

The unit was dirty, we had to ask for a change of towels after our second night. The sheets sufficed for 3 nights and there was no dining area. This ultimately suited us as we were out for the whole three nights.

The Cairns City Motel is a good place to stay, it is clean, centrally located and not expensive. It is close to the Aquarium, Markets and Waterfront Precinct. The only downside is that the reception area is only staffed for limited hours and only has 6 off-street parking spaces. I will definitely stay there again.

I/We will definitely book and stay at the motel in the next visit to Cairns, Australia. Thank you Craig & Cairns City Motel!
